Ceremony makeup for the face
While every bride is advised not to overdo the makeup, in order to maintain a natural beauty, the same is also true for guests who are invited to any ceremony, both day and night, not just a wedding. Normally, these events happen in the spring or summer season, when most of us women drop or stop wearing makeup altogether. However, for a perfect look, a little make-up doesn't hurt, the important thing is to stick to the natural colors of your skin. In fact, the neutral shade is the best solution both for its class and for the fact that it fits perfectly with whatever outfit or accessory is chosen.
To achieve a nude make-up, it is necessary to take a series of steps so that it can last for the whole day, especially if the event you are attending lasts until the evening. First of all, you need to give a good base of moisturizer. , at least one hour before the makeup is done. Then, we move on to the primer, recommended in particular for women who have dilated pores, and to that of the foundation, not so essential if your skin does not show obvious imperfections. In this case, you can also use the concealer only in the so-called "strategic" areas, under the eyes, along the nose, on the forehead and on the chin. Finally, as a final touch, you can apply bronzer on the cheekbones and fix everything with transparent powder.
Ceremony makeup for the eyes
The secret of make-up as an invitation to a wedding, or to a ceremony in general, consists in focusing on the eyes, which are the "element of the face on which you can indulge yourself more freely, without the risk of overshadowing" the bride. or the star of the party. If the chosen look is pastel, a good idea is to keep this palette also for eye makeup, always taking care not to overdo the amount of eyeshadow, and maybe apply some false eyelashes to top it all off. If not, you can opt to highlight the color of your eyes by adapting the make-up to them.
For example, to create a ceremonial make-up for brown eyes, the ideal is to stay on the brown shade scale for eyeshadow: colder tones, such as plum, are more suitable for those with blond hair, while the warmer ones, such as caramel or ocher, are perfect for women with dark hair. In both cases, the colors can be blended to obtain the irresistible effect smokey eyes on the eyelid, without ever losing sight of the natural and light make-up you want to show off. Finally, to highlight the shape of the eye and the color of the iris, just draw an elongated line of black eyeliner, with the tail that extends slightly.
If, on the other hand, you have blue eyes and the ceremony you are attending is in the middle of summer, highlight the iris with a blue or light blue pencil - passed outside on the eyelid but also delicately inside at the bottom - or by choosing an eyeshadow from the palette of the same colors. Obviously, this option can only work if your dress is coordinated with these shades. Otherwise, prefer a nude make-up making a classic smokey eye bronze, or by blending the bronze color on the eyelid, so that the golden specks give a bright touch to your look.
Finally, for those with green eyes, there are also several possibilities here. If the iris is very light, then pastel shades, such as purple, pink or the same green, are perfect. In the case of a darker iris, on the other hand, the brown or black palette is preferred. As with brown and blue eyes, always pay attention to whether the make-up chosen goes well with the colors of your dress and accessories.
Whatever color your eyes are, there are a few steps you can always follow. First of all, since in view of a ceremony the focus is on the neutrality of the make-up highlighting only the eyes, the eyeliner is always an excellent ally. In fact, many choose to draw a perfect black line, a little thicker along the tail of the "eye and in the cat-eye style, to enhance your look. Then, never forget to give at least a light pass of mascara, making your lashes thicker and more voluminous: for those who want, you can also apply false eyelashes, not excessively long or dense, which focus the attention even more on our eyes.
Ceremony makeup for the lips
There is less freedom of choice on the make-up of the lips than that of the eyes, but there are different alternatives depending on when the ceremony takes place, whether during the day or in the evening. In the first case, it is better to stick to a make-up that includes lipsticks of nude colors, trying to accommodate the tone of your skin tone. In the second, however, you can also focus on brighter colors, such as burgundy or the classic red lipstick: the important thing is that they are opaque and not shiny. And glossy.
In order for the lipstick to last as long as possible, we recommend that you follow a few simple steps such as those that precede the application of makeup on the skin. When you spread the moisturizer on your face, put some cocoa butter on the lips or prepare them with a quick scrub, so that they are perfectly smooth. Before applying the lipstick, apply some lip primer and draw the outline with a neutral colored pencil.
