4 Bridal Makeup Tips For Muslim Women

4 Bridal Makeup Tips For Muslim Women

So, you’re getting married! Alf mabrouk, masha’Allah, and congratulations! Now it’s time to talk makeup – have you picked your perfect look for your big day yet?

It’s not a stretch to say many dream about their ideal wedding day. From the shoes to the dress to the hair, nails, and makeup, many brides to be have a vision of the look they want. But sometimes executing it can be challenging. While having the help of professional makeup artists and hair stylists is ideal (and alleviates some of the stress associated with the big day), sometimes you just have to get your DIY on. Or maybe you want some guidance on what to tell your makeup artist so they can carry out your vision. Don’t worry, we got you covered with bridal makeup tips!

Do a makeup trial

Whether you’re enlisting the help of a makeup artist, a trusted friend, or doing your own makeup, you should absolutely do a full-face makeup trial. This will help you see how the products will work together, with your skin, and how it will wear as time goes on. You want your look to last the whole night, and there’s nothing worse than makeup that looks a mess within an hour or so.

Consider the season and venue when choosing your products

Think about the season your wedding falls in, and how your skin usually behaves in that season – and where it will be! If it’s the summer, you’ll probably want to avoid dewy products. If it’s the winter, you’ll likely want to go sparingly on powders, and use more hydrating or creamy products. Whether your wedding is indoors or outdoors and how much exposure to the elements you’ll have is also a factor to take into consideration.

Choose a look you feel comfortable in

When you’re comfortable, you’re confident. Don’t choose a look that you’re self-conscious about, such as going with a bold red lip if that’s never been your thing. It’s okay to break outside of the box for your wedding look – after all, it is your special day – but make sure it’s something you feel comfortable and confident in. Otherwise, you may be too preoccupied with worrying bout red lipstick on your teeth to enjoy your own wedding.

Keep products on hand for touch ups on the big day

If you hire a makeup artist, you can typically pay extra for them to stick around for touchups. But if that’s out of your budget, if a friend is doing it, or if you’re doing it yourself, you should definitely keep some of the products on hand for touch ups. You should have blotting paper or translucent powder and a lipstick or lip gloss on hand at a minimum.
