Bay Area Bridal Makeup: Tips for Choosing the Perfect Look

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and you want to look and feel your absolute best. When it comes to your makeup, you want a look that is both timeless and elegant, and that will flatter your features and make you feel confident.


Here are a few tips for choosing the perfect bridal makeup look for your Bay Area wedding.

Consider your wedding style



Is your wedding formal or informal? Traditional or modern? Your makeup should complement your overall wedding style.


Think about your skin type and coloring


If you have dry skin, you'll want to choose a foundation that is hydrating and won't accentuate flakes. If you have oily skin, you'll want to choose a foundation that is mattifying and will help to control shine. And, of course, you'll want to choose a foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly.


Think about your features


Do you want to play up your eyes or your lips? Do you want to make your face look slimmer or more defined? A skilled makeup artist can help you choose techniques and products that will flatter your features.

Schedule a trial run


Before your wedding day, it's important to schedule a trial run with your makeup artist. This will give you a chance to experiment with different looks and make sure that you're happy with the final result.


On your wedding day, you want to look and feel like the most beautiful version of yourself. By following these tips, you can choose the perfect bridal makeup look for your Bay Area wedding.
