1. How to Apply Foundation:
I have seen girls buy the most expensive foundation on the market , slap it on their face with wide, thick strokes of their hand and then complain why it isnt doing any good. Here are my tips for applying foundation
Use very small, short strokes and spend as much time as possible. Focus on one small area, complete that move to the next. Big, wide strokes from your cheek to your chin – like you are painting a wall is a total no no. If you ever go and get a trial from a good makeup artist- notice just how much time they spend, getting into nooks and corner, covering yr face in small short strokes and being patient.
Apply it in thin layers, building it up one at a time : Thin, sheer layers are always better than thick, heavy ones. Letting your natural skin breathe through is important and it gives you an idea of how much foundation you need
Not every part of your face requires the same amount of foundation: Most of us are darker around the mouth area, with relatively spot free cheeks. You might want to spend more time concealing the darkness first, and going over that area with more foundation, and keeping the coverage on your cheeks very runny and light .
Always keep your strokes from top to bottom direction. This is something I learnt, that if you go in any other direction, you are going the opposite direction of hair growth, causing your hair to stand up and make your skin look uneven. It is good to use a polishing brush to get the desired effect. Please put foundation on your neck and Back. Do not forget it. 2. How to Conceal Under Eye Circles
The idea behind concealing your eyes (something, I learnt ) is to apply concealer ONLY where it is dark.
3. How to achieve the Glow that every Bride needs
You are a bride, you NEED to glow . People just NEED to think that the happiness is making you glow, but actually its just highlighter. Dont tell them that though!
Mixing your foundation with a shine mixing medium is sometimes also a good tehcnique to start with. Invest in some good brand.
3. How to make your skin talk
You can get away with zero makeup, if you have gorgeous skin. So make sure you do your research about what products work for me. Well moisturized, plump skin with just liner and lipstick is probably more pretty than anything any foundation will achieve.
Increase your water intake manifold 3 months before the wedding. Drink atleast one BIG glass every hour.
Make sure you have sunscreeen on no matter where you are- its not about whether there is sun outside or not. It doesnt matter. You need sunscreen all the time.
Have a small in home facial routine- Mine involves steam, splashing face with cold water ,massaging with a cleanser, and a fresh fruit face mask.
Do NOT sleep with makeup on. The smartest thing you can do, is either invest in a solid makeup remover, or personally i just use my makeup studio make up remover. But remember as a bride you will be wearing solid makeup every night, and if you dont remove it properly you will very likely have raccoon eyes.
4. How to do a pretty basic eye :
The eyeshadow-
If you really are just not getting how to do your eyes. It doesnt get easier than that- 2 contrasting bases, one single eyeshadow.
A basic, pretty eye is simple. It just needs a sheen on the lid, and an eyeliner. You can skip all the crease color, the outer corner etc if you arent comfortable .

5. Primer for Eye Shadow
Using an eye shadow primer ensures smudge-free makeup, a must when you're wearing all white.
6. The Eyeliner
Eyeliners should really thinnest at the inner corner of the eye, and thickest either at the outer corner (if you like a slight bit of a cat eye effect), or thickest at the centre with the outer corner swept out (for a wide eyed effect)
7.The Lashes
If you can really master the art of wearing false lashes then i highly recommend you learn how to. False lashes that give that extra oomph that a regular mascara doesnt!
8. Waterproof Makeup Is Key
"If you're worried you're going to cry on your wedding Don't forget to use a waterproof mascara! "Even if you don't like waterproof," use it as an extra coat over your other mascara. And, if you're wearing false lashes, use a glue that's waterproof, too."
9. Do Some Prep Work — on Your Lips
Put lip balm on your lips before gloss or lipstick so they're not dry and flaky. Then, fill in your entire lip with a lip pencil, which will hold the color longer. "For brides who just want to wear a gloss, prepare for it to fade. "However, a lip pencil will help you keep some of that color longer."
10. Play it Safe
If you're considering making a drastic change (ie.. changing into bright hair color), think twice. Changing your look so significantly before such a big event can be a big mistake. Instead, aim to look like yourself—just enhanced.
