Why You Won’t Need a Makeup Touch Up Kit!

In the blog post, we’ll tell you WHY you WILL NOT need a Makeup Touch up Kit when you hire our Team of Wedding Hair and Makeup professionals. We’ll also share some precautions you can take and emergency options for those who really want perfection on their special day!

When it’s done right…

Years ago we used to offer Touch Up services and we realized that every time we arrived a couple hours later to “touch up” our beautiful Bride & her girls… They actually DIDN’T need any touch-ups. We would basically re-apply the lipstick and maybe a dab of powder but that was about it.

A lot of our brides report to us that the makeup we applied lasted all day & night, sometimes even til the next day! The reason for this has a lot to do with our experience, our techniques and selecting the right products to use for each person’s unique skin type.

The exception to the rule!

Unless you use a lip-stain or something like the trendy LipSense lipsticks, you will most likely need to touch up your lips. I suggest you purchase a lipstick to touch up through out the day.

If you have extremely oily skin, like above average, you may also need a touch-up powder and that’s

The Secret to long-lasting Wedding Makeup!

The concern your wedding makeup will not stay put, smudge, melt off or completely disappear, is pretty common. This is the biggest and probably most photographed day of your life! I don’t blame you for being concerned about the makeup staying all day & night!

In this blog we’re sharing a few secrets our Bridal Beauty Experts use to ensure your makeup will be flawless through all the happy tears & even dance sweat!

What causes makeup to wear off?

There is a number of reasons why you may have experienced this, here’s a few!

• The makeup selected was not the right choice for your skin type
• The quality of the makeup
• Not using proper techniques & tools to apply the makeup
• Not prepping the skin properly
• Not using Face and Eye primers
• Not setting the makeup properly

Secret #1 Select the right products for your skin type

As humans, we were all made unique! When it comes to makeup, it is very important that you select products that are designed for your specific skin type whether its dry, oily, normal or a combination of those!

You may also have dry skin in some areas and oily in other areas. You might also have extremely dry skin or extremely oily skin, you’ll want to use certain products for each circumstance.

An experienced Makeup Artist will ask all of these questions during the consultation and will have a kit full of products for every skin type!

Secret #2 Use high-end brands!

Now is NOT the time to use drugstore brands! High-end brands such as MAC, Bobbi Brown, Nars, Makeup Forever, Estee Lauder etc. use high-quality ingredients and tend to carry higher pigmentation. This is a huge factor in the longevity of your makeup!

Secret #3 Use makeup brushes, not fingers!

One common mistake I hear is applying foundation, concealer, blush etc. with your fingers!
Using proper tools and techniques will not only give you a flawless look but also allows for an even application.

There are also tons of techniques that can enhance the lifespan of your makeup, such as pressing into the foundation with a makeup sponge and then applying the foundation powder. The right techniques used in combo with the right tools will definitely add hours to your makeup!

Secret #4 Prepping the skin

As stated before in secret #1, it’s important to select moisturizers, primers, oils, fillers, for your specific skin type! Prepping the skin properly is the foundation to a great makeup application, if this step isn’t done right, everything else might not stay put.

Secret #5 Prime the canvas!

Applying primer acts as a base and has a multiple benefits. Using an eye primer, you’ll notice the eyeshadow colors are vibrant & true to color. A primer will also smooth out the skin and also gives something for the makeup to “stick” to, which is why you’re makeup will last much longer using both face & eye primers!

Secret #6 Setting your makeup

There are numerous ways to set the makeup during the application and afterwards. How you would set the makeup also greatly depends on your skin type & your desired look (matte, dewy, medium, light, or full coverage)

A few common methods are powders and setting sprays. A good setting spray is the final step to sealing your Wedding Day look!

So Basically…

If you want your Makeup to last on the most special day of your life, hire our Team of Wedding Beauty Experts! That’s an investment you won’t regret!
