Wedding Day Makeup- Guest Blog Post by Natalie Puikkonen of Pelle Makeup and Skin

I really wanted to add something to the blog about wedding day makeup.  I asked Make-up artist, Natalie Puikkonen, to do a blog post about how to capture your beauty and enhance that for your wedding day.  Thanks Natalie!!  Here are some pictures of a shoot we did together.  She is amazing to work with and will help put you at ease on your big day.

Hi this is Natalie from Pelle Makeup and Skin. Veronica asked me to be a guest blogger on her site today and share some bridal makeup tips with you all.

I am a licensed Master Esthetician and Makeup Artist and have been working in the industry since 2001. Most brides may wonder why they would need to do anything different to their makeup routine for their wedding and bridal pictures, but paying attention to some little things can make a big difference in the finished photos. So I have just put together a few tips on makeup and skin care that can help you get ready for your big day.

Tips for bridal makeup

1.  Face primer- a must to make foundation and makeup last all day, also smooths out skin texture and fills in fine lines
2. Lid primer- gives eyeshadow staying power and eliminates creasing
3. Waterproof /water resistant, mascara, liner, lipstick, most likely there will be some tears and we don’t want a streaky face
4. False lashes, make the eyes more glamorous and pull your look together
5. Makeup setting spray, will make your finished face last throughout the whole day
6. Brows and blush. Filling in your brows frames the eyes and you think you have enough blush on ….then put on some more, blush always fades in pictures

If all this is overwhelming, check out this post on why hiring a Makeup Artist just might be the right thing for you.

Here are a few other things you can do to look your best before the big day.

• Schedule facial treatments at least two weeks prior to your big day (facials can cause some breakouts especially on those who don't do them often.)
• Schedule all your facial waxing done at least 5-7 days prior to wedding day
• Don't drink any alcohol the morning of the wedding (it will cause redness in the face which no concealer will hide, try to avoid alcohol a couple days before as well, as it dries out the skin)
• Increase your water intake to half your weight in ounces, every day, for clearer, non-puffy face
• Relax and enjoy every moment...it will be over sooner than you think....and remember, things will go wrong...so just expect something to go wrong...and you won't get too upset.
