1. Preparation: The Canvas Matters
The key to makeup that doesn't budge during a 12-hour celebration is hydration. We recommend our brides start a dedicated skincare routine at least three months before the big day. This ensures the skin is plump, smooth, and ready to hold products.
"Your wedding makeup should be an enhanced version of your natural self—radiant, timeless, and above all, comfortable."
2. The Art of Layering
In our NYC studio, we use a technique called "micro-layering." Instead of applying one thick coat of foundation, we apply multiple thin layers. This creates a skin-like finish that is highly resistant to tears, sweat, and humidity.
The Role of Primers
Not all primers are created equal. Depending on your skin type—oily, dry, or combination—we select a base that acts as a "velcro" for your foundation. For destination weddings in humid climates, a silicone-based matte primer is often the hero of the day.
3. Mehendi and Makeup Coordination
If you are having a traditional Indian wedding, coordinating your makeup tones with the depth of your Mehendi stain is an art form. We often suggest warm gold or bronze undertones to complement the rich henna patterns on the hands and feet.
Conclusion
Whether you are going for a chic contemporary look or a traditional glamour goddess style, the goal is to feel like the most beautiful version of yourself. Ready to start your bridal journey? Visit our gallery for inspiration or book your consultation today.
