Wedding News > Considerations for wedding make-up and beauty

2 June 2008

Wedding make-up practices can differ considerably from normal make-up application due to a number of factors that are common to many weddings. Some styles of wedding favour a simple look, such as casual beach weddings, but for more elaborate affairs it is advisable to ensure that you hire a wedding make-up specialist.

If there are going to be parts of your ceremony or reception in which you or your bridesmaids will be under a spotlight or other strong lighting, you will need make-up more appropriate to stage performance than everyday beauty. The same goes for the product you use for your hair style, as the heat of strong lighting can sometimes affect this. Actors wear heavier make-up due to the fact that lighting will otherwise make their faces look washed out. A performance level of make-up would not be appropriate for a wedding, either, which is why a wedding make-up professional is merited to ensure you are appropriately made-up for your big day.
