2. How to create your ideal wedding look

Whether you are doing Nigerian bridal makeup by yourself or plan to order services from a professional makeup artist, you still need valuable bridal makeup tips.

They will not only help you achieve your best look on your wedding day, but also become better at applying makeup and knowing what looks great on you. The most traditional Nigerian wedding makeup includes the following steps.

  1. Skin prep. During this step you need to prepare your face for putting on makeup and helping it last longer. First cleanse the skin, then apply moisturizer, wait for it to absorb, and use a high quality primer that will fill in the pores, smooth out the wrinkles, and help the foundation stay on.
  2. Skin tone. The most important aspect of any makeup look is the glowing, healthy, and radiant skin. Choose the makeup products according to your skin tone: for example, a foundation with a dewy finish is not a good choice for oily skin. Generally, you will need foundation and powder, as well as a concealer, blush, and highlighter.
  3. Eye makeup. The key with eye makeup is to not overdo it to avoid an unnatural look. You need to decide where your accent is going to be, and if you want to put emphasis on your lips, keep the eye makeup minimal. A simple eyeliner, creamy eye shadow, and mascara with an eyelash curler can become your perfect bridal look. However, if you want to create a more dramatic look, opt for fake eyelashes. Don’t forget to paint your eyebrows too!
  4. Lip makeup. There is going to be a lot of kissing, talking, eating and drinking on your wedding day, which is why your lip makeup should be durable.Use a lip scrub and lip balm for the smoothest lips, then apply lip primer, and then your lip product of choice. It can be a liquid matte lipstick, a regular satin lipstick, or a tinted lip gloss, although the last two options will need you to regularly refresh your makeup.
