Destination Wedding Makeup

You're engaged! Now the planning begins, and whether you get married locally, back home or abroad for a destination wedding, you need to budget for a makeup artist to make sure your wedding photos look amazing.

Your regular makeup routine won't cut it and only a professional can give you camera-ready makeup. Here is an article I wrote for Destinations Travel Magazine regarding destination wedding makeup, and why you need to hire a professional on such an epic day.

Falls MUST Haves

I am not particularly a fan of fall/winter because I adore heat, sunshine and summer clothes more, but the products we get to use sometimes during the chillier months do have its perks. This fall while your body is all bundled up (and probably your head too), let your gorgeous face peek through, and remind everyone that spring is only 6 months away.
 
This season you should incorporate coral, pink or berry colored glosses/lipsticks into your look. Pink blush is also flattering on everyone, shimmer or dewy skin (think J-Lo, she rocks it) looks fresh, and really subtle eye makeup. Nothing too busy. Matte anything right now (lipstick, eye shadow, face) can look harsh, so aim for "fresh". Using a tinted moisturizer is great to keep the cold wind and hot heaters from making your skin look dehydrated.
 
Flipping through fashion magazines is a great way to be inspired not only for fashion, but what's trending now in makeup as well. If you are not a follow-the-masses kind of girl, I still recommend that spring and fall require a makeup change, especially in your skin-care regiment, so you can benefit from the seasons changing and always look your best year round.
