How To D.I.Y Your Wedding Makeup

If you are doing your own wedding makeup and wondering what products to use, here is a roundup of products I love.

Slight changes would need to be made depending on your skin type, the colour of your eyes, and your skin undertones, but feel free to take this as a guide in the right direction.

All the products below are used on my current bridal clients and layer beautifully. Two things to consider when applying your wedding makeup are ensuring you prep your skin well with your skincare products and blending each layer of makeup.

If you need to add makeup brushes or would like to know my most recommended brushes, these are the ones I use in my pro kit.

The ZOEVA brushes last for years when looked after and washed regularly. They are so soft to touch and blend makeup well. What I love about them the most is that they reshape without problem, so you will never get bristles drying out of place.

If you would like help creating your perfect bridal makeup or a chance to try out one or two looks using the best colour choices for you, please do get in touch.
