How To Have Long Lasting Eye Makeup For Your Wedding Day

eyeThis is incredibly important because you in no way want your makeup to run halfway through your wedding reception! Here are some easy tips to keep your eye makeup lasting all day long on your special day, from my San Antonio bridal makeup experience.

  • First, you must start out with an eyeshadow primer that will cause your eyeshadow pigment to better adhere to your skin.
  • After that, you can apply a cream eyeshadow to your eyelids, which will serve as the base shadow.
  • You can apply your dry eyeshadow directly on top of the cream shadow, which is going to allow for a much longer wear than only using dry shadow by itself. This will also work to give a greater color and depth to your eyeshadow that you are wearing.
  • Make sure that you are always using waterproof mascara, especially since this is a hectic and potentially emotional day where you may be crying.
  • I would also not recommend wearing a liquid eyeliner because that does tend to run. You’ll be much better off using an eye pencil or a powdered eyeliner applied by using a slanted brush with a dark eyeshadow.
  • Finish with a setting spray, which will work to freeze the makeup to your face for a much longer wear to last your entire wedding day long.

These are tested tips that will make your eyeshadow wear last that much longer, even into your honeymoon!
