When it comes to a blockbuster event such as a wedding or party, having the right makeup tips can lead to a seamless application. A skilled makeup artist knows that in order to please a client on their wedding day, you have to be knowledgeable about the best tips and tricks to make a makeup application really pop and for the client to shine.

Here is a quick tutorial on how to bring the glam, whether it’s for bridal makeup or special event makeup:

Catch the Light Using Contours


One of the best-kept secrets of nearly every big-name makeup artist is the art of contouring. Proper contouring is the difference between an amateur job and a professional job. The way makeup appears on the skin is all about how the light reflects the colors. By applying a series of contours on areas such as the cheeks and down the bridge of the nose, the results can be striking. All you need is a product such as a highlighting foundation marker or translucent powder. The next step is to then highlight target areas. Finally, conceal the white lines with regularly-colored foundation and blush.

Top Lashes are Easy to Achieve


One of the most striking features on any woman are her eyes. Playing up the eyes puts you on the fast track to glam city. Its simpler than you think to create a cat-eyed or doe-eyed look. Start by lining the top lid only with a generous coat of liquid eyeliner. Then using either black mascara or false lashes, thicken the top lash line. This look is so dramatic that you can leave the lower lash line bare.

Tips for Lips


One key element of bridal makeup is lips. A full lip starts with a good lip liner. Select a natural lip shade and line the entire perimeter of the lips. Blend it to the skin so that it looks seamless. Then apply a radiant shade of matte lipstick in whatever shade you or your client love. The final step is to dab ultra-iridescent lip gloss in the center of the lip only. This is the quickest tutorial that will make lips look instantly larger.
