Ways to look ‘Picture Perfect’
Plan ahead to look “picture perfect”. Here’s a list of tips and suggestions that will save you time, and keep your looking your best for your wedding photographs:
For your formal studio portrait, be sure to bring everything you’ll wear on your wedding day to the studio — the same undergarments, accessories, jewelry, shoes, gloves, etc. You’ll have the opportunity to correct any fitting problems before your wedding day.
Your hairstyle should compliment your wedding gown and headpiece. Avoid extreme hairstyles that draw attention away from your face and date your portrait. Your hairstylist can give you suggestions that will highlight your features.
Your makeup should appear natural. Use a liquid foundation as close as possible to your own skin color. A light brush over with translucent powder will help tone down shiny areas of your face. A little blush and a medium shade of lipstick will add a spark of color without making you look over-made-up. A bit of lip-gloss can also add highlights. Correct eye makeup is a must for portraits. Eyes without makeup can lose impact. Use mascara on your upper and lower lashes. Be careful not to use too much eyeshadow. Make your self up several times until you achieve the natural look you want. You may want to consult with an area beauty expert who can help you choose makeup that will be the most flattering on film.
Get a good night’s sleep and be rested for your wedding day. No amount of makeup will substitute for plenty of rest. You’ll look and feel relaxed and that will show up in your photographs, too.
