Wedding Makeup Artist Tips Roscommon Sligo Leitrim Donegal

Hi Brides-2b,

Are you in a quiver over trying to decide what makeup brand or makeup artist you should use for your big day? Here are some helpful tips and tricks you can practice at home first before you have trials.

You say you don’t use a primer? Not to prime is a crime..Not only will it help your makeup go on smoothly and stay on smoothly for hours, it will stop the makeup going into your pours and give you a mattifying finish to reduce shine. It creates a barrier on the skin, sealing in moistuiriser, and stopping oil from rising to the surface. We love SMASHBOX Photofinish primer, it feels like velvet on the skin, and fills pores and fine line and creates a flawless base for foundation. Find one that suits your skin type.

The foundation you use should reflect your skintype. Always try before you buy. Ask for samples in Brown Thomas Galway. That’s what they are there for!  Use the right tools for the job- a sponge or a foundation brush. You do not have to buy a “real hair” foundation brush, a synthetic foundation brush is fine and a cheaper alternative and it will give you a flawless finish. It will help you apply the right amount of product and helps your foundation stay in place for hours. Set your base with a pressed or loose powder to remove any unwanted shine. 

We use Estee Lauders Double Wear, Laura Mercier Foundation, Chanel Vitalumiere Compact and Dior Skin on our brides, and for an everyday product for work we would recommend Rimmels “Wake me Up” .It gives a lovely luminescence to the skin. SMASHBOX White High Definition loose powders is one of our favourite finishing powders. Always highlight the high points of your face. Cheekbones, bridge of nose or brow bones but go easy….dont cover your whole face, a little goes a long way. We love NARS illuminator.

Looking for a Wedding Makeup Artist in Sligo

Girls,

Just some advice when choosing a makeup artist for your wedding day. 

• Make sure you have a few bridal makeup trials and try a few makeup different make up looks. 
• Dont be afraid to tell your makeup artist what you like and especially what you dont like! if you know what you like. 
• Every makeup artist has a different technique. This comes down to the fact that make up is an art form, every artist completes it differently. Make sure you are comfortable with the make up artist as she will be working closely with you.

My Thoughts on False Lashes-Individual Lashes

• I would recommend fake eyelashes for your wedding. If you regularly wear false lashes I think you will choose them for your big day. Personally I love them and I wore them on my wedding day. Try out the different false lashes. If you have never worn them make sure you have trials incase you are sensitive to the glue. Most people aren’t but you don’t want to be itching your eyes on your wedding day!
• The “individual lashes” usually cost €15-€25 to get done in a beauty salon and look great on everyone and are best applied after eyeshadow and before mascara. They will last the day after your wedding too if you don’t sleep on your face! And if you don’t remove your wedding eye makeup!
• If you like very natural makeup i would avoid them. Just tell the makeup artist.

Semi permanent eyelash extensions

• Semi perm lashes or also called 6 week lashes have become a very popular treatment this past 2 years, i have myself personally tried many brands, many lengths, as well as done countless sets.  I think they are a good option for your wedding day makeup if most importantly you 
• like very natural eye makeup as they look best and have the most impact when worn without eyeliner or lots of eyeshadow. or
• If you expect you will be tearful
• If you are going on a long honeymoon (as you will look amazing everyday without makeup!) I always do them before going on sun holidays. They last great without any maintanence. But it is a good idea to get the remover solution off the salon so you can remove them when they fall out.
• If you like glamourous eye makeup i would not opt for semi perm lashes as you cannot put mascara over them.  And for striking wedding makeup you really need lots of definition, eyeshadow and mascara so opt for the individual lashes instead.

So just a few points girls. Hope they help.
