And while you should definitely be wearing SPF every single day, the only exception, is your wedding day. “Foundation that contains SPF will reflect the light off the camera, so it may appear that your skin is a lighter shade in photos,” explains Rachelle. What’s more, “putting a high SPF factor under makeup can oxidize foundation, so will change the colour of your foundation as the day goes on,” she adds. “Wearing a foundation without an SPF or no more than SPF 15 will help to prevent this”, agrees Zara. And “make sure your moisturiser [or anything else you put on your skin] doesn’t have too much SPF too,” she adds.
Another pitfall? “Glossy lips on a windy day are a bad combo,” warns Rachelle. It’ll get in your hair and on the groom, “then he’ll be wearing the gloss in your photos,” says Rachelle. “Plus it wears off quickly.”
And, if you plan on wearing fake lashes for an extra flutter, try them on beforehand to check they’re not too much. “If they’re too heavy, they can close and droop eyes,” says Rachelle.
4. Timeless, fool-proof shades
Want to cover your face in glitter before heading down the aisle? You do you. Feeling a bright fuchsia lip? We’re here for it.
There’s nothing we like more than fierce bridal looks, but if you are looking to keep it a bit more classic and timeless, Zara recommends bronze, champagne, rose gold and soft grey tones. “All are perfect timeless shades that complement many skin tones,” she says. And, if you’re worried about looking washed out (wearing white can do this), Rachelle advises sticking to warm colours, which means antique golds, pretty peaches, coppers and burgundies.
Even if you don’t think you’re going to cry, it’s best to play it safe with waterproof. If you have a favourite non-waterproof mascara you can bear to part with, Zara has a trick you can use:
“What we love doing at Bobbi Brown is using our best-selling mascara, Smokey Eye Mascara, to create perfect lashes and then apply a generous coating of our No Smudge Mascara as a ‘rain coat’ to stop mascara smudging.”
6. Take care with your eyeliner
Eyeliner can be the Achilles heel of wedding day makeup, especially if you’re dealing with a nervous, shaky hand. Zara says to keep it classy and safe by smudging. “I love doing a classic thin wedge liner on my brides and softly smudging the liner out with a similarly toned eyeshadow to create a soft, smokey liner.”
