Since wedding season is around the corner let’s discuss about the bridal makeup. I’m sure you must have scheduled appointment with makeup artist populary know as MUA for all our major functions but you also have to attend a lot dinners and small get togethers before and after marriage , honestly a lot more after marriage so let’s create bridal makeup trousseau which would help you be the centre of attention in all the events.
Step 1 : Primer
Step one would be primer but before that I would strongly recommend to follow a skincare routine , If not all the steps CTM is a MUST because it is key for a good base. Primer is an essential step kindly don’t skip it because if you have open pores – pore minimiser primer would help you fill pore and hide wrinkles. If you have dry skin you can use a hydrating primer and vice a versa for oily skin.
Diksha’s Recommendation :
- Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional pore primer – Minimize the look of pores and fine lines and helps makeup apply evenly and stay put. You also Get silky-soft, smoother-than-smooth skin.
- Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Super Hydrating – This is perfect for dry skin which will provide all the nourishment and hydration.
- Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter Mini – My personal favourite product , it is also available in miniature so that you can try before getting your hands on it. The ultimate high gloss, high glow celebrity-skin-filter-in-a-bottle! This product can be used in multiple ways as well as a primer.
Step 2 : Foundation
Next step would be foundation which you all must be aware of but selecting a perfect foundation can be a hard nut to crack because finding perfect formulation , shade and finish is already half a battle won. Every product in makeup is required to be selected on basis of your skin type and finish you want at the end. I would recommend if you are buying foundation for the very first time kindly buy it offline so that you match shade and feel texture later you can buy same shade online and get amazing deals as well
