Most girls fantasize their entire life about looking beautiful on their wedding day. It is important that you make the right choices in makeup for that special day.

Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Analyze your complexion. Keep mind that it changes for some women according to the season. Wear the colors that flatter your skin tone and eye color.

  2. Step 2

    Consider your wedding colors. If your wedding colors are autumn tones like rust and gold, don't where pink eye shadow and blush. You do not have to match the wedding colors, but wear ones that don't clash.

  3. Step 3

    Keep your makeup in tune with the theme of your wedding. If your wedding is outdoors, keep makeup natural. If your wedding is very formal and traditional, wear classic makeup like black eyeliner and red lipstick.

  4. Step 4

    Think about the season of your wedding. Wear golds and bronzes in the summer, rust tones for autumn, deep tones for winter and pastels for spring.

  5. Step 5

    Reflect your personality. You should look special on your wedding day, but not different. If you are romantic at heart, wear purple or plum shades. If you are light-hearted and fun natured, wear pinks and peaches.

  6. Step 6

    Use the proper products for your wedding day. Even though you may not wear them normally, there are certain items you need to ensure that your makeup lasts all day and night and looks good in photos. Wear under eye concealer, lipstick, translucent powder and eye foundation.
