The 5 Best Quick Makeup Tips

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

To stay gorgeously beautiful, it is always important to have easy and quick makeup tricks up your sleeve! Here are the best of the best from my San Antonio wedding makeup experience.

1. To keep your foundation on all day long, make sure to apply liquid foundation with a sponge to only the areas of your complexion that need coverage. Blend well, and top with a translucent powder.
2. The best way to achieve a natural look is to layer your makeup with a light application of foundation, then blush, then powder.
3. Apply a small amount of foundation to your lips before your lip liner and lipstick for an all-day color.
4. If your mascara is flaking, apply eyelash primer before your volumizing mascara product.
5. Curl your lashes the easy way by heating your eyelash curler with a blow dryer before curling for volume that will last all day long!

Mineral Makeup For Your Wedding Day

If you are not already using mineral makeup, then I strongly encourage you to find a makeup artist that uses it for your wedding day. I personally am smitten by mineral makeup cosmetics to use on all of my brides in my work in San Antonio wedding makeup because it looks so natural and stays on for longer. Obviously, I always make a point to use waterproof mascara since it is a wedding day, after all, but there are actually some wonderful mineral formulas of mascaras that are free from parabens and great for sensitive eyes. If you are using a mineral makeup foundation for your wedding day, then it your best bet is to begin with a primer so that it stays on longer. Mineral makeup has become increasingly popular in the last few years because it is good for your skin, lasts longer, provides natural sun protection, and looks the most natural. Mineral makeup is good for skin types with:

  • Acne
  • Rosacea
  • Oil and breakouts
  • Dryness and irritation
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

As you can see, that pretty much encompasses any skin condition that you may be dealing with! It will definitely make sense to test drive your mineral makeup foundation before your actual wedding day to make sure that it is what you’re looking for, but I strongly recommend it for a natural and long-lasting wedding day look for flawless skin.
