Makeup for Wedding Photography

Preparing the face:
Wash, exfoliate, tone and moisturize your face before applying make up
Oil control is very important. If you can, use oil free formulated products
Keep hair away from the face
To reduce puffy eyes, use Preparation H
Foundation:
Choose a thicker formulated foundation rather than the sheers ones that are used in daily applications so that all blemishes are covered easily
Blend foundation from chin to neck so that they are of the same colour
Powder:
Use lots of it, and reapply between shots, to create a mat finish look
Concealer:
2 shades lighter than skin to cover blemishes and dark spots; apply before foundation application
Contouring:
Contour cheeks and eyes to create a sculpted look
Use foundation in a shade that is 2 to 3 shades darker than normal skin tone
