Ladies please help..wedding make up, what looks best for photos?

Hi, Im getting my make up professionally done for my wedding, but I the girl at the salon asked me what do I want it to look like, Im really clueless because I dont know what colors look good on my skin, or if I should match my flowers or my dress..my hair..or the venue..or what type of make up would look better on pictures..





I have light olive skin, light brown hair(with few highlights), small hazel eyes, I dont know if my dress would be ivory or White, (not sure what looks better on my skin)

On that special wedding day, every bride wants to look her very best and be at her most beautiful, but presenting your best face can be a little daunting. How do you make sure your wedding makeup stays on all day, looking flawless in your wedding photos, and manage to make you feel like a model, but still look like you?





1. A lot of time and detail went into choosing your dress, ring, flowers, and even your hairstyle. Don't let your makeup take a backseat. Take the time to go through magazines and pull out makeup styles that you really like, even tear out the ones you really hate. It could be how a certain feature is played up, or that great lipstick color, or how the skin glows, or even how they used way too much eyeliner. All this is easy to say and show to a makeup artist, like me, with pictures. It helps tremendously to show your desires by pictures rather than endlessly describing it. This helps me immensely in seeing what you like and don't like. Remember, our mental ideas of pink lipstick could be completely different. There is a lot of truth in the adage that says ';a picture is worth a thousand words';. It really gives a lot more information with a visual sense.





2. To save some wear and tear on your nerves on that big day, by all means, schedule a consultation, or even better, a complete makeup application before the big day with your makeup artist. Plan it for the rehearsal dinner, or a special evening out alone with your groom, or a get together with all the bridesmaids. Don't overlook this very important step because this way you can see if you like your makeup artist's style.





Things to bring to your consultation appointment:





*Tear sheets from magazines, of makeup you like and don't like.





*A picture of your wedding dress (a Polaroid will do). This gives the artist a great idea of the style of the dress and the wedding. Is it romantic? Dramatic? Elegant? This gives an idea of your style.





*The shade of lipstick that you1d like to wear. If I don't have it, using yours is no problem. This is also a great test to see how long your lipstick will last during the evening.





*Your favorite waterproof mascara. I highly recommend using your tried and true mascara, and yes, waterproof. You just might be shedding tears of joy. If it's your brand, you do not have to worry about watery eyes, redness, allergies, etc.





Remember, your makeup run-through is the time to play, try different ideas, colors, etc. Don't be afraid to say you don't like something. Makeup is easy to take off and reapply. Once you have your look down, make sure the makeup artist writes everything out, and notes makeup items you may not have that you'll needing for that day. And don't forget, if your makeup rehearsal is set for a romantic dinner with your groom, have the makeup artist change the lipstick or eye makeup a little so your groom can't tell you are wearing the same thing for your wedding day. We wouldn't want him seeing the same look twice.

do what looks natural because you don't want to date your pictures make your eye makeup a little darker so you can see it in the pictures, also don't use makeup with sunscreen for your big day because the flash from the cameras will make your skin look really really white like ghostly white. that's all I got congrats and remember to take it all in it goes by so fast. take care.
She's not asking you to choose colours, she's just looking for direction as to whether you want to look natural or more heavily made-up. Do you tend to wear a lot of make up? If so you can go a bit bolder, but if you rarely use anything you'll want a more natural look so that you still look like you.





With olive skin you could do either ivory or white - see what you feel happiest in.
That's odd that the makeup artist was asking you. She should have been giving you information if she's any good. She might have asked you something like, ';Do you want a soft look, glamour, or something in between?'; For starters, if she was asking me this and not providing any tips, I would find a new makeup artist. They should know what they're doing and not rely on you to find out what looks good on your skin.
You'd look great in white or ivory! My cousin has light olive skin too and she wore white (sadly she chose a total meringue but never mind! lol!) and it suited her skin tone.





The best thing for make-up would be to go for a light, natural look with maybe a little eye-liner to highlight your eyes for photo's. If you don't know what colours to go for maybe get a consultation with a make-up artist or see if the girls on the make-up counters in stores can help you choose colours that suit.





All the best.
Her job is to make sure you look good, she should be able to suggest colors. When you go for your trial, tell her you have no clue and to show you some different looks - dramatic, natural, evening, etc. Any good makeup artist will know what will look best on your face with your skin, hair, eyes, etc.





Good luck!
She is the professional and should be able to tell from looking at you what colors look best on you.





Honestly, you can't tell anything from a description.
Match your own colouring, keep it natural, in neutrals.
