Oily skin and long wedding functions do not have to be a problem. Here is how bridal makeup for oily skin is planned.
Many brides worry that their makeup will look shiny or move by the afternoon. With the right preparation and products, oily skin can look fresh through a long wedding day.
Prep matters most
A good base starts with skin prep. Your artist will cleanse the skin and use a suitable primer for oily or combination skin. Heavy creams just before makeup can make the base slide, so ask your artist what to use that morning.
Choose the right finish
Lightweight, long-wear formulas and a thin layer of product usually work better than a heavy, thick base. Airbrush is often liked for its light feel on the skin, and a trial helps you compare it with HD on your own skin.
Set smartly
Your artist will set the areas that get shiny, such as the forehead, nose and chin, and use a setting spray to help the look last through photographs and functions.
Keep a small touch-up kit
- Blotting papers
- Compact or loose powder in your shade
- Your lip colour
Tell us your skin type when you enquire, so we can plan your trial around it.
