pro artist tip of the week – wedding makeup guide

Aug 16, 2011

at stila, we are no strangers to wedding makeup.  in fact, we love using stila on brides.  it’s a perfect pair for that special day.  however, we do have some suggestions for wedding makeup.  whether you hire someone or do your own makeup, keep this guide in mind.  it will ensure you look amazing on the big day.

use makeup to enhance your features.  we all love makeup.  but it’s your big day, and you want to see you, not your makeup.  you can go bold if you feel like it, but do it in the right way!

bump up your lip and cheek color.  there’s a reason for the ever-popular phrase “the blushing-bride”.  embrace it.  you won’t look like a clown with a little more color and you’ll definitely look better in the pictures.

leave the colors for the bridesmaid’s dresses. a wedding is a great occasion for fun colors.  however, these colors can be distracting when it comes to makeup – particularly with the eyes.  instead, stick with neutral tones to enhance your eyes.  try our new in the light palette if you need color options!

when in doubt, use waterproof.  waterproof products are always a good idea for weddings.  if there is a waterproof option, use it!

did any stila fans watch the bachelorette last night?  we did!  although there were many exciting moments, including roberto’s proposal, our favorite part was definitely the moment when the camera focused on ali’s lipstick application.  yes, it was stila lipstick!  way to go ali!  stila lipstick will always provide you with a perfect pout – a must have for those important moments (i.e. a proposal on national television!)

many people are asking – what color was that lipstick?  it is needed to win over a man like roberto.  it will also come in handy for wooing chris.  after all, he’s available and many girls are already in line!  if you must have this breathtaking look, there is only one place to find this lipstick.  it is a limited edition shade created in honor of sarah lucero.  the color, “sarah” can be found at fred segal’s studio beauty mix in santa monica.  supplies are limited.  call 310.394.8509, press 0, and ask to speak with viviana.

last weekend the stila team worked with sephora beauty blogger mari tzikas.  her best friend of 15 years was getting hitched.  stila was thrilled to be apart of this celebration and this momentous day for mari’s best friend karen.

on the most important day of a girl’s life, perfect skin is a necessity.  stila artists’ kaci, lindsey, and sulema used nothing but the best on everyone’s skin.  their go-to product was stila’s new one step correct.  “this product provides the ideal amount of glow for any bride,” lindsey explains.  “i love how it balances, corrects, and hydrates the skin without leaving it looking too shiny.”  want some examples?  here are some photos of the bridal party taken with a basic camera phone!
