It’s also a wedding guest appearance, and looking perfect is in order. Be it a very close friend or a member of the family, these special days require flawless makeup that looks as effortless as possible. In this guide, we are going to take you step by step so you can be smothering next time you attend a wedding wearing just the right look using only affordable e.l.f. cosmetics. Let’s get started, and shine, baby, shine!
Preparation of the skin for makeup
Before applying all of the above, your skin must be prepped. And if your base is prepped properly, then the makeup will stay on for a longer time, and you will look healthy throughout the whole night of the event.
Cleanse: Then use the face wash to make sure that dirt and oils come out of your pores.
Exfoliate: Apply a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells to acquire a surface.
Moisturize: Use a light moisturizer—perhaps suitable in terms of consistency and type for your skin—so that your skin can be hydrated and plumped.
Prime: Use e.l.f.’s Poreless Putty Primer for a smooth, pore-free base. This one blurs imperfections and helps your makeup stick to your face better.
Application Techniques for a Flawless Look
- Foundation: Use e.l.f.’s Flawless Finish Foundation, which is available in a satin finish and buildable coverage. It can be applied with a damp beauty sponge to create an integrated appearance.
- Concealer: Hydrating Camo Concealer from e.l.f. is actually a great concealer for brightening up the area under the eyes or covering blemishes; this can be blended into the skin with a sponge or a brush for a more natural-looking effect.
- Set the Base: Use a light dusting of some e.l.f.’s Halo Glow Setting Powder to set your foundation and prevent shine from peaking out and spoiling things at any point during the rest of the day.
Improving Your Eyes
- Eyes are the major points of your make-up, and e.l.f. has many ways to achieve beautiful eye makeup.
- Eyeshadow: Begin with e.l.f’s Bite-Size Eyeshadow Palette. If you have a daytime wedding, soft, muted shades might do just what you need. For an evening wedding, bold, shimmery shades are a great choice.
- Eyeliner: Define your eyes with the e.l.f. No Budge Retractable Eyeliner. A fine pencil line along the lash line is subtle, while a stronger winged liner will give you more drama.
- Mascara: Finish with e.l.f.’s Lash It Loud Mascara for volume and definition with lashes that stay perfect all day. Perfecting Your Brows
Contour and Blush, Shape the Face
- Contour and blush will add depth and warmth to your face, so it appears sculpted and healthy to the eye.
- Contour: Use e.l.f.’s Cream Contour Palette to define cheekbones, jawline, and nose. It has to be blended well because harsh lines can be an aesthetically unpleasant look.
- Blush: Accentuate your cheeks with a pop of color by using e.l.f.’s primer-infused blush. A soft coral or rosy pink shade is a natural, flushed look that is always perfect for a wedding.
Setting Your Makeup for Longevity
- For it to last for the whole day and night, something important in the process of making up for a makeup look is setting.
- Setting Spray: e.l.f. Stay All Night Micro-Fine Setting Mist is able to hold and keeps the makeup looking fresh up to 16 hours.
- Powder Touch-up: Take with you an e.l.f. Prime & Stay Finishing Powder for all those touches when that shine does not flatter, particularly outdoors on an outdoor wedding.
Finishing Touch with Lip Color
- Lips are the finishing touches of your wedding guest, and the right shade will really drive the look home.
- Lip Liner: Start with the e.l.f. Lip Lock Pencil to ensure that the lipstick doesn’t feather out.
- Lipstick: Apply the satin e.l.f. lipstick in a shade you know complements the outfit you’ll be wearing and looks good on your skin. Select a long-lasting formula so you’re not having to reapply throughout the wedding.
- For an added shine, you might opt for the sheer to glossy finish of e.l.f.’s lip lacquer.
Touch-Up Tips for the Big Day
- Even if you have done all your makeup, it is always a good idea to carry along some essentials so that they can do last-minute touch-ups in the middle of the day.
- Blotting Papers: You will need to carry blotting papers along to control oil and keep your makeup matte.
- Lipstick: Carry your lipstick or lip gloss, especially after a meal.
- Powder: A compact powder can do quick touch-ups and keep your face shine-free in case you dance at weddings or attend an outdoor event.
