Rules for choosing wedding cosmetics for green-eyed women

Content

To make a beautiful make-up on your wedding day, you need to take care of the following cosmetics in advance:

Concealer. It is a cream, not a powder, since crumbly products do not provide a stable coating. It’s better to choose in a store, come without makeup and apply a drop of product under your cheekbone. If after 2-3 minutes it’s not noticeable where the cream is, it’s your shade.
Proofreaders. Green for camouflaging redness, pink for blue under-eyes, and purple for dark spots. Don't try to cover up freckles if you have them. This is your highlight and there is no need to hide it.
Eyeshadow base. Even if the plans are only for an arrow and painted eyelashes, a base is required. It evens out the tone of the eyelid, dry and gel products fit better on it, and it prolongs the durability of makeup in any conditions.
Gel for eyebrows. With its help, you can carefully lay your hairs; after drying, the gel will fix them in the desired position.

The selection of decorative cosmetics for eye makeup depends on the chosen technique, as well as on color preferences. Makeup in warm, red shades is in fashion. Examples of palettes in these shades: Modern Renaissance Palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills, The Grunge Palette from Lime Crime, Burgundy Times from MAC.

Green-eyed girls, as a rule, belong to the Celtic (Irish) type of appearance: transparent, light-colored skin, copper hair, light eyelashes and eyebrows, and sometimes freckles. They rarely sunbathe, rather they burn, so if the wedding is scheduled for the hot season, do not forget to use sunscreen cosmetics. Select and test a couple of fabric moisturizing masks in advance (for example, tightening mask with collagen from El'Skin); if you are prone to swelling, look for products to quickly relieve swelling (for example, The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG serum).

Recommendations for application

Green-eyed girls are charming and mysterious. Their eye color is the rarest shade found. Therefore, the owners of this dignity attract everyone's attention every day. What then can we say about such a solemn event as a wedding, where the bride is the main character?

In order for everything to go smoothly, it is necessary to think through all the nuances in advance and carry out proper preparation.

First of all, you need to decide on the choice of a master who will perform this important work. He needs to describe in detail the wedding outfit, hairstyle and accessories chosen to match the image. After all, they should fit perfectly with makeup.

If the newlywed decides to cope with this difficult task on her own, then she needs to purchase high-quality professional cosmetics and test them in advance for the presence of allergic reactions .

On such an important day, your facial skin should be in perfect condition. This needs to be taken care of in advance. The bride simply must get a good night's sleep, do moisturizing masks, and can also take sunbathing to get a light, beautiful tan.

In order for cosmetics to adhere as best as possible, before application it is recommended to massage using a light scrub, and then nourish the skin with cream.

When choosing a palette for wedding makeup, green-eyed beauties must take into account their age, type of appearance and skin condition.

Makeup for different color types

When choosing makeup, not only eye color is taken into account, but also details such as skin tone and hair color. The complex of all characteristics that determine appearance is called a color type. It can be warm, cold or a combination.

Makeup for blondes

The combination of green eyes and light curls is very harmonious. This appearance does not require a bright make-up; on the contrary, with the help of cosmetics you only need to emphasize the tenderness and beauty of the girl. The foundation should be tone on tone; it is better not to use bronzers and sculptures at all or to use them to a minimum. In order to highlight the green of the eyes, you can take shadows in golden, bronze shades, and cool brown tones are also good. For eyebrows, use an ashen pencil; for lips, matte lipstick or gloss in pastel shades.

Makeup for brunettes

A natural brunette with green eyes is a rare occurrence. The same Angelina Jolie, for example, wears green lenses, but her real eye color is blue. If you still belong to such a rare type, you need to play up this successful combination in your makeup. You can highlight an unusual color and make your eyes glow with the help of dark shadows of graphite or brown shade. If you don’t want a smokey look, then highlight your eyes with a dark pencil and blend it, creating a light haze only along the edges. Be sure to apply makeup on your eyelashes, or even better, apply false eyelashes. Glossy, translucent berry glosses are suitable for lips. Eyebrow pencil should be chosen to match your hair.

Makeup for brown-haired women

For brown-haired women, shades from a warm range, matte shades of nut, ash, and beige are suitable. Brown mascara will look good; it should be used to paint over both the upper and lower eyelashes. Lip makeup is as natural as possible, as an option - taupe pencil and transparent gloss.

Makeup for redheads

A classic combination that occurs most often. Such girls should avoid cold colors in makeup, it will look unnatural. Warm shades that are currently in trend are suitable: terracotta, walnut, red. You can use dark emerald shadows; they will also highlight the color of your eyes. You definitely need to fill in your eyebrows; these girls are often light by nature. For lips, you can choose peach or coral, translucent gloss.

We don't make mistakes

To ensure that you look perfect at your wedding ceremony, try to avoid the following mistakes, which most often accompany ladies who do their own makeup at home:

Do not use expired cosmetics , especially mascara, because at the most inopportune moment they can turn you into a panda right at the wedding.
Choose waterproof, long-lasting and rich products that will last as long as possible.
It is recommended that your eyebrows be a few shades darker than your hair.
Don't overdo it with layers of foundation and powder; choose your tone carefully. Be careful with glitter and highlighters, there is a risk of turning into a fairy fairy from the large abundance of shine.
If after several home experiments you are not satisfied with your makeup, then it is better to give preference to a specialist who will turn all your bold ideas and wishes into reality.

In any case, try to use all the colors in your makeup as harmoniously as possible and not overdo it with bright shades; for such an important celebration as a wedding, muted makeup options are most appropriate.

When applying any facial products, you should try to put as little product as possible on the brush (puff, sponge) and blend well. The coverage will be uniform, the skin will be radiant and healthy.

Choice of eyeliner and mascara

The main requirement for eye cosmetics is: do not smudge during the day, and be long-lasting. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict for sure which mascara will not crumble 100%, and which eyeliner will not imprint on the eyelid. This no longer depends on the composition of the cosmetics, but on the structure of the eyelid and skin type. In any case, in order to flirtatiously shoot your eyes and be sure that everything is in order, you should adhere to these rules:

Apply a shadow base on your eyelids and paint your eyelashes with a special strengthening serum or gel;
after applying the base, powder your eyelids to prevent the makeup from rolling off;
Having drawn the arrows, wait for the eyeliner to dry completely, and only then proceed with the rest of the makeup;
give preference to products labeled “waterproof”.

It is advisable to test the product for several days in a row to be sure that it behaves ideally in any conditions. It is better to buy mascara two weeks before the wedding; often fresh mascara has a very liquid consistency, and already during use it thickens and gives the necessary volume and length.

How to prepare your face for wedding makeup

Every bride, no matter the season, her style or her wedding budget, wants to look beautiful and fresh on her special day. Therefore, the issue of beauty should be approached thoroughly and fundamentally.

Of course, systematic care of the body, face and hands requires self-discipline, but it is thanks to organization that you can get a noticeable effect. The three most important principles are:

You can't overdo it! Both with the amount of cosmetics for care, the frequency of tanning, the richness and formulas of creams, and with the number of skin care procedures. Less is sometimes better, and this is exactly the case.
When using cosmetics, do not overuse the amount.
Moisturize and re-hydrate any skin type both from the outside, using creams, and from the inside, by drinking the required amount of water.

The bride-to-be should focus primarily on night care. After a busy day, the skin, like the rest of the body, is tired, dirty and often dehydrated or dried out by the sun, frost or air conditioning. To help your skin, it is recommended to cleanse it with micellar liquids. They are lighter than traditional lotions or other cleansers, do their job perfectly and work in harmony with the skin without disturbing the pH. There are many equally good e-liquids on the market from different manufacturers.

Exfoliation is essential, but the large particles found in most products designed for this purpose can cause skin irritation.

The ideal option for every skin type is an enzymatic peel, which deeply cleanses the skin but is gentle on it.

At the end of the evening ritual, it is recommended to use a facial serum. The light, silky texture of the serum is quickly absorbed, and the abundance of ingredients is not inferior to night creams and bears fruit in the form of beautiful and “revitalized” skin. This is very important for basic night care.

If you are “fighting” any skin imperfections, it is recommended to use appropriate products after absorbing the serum or cream. It is important to remember that each procedure takes time, and you should patiently wait for its positive effects. To ensure that the bride’s makeup looks flawless on her wedding day, and her skin glows with health and freshness, is soft and smooth, you should visit a cosmetologist two to three months before the wedding ceremony.

A qualified cosmetologist, having assessed the condition of the skin, will recommend procedures to improve it and indicate proper facial care.

Perhaps the skin needs a minor treatment that will improve its condition, thereby allowing the bride to amaze the entire wedding with her natural beauty.

No less important than night care is day care. It is recommended to use soft gels or cleansing milk. However, it should be remembered that all types of skin cleansing milk affect its pH, therefore, to avoid clogged pores or acne, after wiping, cleanse your face with toner or micellar liquid.

An important step is to apply a moisturizer suitable for your skin type to your face. All skin, even the oiliest, needs a daily dose of moisturizing ingredients. The face should not dry out excessively, because the skin will start to “panic” and overproduce sebum, which manifests itself as an unsightly shine during the day. For those who are wary of heavy creamy consistencies, we can recommend gel moisturizers that do not overload the skin and do not leave a sticky layer.

An alternative to moisturizers for dry skin or a complement to oily skin are facial oils, available at natural food stores or pharmacies.

This oil, used in small quantities instead of a cream (in case of oily skin, only up to twice a week), beautifully moisturizes the skin, lubricates dry parts and blocks excessive lubrication.

Facial oil can also be used in the evening for a relaxing and stimulating facial massage.
The last important element is the use of sunscreen with SPF. They are used as a separate product or in day creams and reduce the harmful effects of the sun on the skin.
However, on the wedding day, it is advisable to refrain from using such a cream, as it does not look good in the photo. Systematicity and determination over several months will allow the bride to look confident and beautiful on her wedding day. However, to put an end to preparing your face for wedding makeup, it is worth mentioning the day immediately before the wedding. As a rule, at this moment the bride spins like a squirrel in a wheel. There are still dozens of things to be done (or completed), and in the turmoil she forgets that the most important thing is rest and well-being.

It is advisable not to leave any work at all for the day before the wedding.

So, how to spend your day before the wedding?

Start your morning with a highly moisturizing or energizing face mask. For soothing hydration, we can recommend masks that contain thermal water and hyaluronic acid (indispensable for effective hydration). As for the energy mask, it can be a facial tonic.
If the situation allows, you should give up makeup so that the skin has the opportunity to be saturated with oxygen. Instead, you can simply drink mineral water and treat your skin with a vitamin spray - this will have a beneficial and refreshing effect.
A good idea is to go for a professional massage on the pre-wedding day. However, it should be kept in mind that this should be a relaxing or anti-stress massage. You can, for example, recommend a Californian massage, which reduces stress levels, relaxes muscles, gently stimulates blood circulation, and, in combination with aromatic oils, has a calming effect.
In the evening, a relaxing bath with essential oils (lavender, mint or lemon balm) is recommended, which will calm the nerves and prepare you for sleep. After a bath, it is recommended to use olive baby oil (Hipp, Johnson's) on still damp skin, which deeply moisturizes the skin of the body much better than balms.
As for the face, moderation should be observed in the evening. It is enough to wash your face with micellar liquid and treat with enzymatic peeling. A serum is applied to the skin prepared in this way, which will restore it during sleep.

The techniques and tips mentioned above are useful not only for the bride before her wedding, but also for any other woman before an important celebration or event.

Lip contour and lipstick

If you want the most natural coverage, it is better to choose a neutral pencil shade one or two shades darker than the lip pigment, and top it with a clear gloss. El corazon has good pencils and a wide selection; a gloss with a lip plumping effect and stunning gloss is Addict Lip Maximizer from Dior. You can paint your lips with matte lipstick, but first you need to moisturize and exfoliate them, otherwise the lipstick will tighten and highlight all the flaking. The most long-lasting lipsticks are from Lime Crime (Velvetines), a budget alternative is Pin Up Ultra Matt from the Belarusian Luxvisage.

Makeup styles

The choice of makeup depends on the color type, facial features, eyelid structure and age. The main thing is a sense of proportion and the right choice of shades.

Classic style in makeup

Fashion in makeup is as changeable as in clothing, but there are a few basic techniques that are appropriate in any case. The classic style in makeup is:

combination of brown and pink shadows;
long and fluffy eyelashes, curved upward;
darkened outer corners of the eyes;
highlighting the area under the eyebrow, emphasizing the cheekbones;
glossy gloss or lipstick;
soft drawing of eyebrows.

According to the canons of classic makeup, with the help of cosmetics you need to: enlarge your eyes, add volume to your lips, make your cheekbones high and defined. Whether all this is appropriate needs to be decided individually in each case.

Nude makeup

A great option for brides with ideal facial features. In this case, you only need to emphasize what nature has awarded. The tone is translucent, blush to a minimum, highlight the eyes by slightly darkening the crease of the eyelid and the outer corner, apply eyelashes in one or two layers. Wear clear gloss or neutral lipstick on your lips. There is no need to use saturated shades, as well as matte, dense textures.

Spectacular makeup

Wearing bright makeup for a wedding is, of course, a bold decision, but often appropriate. Themed weddings, for example, require a non-standard approach to makeup. What if you draw long arrows and paint your lips with bright red lipstick, like the heroine of the movie “Hipsters”? Or make an incredible emerald smokey for a wedding in the style of a rock party? It’s easy to realize your intended image in theory, but in practice it’s better to consult with a makeup artist. The main rule of effective makeup is that it must be done perfectly.

Tips from makeup artists

Try not to mix more than three shades of shadows in your makeup ; in addition, the transitions between them should be as smooth as possible. Even if professional cosmetics were used in your makeup, do not forget to correct your makeup throughout the day, for this you can use mattifying wipes to remove sebum, tint your lips.

To make your eyes look bigger, line your lower inner eyelid with a white, waterproof eyeliner.

Don't be afraid to use glitter pigments, just don't overdo it. If you do your own makeup, all experiments and tests should be done in advance. You especially shouldn't try face sculpting on your wedding day if you've never done it before.

A few weeks before the celebration, you should visit a cosmetologist and have your face cleaned; in addition, a specialist will help you choose the necessary care for your face, thanks to which it will definitely be transformed for your celebration. If desired, the future bride is recommended to adjust her diet and take vitamins.

“Smoky eyes” is not the best choice for delicate wedding makeup; it is better to leave it for the evening celebration immediately after the celebration itself.

Step-by-step example of wedding makeup for green eyes

Preparing the face for makeup is the same in all cases: applying a base, masking imperfections, toning. After this, you can start doing eye makeup. Let's do the most popular and win-win option - makeup in beige tones:

Apply an eyeshadow base. Blend.
Apply a pearlescent golden or warm pink shade of eyeshadow to the entire moving eyelid, blend it into the crease of the eyelid.
Darken your crease with a warm terracotta or walnut shade. Blend it, drawing the color towards your temples.
Darken the outer corner of the eye with the same shade and line the lower eyelid.
Highlight the inner corner of your eye with champagne shadow or gold highlighter.
Draw a classic arrow starting from the inner corner of the eye. The tip of the arrow should extend slightly beyond the eyelid.
Apply eyelashes or false eyelashes.

This basic makeup can be modified by changing the shades of the eyeshadow. Suitable for girls with almond-shaped or round eyes; others need to adjust the shape of the arrow, depending on the structure of the eyelid. In any case, this is a win-win combination that will highlight the beauty of green eyes.

Season

Summer wedding makeup for green eyes should feature lighter and more natural shades (as in the photo below). You should pay attention to the tone of your face; it should be smooth and fresh. Using light beige tones of cosmetics, you can ensure that the bride looks natural and beautiful. Don't overload your look with dark colors. Light, unobtrusive wedding makeup is what you need for a summer celebration.

Autumn and winter weddings can be represented by bolder and darker shades in the bride's makeup. These include bronze, dark brown, gray and purple. The main thing is to find a balance between colors, to make the image harmonious and complete.
