I’m sure many of you brides-to-be have wondered how you can make your makeup look absolutely flawless for your upcoming wedding. You would want to hide the spots of freckles on your cheeks or the depressing aging lines on your forehead. You’re not merely thinking about all the eyes centered on you on your special day. You’ve also taken into account the cameras you’ve rented as well as those brought by hundreds of people who will be attending your wedding. These photos and videos captured will last a lifetime. They will be forever etched and seen in the hardware of their computers, photo albums and maybe even in their bedrooms.
In today’s technological age where high definition cameras and lenses have resolutions that are substantially higher than the cameras a decade ago, the subject has to look perfect because all the minute details can be seen and saved for life. Cameras now are becoming very sharp, such that they can now capture even the thinnest wrinkle at the side of your eyes and the tiniest pimple on your nose. There’s nowhere to hide them.
In order to face these intimidating and challenging lenses, the application of makeup must be impeccable or, if not, flawlessly invisible. Most makeup brands now have an HD line that will serve this purpose well. Arriving at a picture perfect shot can be quite easy with the following techniques.
Start with a clean and moisturized face. Use primer always. Sephora offers Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer that is used after the moisturizer and before the foundation. This is to create a “perfect canvas” as the blend of vitamins and antioxidants smoothens the skin and fills in the lines and pores, to make it perfect for foundation application.
Next, apply a liquid foundation to give you a glowing and flawless complexion. Do not apply a very thick layer because you still would want your skin to show through. Capture Totale High-Definition Serum by Dior is the multi-tasker of high definition makeup. It contains liquid crystal pigments, anti-aging ingredients and an SPF 15.
On top of the foundation, use the YSL’s Touche Eclat to conceal lightly. This is one of the best concealers in the market. Then, apply a lightweight powder over your face to eliminate excess shine. Make Up For Ever has an HD line that is primarily catered for actors, to keep their complexion presentable for “6x magnification of high definition compared to regular cameras.” Their HD Powder is able to soften the skin and doesn’t accentuate wrinkles – it leaves the skin with a velvety finish.
Three tips that you should always remember: blend and blend and blend. Blend your way through each step. This is to avoid creating unnecessary creases or lines on your face.
Once you’re done, you’re good to go. Don’t worry too much. I’m sure you’ll be beautiful on the big day! Savor it and enjoy your marriage even more.
