Makeup for the Picture Perfect Bride

What girl doesn’t love makeup? I sat down with makeup artist, Sabra Mizzell of Willow Salon in Charleston, SC, to find out what makeup you should be wearing on your wedding day! 

Now we know every bride wants to look picture perfect on their wedding day, but did you know that a certain type of makeup and application can make your photographs even more fabulous?! If any of you are believers in beauty tips from the stars, you have probably heard of silicone-based airbrush makeup. Silicone-based airbrush makeup was originally created for film, and has been a favorite of brides ever since. Sabra recommends airbrush makeup to all of her brides because it is simply “tear-proof, sweat-proof, and photographs like a dream!” For all you ladies with sensitive skin, good news- it is hypoallergenic and provides great coverage! Sabra’s go to airbrush makeup is created by Temptu, a favorite brand of runway shows, television, celebrities, and all her beautiful brides. 

For the brides who prefer a standard application of makeup, there are a few things you should know. Standard application uses a medium coverage foundation, which normally contains SPF. The SPF causes light to reflect, creating a white cast over your face. To photograph flawlessly on your wedding day, it is important to apply a foundation that is SPF-free. SPF-free foundation is recommended because it absorbs light, creating a natural glow - making you a picture perfect bride.
