Choosing a makeup look for your wedding can be tricky. It has to last from the time you get ready through the last dance and look great in pictures and in person. Fortunately for you D.C. based brides, Carola Myers , the extremely talented makeup artist, shares her advice on what works best for the big day.
What advice do you have for brides when choosing a makeup look for the big day?
I usually advise brides to choose a look that makes them feel special and beautiful. Once they have an idea for their wedding day look, I can customize that look to best match their facial features. I also discuss and provide recommendations based on other factors such as the time of year, location, time of the wedding, and wedding theme or style. All these should be considered when determining the bridal makeup look.
What make up looks best in photos?
For wedding photos, a mix of natural and glamorous makeup looks is one of the best choices. My signature classic yet modern makeup styles offer more versatility when creating an individual, customized look. Overall, a great wedding makeup look should be a timeless style for wedding picture keepsakes.
What looks best in person?
The best makeup look to wear in person are those that are well blended and well finished so that it will stay intact for several hours. Some radiance on the skin adds a fresh and healthy glow, highlight effects on the eyes and sculpted eyebrows refines the eye makeup look.
For a sultry look choosing sheer bronze earthy tone eyeshadows with a mix of grayish semi matte finish adds intensity and glamour. Red lips creates a very luscious look and naked lips with lipgloss are always amazing. People notice your face first so it is important to make it appeared effortless and perfectly done.
What make up trends are you most excited about for the upcoming season?
For the upcoming season, I am excited about my blend makeup technique by using airbrush makeup in addition to the traditional makeup application. It helps keep the makeup intact for a longer time with a light, even coverage. It provides the best makeup finish for a live event, high resolution photography and high definition videography. The latest beauty trends right now are the return of the porcelain skin look, contouring effects for a natural blush look, fresh face makeup and sheer finish lipstick rather than opaque for the “wine-stained lips” look trend.
Where do you get your inspiration or ideas for new looks?
My ideas for new looks are ongoing and come from all around – the change of season, colors in nature, and the latest trends in designer fashions. For instance, I have been using a dewy and fresh makeup finish recently, as the season changes and we lose humidity, we have to create visual effects with creme makeup foundations and liquid blushes for the right texture .
I rely on the latest makeup products but my inspiration comes from simply listening to the client. From each new bride I learn and am inspired to bring out the best of their personal beauty styles.
