Amy Cooper Makeup

You have booked in your makeup artist for your wedding and you are starting to visualise what makeup look you want to go for. Usually, the next step will be to organise a makeup trial where you and your makeup artist have the opportunity to design and plan your look ahead of the wedding day.

But how do you work out the best makeup look for you?!

Here are my tips in thinking about what makeup look will be best for you on your wedding day, so you can be prepared for your makeup trial and have no regrets!

The Whole Look 

While makeup is a big part of the day, you want to consider the whole look:

• The style of your wedding dress (eg, contemporary or traditional)

• The plan for your hair (eg, relaxed or formal)

• Any accessories you’ll be wearing (ie, style and colour)

• The location of your wedding (eg, beach or farm)

• The reception environment (eg, indoor or outdoor)

• The style of your venue (eg, boho chic or romantic)

• And any other factors that might influence your look

Unfortunately this can be a little tricky as you won’t see all the elements come together until your wedding day, but thinking about this information and sharing it with your makeup artist will help give some direction to your makeup look.

What’s your ‘usual’?

Your wedding day is such an important day where you want to feel like a queen, but at the same time you still want to be true to yourself and feel like you. Do you have a makeup look that you wear everyday? Or a makeup aspect you wear no matter what? For example, you may wear a bold black eyeliner everyday or pack a ton of highlighter on! So, you may feel uncomfortable if you choose to do something different on your wedding day. It’s best to maintain any makeup habits, routines or quirks that you already have - you are definitely going to feel more comfortable with them!
