If you haven't booked a make-up artist for your wedding yet, then it's high time to do it - the booking schedule of good artists in the summer fills up faster than you might think. Most likely, together with make-up master, you will also create your perfect bridal makeup, but to make it easier, we offer a review of current trends.

This year's trending shades of green

Make-up artist Anda Zariņa points out that glowing, rested and radiant facial skin is always in fashion this year. To achieve such an effect, you can use a face base with glitter particles, but you should avoid applying it on the forehead, nose and chin. Anda Zariņa says that highlighter, pre-moisturized skin, blush and a little bronzer on the face can also look very flattering. Also, the use of graphic lines or liners to elegantly accentuate the eyes is relevant in make-up this year.

But for those brides who like nature, this year they have the opportunity to express themselves using green tones, which are very relevant at the moment. Anda points out that the use of this trend will be especially suitable for those brides who will celebrate their special day somewhere near nature or, on the contrary, the green color can become a great accent in an environment where there is nothing green around.

Speaking about this year's current trends in bridal makeup, Anda Zariņa highlights the following trends:

• Lipstick shades in berry colors are current, which are applied only in the middle part of the lips, leaving a lighter color around.

• Bronze eye shadows or brownish matte shades all over the lid.

• A thin layer of foundation to make the skin look very natural and light. It is true that if the bride wants a thin layer of foundation on her face on her wedding day, then the skin of her face must be pre-treated, or such that the skin tone does not need to be visually evened out with foundation.

• Accent on the eyebrows – thick eyebrows, well-groomed shape, color, hair direction, which can be corrected with eyebrow lamination.

Don't be afraid of intense colors

Several aspects should be taken into account when deciding what the bride's makeup will be, first of all, the skin type. If the facial skin is dry or oily, then it is especially necessary to take care of it even before the wedding day, so that the wedding makeup looks smooth and the result does not cause unpleasant surprises. It is important that the make-up artist properly prepares the bride's facial skin by applying a make-up base suitable for the specific skin type. As Anda Zariņa points out, the preform products will differ for dry or oily skin.

"For wedding makeup, it is advisable to choose waterproof mascara, buy your own powder and lipstick or gloss to take with you, so that you can renew your makeup throughout the day or in the evening if you need it.

It is better to choose eye shadows of medium intensity, lipstick and foundation with medium coverage so that everything looks good in reality and in photos. It should be noted that duller colors are currently in vogue for wedding photography, so brides may not be afraid of slightly brighter and more intense lipsticks and blush.

It is more convenient to paint the lips in a shade similar to your natural one, so that the future husband does not walk around with red or bright pink lips after all the many "bitter", advises Anda Zariņa.

Make-up in photos found on the Internet will differ from how it will look in reality

1. Anda advises all brides to try on their desired wedding make-up in advance, so that on the wedding day they can enjoy the whole beautiful make-up process in a relaxed manner without any additional worries. "If you are a woman who trusts a make-up artist and you don't have the character to change your mind about your wishes, then you can also not try on your make-up.
2. But if you are a woman who knows exactly what she wants and you like to control whether everything goes according to plan, then I definitely recommend a wedding day make-up trial.

It should be understood that make-up in photos found on the Internet will differ from how it will look in reality, because every woman has a different shape of face, eyes, lips, skin, hair color and also contrasts in the face. I also recommend combining the make-up trial with a bachelorette party or some other event, so you can see how the make-up lasts and whether you like its intensity," says Anda Zariņa.
