Make Up Tips & Tricks Thread......

I will be keeping my eye on this thread I'm a DIY bride! So any tips will be extremely helpful :-) x

Hi Brogstar,

I'd say Youtube tutorials and lots of experimenting and practise will come in handy for your make up!

We also have loads of beauty articles here - https://www.hitched.co.uk/wedding-planning/beauty/

A good primer for foundation and eye shadow is worth it's weight in gold. And decent make up brushes because the last thing you want is the moulted hairs of your blusher brush implanting themselves in your chin- beard for the wedding anyone? And finally apply foundation with a clean foundation brush- you will use less and get a more even coverage and finish. Start at the nose and work out, up and down from there.

Go a tiny bit heavier than you would expect, anything in person shows up less with camera flash, so a lightly made up face really won't necessarily show up on photos. To test it, take snaps of yourself from your trials.
