Autumn and winter weddings also exist and to be the perfect guest, good makeup is essential if we want the look to be top ten. One of the keys is knowing how to choose makeup appropriately according to the event. For example, an afternoon wedding is not the same as a daytime wedding, the important thing is to choose the makeup so that it is appropriate to the context.
According to statements made by makeup artist David Francés to Telva magazine, the key is that, regardless of the event, you don't feel “dressed up.” This is very important because to feel comfortable and be ourselves we must always base ourselves on our personal tastes.
Even so, since we are talking about being the ideal guest, we must take into account the time of day in which the event takes place. “Morning makeup needs to be a little lighter in terms of intensity in the look, although always without giving up the benefits of makeup such as enlarging the eye, opening it or removing cheekbones where there are none,” says Francés.
If you have a late night wedding, it is important to emphasize more and go for more intense makeup. The reason is explained by the expert: “it is necessary to mark more since as soon as the light falls everything disappears.” On the other hand, the makeup artist advises that it is important that the skin does not look overloaded, which is why he recommends avoiding colors that are too strident. The ones that work best are neutral colors, whether warm or cold, but in this line because they are very elegant and rejuvenating.
The mistakes to avoid
It is true that on many occasions we seek to innovate with makeup, and we launch with different and brighter colors. But the expert believes that “the big mistake is to load the skin with a lot of makeup.” She also advises mixing the makeup base with sunscreen or a serum to achieve a brighter, softer finish without a heavy effect.
If we have learned anything in recent years, it is that fresh and beautiful skin is not achieved with dense makeup bases, which is why we always recommend light formulas with a skin effect. As with mature skin, it is not advisable to overdo it with highlighters.
But another of the mistakes that David points out, and that is usually quite common in guest makeup, is combining the makeup with the color of the dress. “A guest makeup mistake would be that the shadows are the color of the suit, when this is a striking color like pink or yellow,” adds the expert. To get the colors right, the makeup artist advises “staying elegant with neutral colors,” which match perfectly with any outfit.
