Brides in all ethnicities want to look beautiful while respecting tradition - yet keeping up with the times.Even skin tone is a must and foundation must match. Black, Indian and Mediterranean skin look best with a warm rather than ashy undertone foundation. Asians desire natural skin colour contrary to beliefs they prefer pale versions of themselves. And the Scandinavian, British and cooler countries need to neutralize the undertone in their pale to ruddy complexions.
A great warm-red lipstick is perfect for the Chinese Tea Ceremony dress. Traditional Indian can be complimented with rich blue-reds. And the traditional white dress is works best with a lip colour that harmonizes the attendants’ dresses and flowers.
Tips:
Avoid bright lipstick on pale complexions.
Eyes in any ethnicity are the focus. The darker the skin tone and intense the brows and lashes, the more attention should be placed on shaping the hair than excess product.
Only black skin and hair warrants black eyeliner. And darkest brown is better than black for an elegant look. A matte finish is also more refined. Its about the bride’s charm, not her makeup - in any language.
Avoid an unnatural crease with Asian eyes - it draws attention to the makeup rather than the natural beauty of their eye shape.
Clear mascara is great to keep eyebrows held in place - apply up and outward and hold down for 10 seconds to lock in place.
Whatever the ethnicity, unless a bride has amazingly thick lashes, false ones properly trimmed and specific to her face and eye shape, is the best way to achieve intensity for the camera and stage without looking overdone up close.
Natural, elegant looks stand the test of time and wedding pictures look great for a lifetime.
