There are a few simple things you can do to make your summer wedding makeup look unique and beautiful, from my time as a makeup artist in San Antonio. It’s easy!

  • Since the weather will be hot, go for a lighter and more natural makeup look that will stay fresh all day long. I recommend to all of my clients to use mineral makeup because it lasts longer if you are sweating or crying, and it looks the most natural.
  • Look for sheer options for your lips or cheeks to give you a flushed and sunkissed glow.
  • This is also a great time to go for bright pink hues in your eye, lip, or cheek color, especially since your skin may be darker than in the winter time, and these pink shades complement your skin perfectly.
  • Be sure to use a face primer to keep your foundation set perfectly.
  • Also, use waterproof mascara, which is perfect for crying or any humidity at all.
  • Another quick and easy tip to set your makeup if you are doing your own is to spray your face with hairspray after the makeup application, which will literally freeze your makeup in place, and make it stay longer.

These tips are fantastic to help you be a beautiful summer bride, and make your wedding celebration that much more flawless!
