Wedding day make-up advice?

I'm getting married at the end of June and want to do my own makeup. I have super oily skin and am looking for a make-up products that can cut-down on the oiliness and the shine. Any advice?





I recently bought Smashbox Photofinish Light Foundation Primer and it works pretty good so far. Not completely shine/oil free throughout the day, but it definitely cut it down a lot. I've heard good things about Makeup Forever's HD foundation, so I was thinking of going to Sephora and seeing that the Reps say.Wedding day make-up advice?

On your wedding day, you should not have to worry about it.


It's one of the most important days of your life.


Go to salon and get your hair and make up done.


Plus with all the photo's being taken that day, a good beautician will be able to give you a photo perfect look.
i would to be honest go and get your make up done i am self teaching my self makeup artistry and makeup airbrushing and also going to los angeles to do a makeup artistry/special effects makeup course and what i have learnt so far is that if you want something that will look flawless, and that cuts down the oily and shiny look i would honestly go with the airbrush makeup, go to a salon or if you know of someone who knows how to do airbrush makeup then i would go that way its light and very flawless you will get the celebrity look i use the temptu airbrush foundation or the HD foundation which is perfect, if you are in melbourne aus or not far from there if you need some advice or want me to trail some makeup on you let me know and i can come and give you an airbrush makeup for a free trail, good luck with it all...........
Im assuming its going to be warm wherever you live in June.


Youre going to want something light.


You could try a mineral set- like one of the other answers reccomended i think she said everyday minerals. I have never tried it but minerals are usually light and look natural so you wont need to apply powder every hour cause your skin looks oily. I have tried Bare escentuals/bare minerals- i didnt really like it.





Try using a toner/astringent to cut down on the oilyness. Make changes to your diet that can improve your oily skin- obviously nothing will change your skin totally. Drink plenty of water. Obviously dont overwash your face or over exfoliate this will make the problem worse. Get Down clay mask by Origins will control the oil. Matte Scientist is an Oil Controlling Lotion also by Origins is a moisturizer that will help with your oily skin. Try and keep your hair off your face on your wedding day.





A mattifying primer will help your face not look shiny. I believe Sephora brand has one called mattifying primer. Although Smashbox is great. Zero Oil Instant Matte Finish by Origins is a great product. It doesnt dry out your skin. Its about 12 dollars for a little over half an ounce.





I dont know how much coverage you need i.e if you have acne or acne scars. if you do have blemishes try seeing a dermatologist to see what you can do about it before your wedding, honestly it does make a difference.





I think clinique is a great brand for those with skin issues. Its dedicated to sensitive skin. Its fairly light.





Get a good sponge- The beauty blender is spoken of highly. Dont use your fingers it will make your skin oilier.


Avoid makeup with petroleum or oil from petroleum. Stick to oil free makeup. Also avoid products with alcohol- this will aggrivate your skin and force your skin to get oilier.





Ingredients to look for in makeup: Titanium Dioxide is a sun protector. Kaolin Clay is good to control oil. Zinc Oxide is an anti inflammatory.


Get some blotting papers. ELF has a pack and they are only 1 dollar. Wait for your makeup to set before going on to the next thing. Be aware that some make up takes longer (i.e when i use maybelline dream matte mousse- btw, its great for oily skin but might be a bit too heavy for the summer, once again that depends on the humidity and temp where you live- it takes 45 mins to set before i put powder on)





I dont really ask the sephora workers for advice when it comes to something really important like my foundation. Youre better off going to a department store where the people are actually makeup artists and usually have more one on one. But then again that depends on your sephora- where i live the stores are huge, lots of people in and out, tourists- you get the idea. If you live in a smaller town or by a less busy Sephora then they might be of help. You should ask them to apply the makeup for you. Its free but you should buy products.








I use Benefit Bluff Dust powder. It keeps my skin shine free all day (my skin is normal, so it will probably last you several hours) It also neutralizes redness. Its a loose powder so be warned that its not the easiest product to deal with for touch ups.








You can get Origins products at Origins stores or Macys. Clinique and benefit are availible at macys as well as sephora. any other product mentioned is availible at sephora. maybelline and ELF are at drugstores.
