Skincare: The Foundations of a Flawless Look
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Hydration is key to achieving a glowing complexion. In the days leading up to the wedding, make sure you drink plenty of water. This will help keep your skin plump and radiant.
2. Exfoliate for Smooth Skin
Exfoliating your skin a few days before the event can help remove dead skin cells and create a smooth canvas for your makeup. Opt for a gentle exfoliator to avoid irritation. Our 360 Exfoliating Cleanser from Obagi is perfect for this—infused with natural ingredients to give you a radiant glow without the harshness.
3. Moisturize and Prime
On the day of the wedding, start with a hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin supple. You can't go wrong with the Total Moisture Daily Face Cream from Medik8. Follow up with a primer to ensure your makeup stays in place all day and night.
4. Eye Care
Bright eyes are a must. Use an eye cream to reduce puffiness and dark circles. Our Neostrata Brightening Eye Cream works wonders to brighten and tighten the delicate skin around your eyes, ensuring you look fresh.
Makeup: Key Tips for Picture Perfect Beauty
1. Flawless Foundation
Choosing the right foundation is crucial. You want something that provides coverage but still looks natural. Always opt for buildable coverage with a dewy finish, perfect for a wedding guest look. For a guaranteed flawless finish, use our Qudos Face Synergy Puffs. Tap away and blend to perfection with a damp Puff for all liquid formulas in your makeup routine.
2. Conceal and Highlight
Use a high-quality concealer to cover any blemishes or under-eye circles. Then, highlight the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bones, inner eye corners, and the bridge of your nose, using a highlighter for a subtle, radiant finish. Blending the concealer well is crucial so you don't end up with creases under your eyes! How? The Qudos Puff, damp and ready to only use the minimum amount of product, so you end up with a 'filter like' effect rather than 'cracked icing' on the cake!
3. Blush and Bronze
Add a healthy flush of color to your cheeks with both, or either cream or powder formulas, and lightly contour cheekbones, temples, nose to add dimension to your face. These steps will give you a natural, sun-kissed look that’s perfect for any wedding setting. For long-lasting professional standard makeup setting, with both creams, and powders ... you guessed! The Qudos Puffs are guaranteed to give you the 'glow' look you need.
4. Eye Makeup: Keep it Elegant
For your eyes, opt for a soft, romantic look. Choose neutral eyeshadow tones, perfect for creating a subtle yet captivating eye look. Frame the neutrals with the Qudos I LIne You Eyeliner Pen for a defined eye makeup look that lasts all day. And to finish it off, make your eyes stand out with our Qudos I Wand You Mascara long-lasting, smudge proof guaranteed 12 hours lushest lashes.
5. Lip Color: Glossy and Summery
Finish off your look with a long-lasting, hydrating lipstick topped with a sheer lip gloss throughout the day. Start with a neutral toned lip contour to create definition, apply a natural lipstick tone and finish it off with a shimmery lip gloss, which can be topped up throughout the day for the ultimate summer goddess look.
Final Touches: Setting and Refreshing
To ensure your makeup stays flawless throughout the event, use a setting spray. An All-Day Setting Mist will keep your makeup in place while giving your skin a healthy glow. Tap this into the skin with the Qudos Puff to ensure even, flawless finish.
