Celebrity Wedding Day Makeup Secrets From A Pro

post from Beauty for Brides by Vicki Millar on 22 February 2012 02:10:34 PM. © Beauty for Brides by Vicki Millar

Have you ever looked at a celebrity wedding and wondered if you could look like they do? Yes, you can!

Below are some of the top secret tips that pro makeup artists know about but rarely share!

Secret #1: How do celebrities look so good in photo's?

First and foremost, they hire pro makeup artists that understand how to apply makeup for the camera. That sentence should really be in bold!! Reality is, not all makeup artists are created equal - find those artists that have published work and you are more likely to find a makeup artist who understands makeup and the effects of makeup with photography.

This is what the celeb's do, this is their little secret.......now it's yours too.

Secret #2: Is it true that I need to wear more makeup for photograph's?

This isn't just a rumour, it's a fact. Another fact is, the camera absorbs colour therefore if you choose to wear your regular everyday makeup look on your wedding day you will appear washed out in photo's. If this is acceptable to you, great! If not, consider more colour.

Remember, celeb's hire the best because they can afford it. You should hire the best you can afford as well - listen to their advice and remember that your wedding photograph's will last a lifetime and is not something you should try and skimp on.

Secret #3: How do celebrities continue to look fresh for what seems like hours on TV and red carpet events?

Finishing/Setting Spray! Another little makeup artist's secret outta the bag!

You can be sure that many celebrities use a finishing/setting spray such as "Model in Bottle" (there are many on the market ... just Google it!) Top makeup artists use a makeup finishing spray just as you would use hairspray to finish a hairstyle. Makeup finishing/setting sprays are applied after your look is complete. They provide long lasting effects and the big bonus for brides.... setting sprays are also helpful in avoiding makeup being transferred to clothing.

One or two quick sprays and you're set. Boom. Just like that you're set!

Secret #4: Will makeup cover up my really bad skin?

Next time you're looking through magazines of celebrity weddings, look at their skin. It's unlikely you will find anyone with bad looking skin. When I say bad looking skin, I'm not just speaking of breakouts. I'm talking about skin evenness, texture and tone.

Now when it comes to celebrity photography, Photoshop does play a part in how incredible a celebrity will look in a magazine but it won't account for their appearance on TV. There is no question that celeb's take good care of their skin on a regular and long term basis. You need to as well. Give your skin the best treatments you can afford while planning your wedding so that when your day arrives you'll get that glowing bridal makeup look yourself. Remember, small imperfections are easy to deal with but really bad skin only looks like really bad skin with makeup on. This includes airbrush makeup as well!

Under The Weather

This is my life story right now:I've been trying to kick a terrible cold that I've had for 12 days. Just when I thought I was getting over it, it came back full force last Friday. And it brought a horrible sinus infection with it. I finally broke down and went to the Dr. to get some antibiotics early this week. Hopefully that will do the trick of knocking it out of my system for good.
Just yesterday Ilah started having a runny nose and is beginning to cough and sneeze a bit - and yesterday, Dele had a root canal....so we're all pretty pitiful over here right now. And we're all low on sleep.
A sweet friend of mine sent me a text message yesterday afternoon saying that she was bringing over chicken and rice soup for me. How thoughtful!!

I had never had chicken & rice soup before and it was DEE-LISH!!! So, so good!!!

The soup in itself was enough but she also brought over a big tub of fruit....

And plastic bowls, cups, napkins and spoons {so that I wouldn't have to do dishes}...and Italian soda....

AND fruit bars for dessert!...Her kindness really touched me and it meant a lot to me that she would put her days agenda on hold to make my family a meal and drop it off at our home. What a GREAT friend.
It's a good thing that I bought Kleenex when it was on sale a few weeks ago because I've already gone through two boxes. I think I've just about blown my nose off.On a totally unrelated note: The walls within my house are officially showing that we have a 2 year old living here.
