TIPS FOR APPLYING MAKE-UP FOR WEDDINGS AND PORTRAITS:
1. Fix your face as if you were going out for the evening, rather than daytime make-up.
2. Use extra contrast and more powder to achieve a more finished appearance.
3. Always moisturize and apply concealer to hide blemishes, lighten your eyes and take care of any discoloration on the face.
4. Use a solid foundation that is applied evenly on the face and blends in with your neckline to avoid a sudden change of color from the face to the chest.
5. Finally, apply the rest of your make-up as you normally would, but in heavier amounts for the camera.
6. Apply lip liner and lip color about one shade deeper than you normally wear.
7. Utilize eye shadows that are lighter rather than darker so the eyes look more alive.
8. DON'T FORGET TO USE POWDER, POWDER, POWDER!!!!
