Not Doing a Proper Skin Prep
This one is a really important thing that a bride must do before starting with her bridal makeup. A good skin prep before doing your makeup can save you the terror of getting a cakey texture on your face. It helps your makeup to spread evenly and stay put for longer hours. A skin prep includes the following steps:
- Cleansing your face with a good face wash.
- A toner or serum to seep in the moisture and keep it cool.
- Another step is to moisturize your skin with a moisturizer that suits you.
- A sunscreen is a must if your wedding is during the day time and in an open area. You can skip this if evening is the time for your wedding.
- At the end comes a good primer that creates a smooth even base for your makeup.

Wanting an “Over the Top” Makeup Look
Brides often wish for a heavy bridal makeup look, but according to stylists and makeup artists, this has become a gone trend now. It is actually because heavy makeup looks do not highlight your natural features but rather hide them. A more natural-looking makeup with a highlighting effect on your cheekbones and blush that gives a dewy touch to your face is the perfect vibe for this wedding season.
Trying a New Lip Colour
Another normalized trend in the bridal makeup series is opting for a totally new lip colour for your wedding. But choosing a shade that compliments your makeup, skin tone, and one that doesn’t overpower your face is the best for your wedding makeup look. So, the best idea here is to do a colour theory test a week or 10 days before your wedding. It can save you from a shade-up or shade-down disaster. It is your day, so look the best!
Trying Lenses and Falsies for the First Time
When it comes to wearing lenses and false eyelashes, you need to be prepared for their application on a prior basis. In the case of lenses, they can be a little tricky to put on and you can pick your eye in case you have just gotten your nails done. Yes, that can happen and this will be a bitter bridal makeup mishap to ever happen, so you need to practice putting on lenses.
Another is putting on fake eyelashes, this is not a very tricky task since brides have makeup artists and stylists to help them look the best. But what style or shape of eyelashes you are using matters here. Corner or half lashes are a good option here, you can start by wearing them to a few functions before getting used to them.
You Reject Your Skin
This scenario is one that should be the first to consider in the whole concept of bridal makeup. Brides these days want to look two to three shades brighter than their natural skin tone. The first step to looking the best on your wedding day is to be happy and comfortable and love yourself so much that your affection towards your skin is enough to make it glow.
It is a total misconception in our society to look a shade fairer, which is actually something that should be rejected, and not your complexion. A little touch-up to lift the mood of the day is the only thing that is needed.
