Make-up for girlfriend step by step: day, afternoon or classic

January 22, 2018

It is the wedding season and for such a special occasion, I present you with three bridal makeups, ideal for such an important day.



In the three makeups for today's wedding, the most important thing is to prepare the skin in advance. It is ideal to perform an extra hydration several months ago to achieve a perfect result on that great day. You can check this entry for it: Would you like to have a hydrated skin from today?

Then, with these basic tips and tricks of skin care, you can get a dazzling result for this day or for any occasion.

#Specific treatment


To get a perfect look it is important to first apply a specific treatment for your skin. That way you'll have your face ready to make up later. This treatment should consist of at least one cleanser, serum and moisturizer. I recommend Mary Kay's Timewise Miracle Set. It is essential to have a fresh skin that gives a perfect close-up.

If necessary, then choose anti-aging supplements to help you dazzle, such as anti-dark circles, an eye contour or a perfectioner serum.


#Perfect finish


When the time comes, perfect your skin with these simple steps:

1. Apply a make-up primer.

The secret of a perfect and lasting finish lies many times in the application of a foundation primer. After treating the skin, allow the products to be absorbed to apply the pre-base. The pre-base helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. I recommend the Pre-base of Makeup with SPF 15 of Mary Kay. This lightweight gel glides on easily filling imperfections and dries instantly with a matte finish. This is how you create the perfect canvas for an impeccable foundation application, which prolongs the duration of makeup.

2. Apply the concealer.

The concealer conceals an irregular skin tone, pimples and dark spots. The secret of a natural result is to apply it little by little and melt it correctly with the skin.

3. Apply the foundation.

The foundation gives you a smooth and even skin. You apply it on the whole face, from the center to the sides. Use gentle movements until it is fully fused with the skin.

4. Apply the Powders.

Once you have applied the color, fix it with the powders and your makeup will remain intact for hours. For example, apply Translucent Powders to reduce shine and get a radiant face. You can also use Bronzing, Illuminating or Compact Powders, depending on the effect you want to achieve.

Now that you have the perfect skin, you can explore these professional makeups that I present to you for a day or evening wedding, more classic or daring. I remind you that you can also customize these bridal looks in the Mary Kay Virtual Makeup Application by adding many more details: accessories, hairstyles, color combinations...
