Too Warm or Too Cold?

Planning your DIY makeup for destination wedding? Here are some tips that we should look out for when doing our makeup.

Glowing Skin
Redness, flake, dryness...dry winter air does no favors to a winter bride's complexion. The key to getting ahead of harsh winter temperatures is prevention. Rather than waiting the day of the wedding to combat dry patches with lotion, start exfoliating and moisturizing at least a month beforehand. Use a hydrating primer and invest on a good moisturizer. This will leave the skin looking smooth and allow for easy makeup application. Same goes to warmer climate, brides should consider oil free foundation and water proof makeup to avoid smudging.

Choose the Right Foundation
Your summer foundation is yesterday’s news. Brides should switch up their base during the colder months. Unless the bride has unusually oily skin, matte foundations can actually accentuate fine lines and make winter skin look dull. However a silicone-based foundation, while too shiny in the summer, may be a perfect solution in the colder months.

Moisture Lips
Chapped lips are among the biggest beauty problems for winter brides. (Who wants her first wedded kiss to feel like sandpaper?) Keep lips moistured using lip balm before the wedding, it's smart to nourish the lips before applying makeup on the big day.

Watch Out Your Liquor Consumption
Before the wedding, resist the urge to overindulge on alcohol with friends and family and drink more water instead. In addition to creating hangover, liquor can mute your blushing-bride glow.  Alcohol consumption could worsen your complexion, and since it's super-dehydrating, a bad idea for a winter bride.
