Spring brings happy moments, the season of trips out of town, long days and orange blossom blossoms begins.
On the subject of orange blossoms, therefore, it was impossible not to think of a post dedicated to bridal makeup. On such an important day, professional bridal make-up must be taken care of down to the smallest detail.
We therefore want to give an overview of the shades to use, the long-lasting make up that must necessarily keep us company for what will be your day.
Let's start with the basics, it is very important to do a deep and thorough facial cleansing about a week before, this step in fact prepares the skin for make-up and makes it relaxed and purified for the big day.
The wedding day, or rather the night, is a very subjective moment, some more emotional people may have difficulty sleeping or fall asleep with a bit of very normal tension. Others who are much luckier could be pampered by Morfero until the following morning, in any case, in the morning you will be washed and ironed ready for the beautician's time.
For those who entrust their professional bridal make-up to the expert hands of a beautician or make-up artist, they will certainly have done some make-up tests, prices vary from around 200 to 300 euros, while for those who do it alone, they will already have some ideas in mind. shades that could be suitable for the fateful day.
The primer is a must, for the less experienced, the face primer is a transparent base often silicone-based that maintains the face make-up, it is highly inadvisable to abuse it, but in view of important occasions like this, we would like to recommend an excellent long-lasting ally like this.
Once the primer has been applied, you can move on to the base, the foundation is the essence of the make up of the day, it is in fact advisable to use an HD foundation to enhance the highlights, but pay close attention to the shade which must be as similar as possible to the the bride's complexion to avoid contrasts and an opposite whitening effect.

Generally, given the amount of photos you will have to take, it would be necessary to leave the skin a little shiny, therefore without powders, which has the task of mattifying the skin and creating an effect that is not suitable for flashes. In terms of colours, it depends a lot on the complexion and the shades of the eyes and hair, in general, we would recommend nude or very natural shades for both the eyes and the lips. Therefore avoid colors that are too bright and vibrant, not suitable for your special day.
