Attending a wedding is always something fun to look forward to, but it can be so daunting when you suddenly realise you must pick an outfit and plan your makeup and hair! And after all, you need to look and feel good too!
As a wedding guest, you want to look your absolute best from the moment you arrive until the last dance. To help you achieve an Instagram-fit look, long-lasting makeup is a must, and we’ve done the hard work for you, so you just have to follow these steps to sublime wedding guest skincare and makeup!
Skincare: How to Achieve That Flawless Look
- Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Hydration is key to achieving a glowing complexion. In the days leading up to the wedding, make sure you drink plenty of water. This will help keep your skin plump and radiant. Nutrition helps too, so you can avoid any breakouts or water retention.
- Exfoliate for Smooth Skin
Exfoliating your skin a few days before the event can help remove dead skin cells and create a smooth canvas for your makeup. Opt for a gentle exfoliator to avoid irritation. Don’t try new skincare products now in case of an unfortunate reaction!
- Moisturize and Prime
On the day of the wedding, start with a hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin supple. Follow up with a primer to ensure your makeup stays in place all day and night. Let each step settle into your skin for at least 1 min in between layers.
- Eye Care
Bright eyes are a must. Use an eye cream to reduce puffiness and dark circles. Any caffeine derived ingredients are a bonus! Or at least a heavy moisturising eye cream. Eye patches can be a perfect pre-party boost.
Makeup: Key Tips for Picture Perfect Beauty
- Flawless Foundation
Choosing the right foundation is crucial. You want something that provides coverage but still looks natural. Always opt for buildable coverage with a dewy finish, perfect for a wedding guest look. For a guaranteed flawless finish, use our Qudos Face Synergy Puffs. Tap away and blend to perfection with a damp Puff for all liquid formulas in your makeup routine. Allow each layer to settled into the skin and tap away!
- Conceal and Highlight
Use a high-quality concealer to cover any blemishes or under-eye circles. Then, highlight the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bones, inner eye corners, and the bridge and tip of your nose, using a highlighter for a subtle, radiant finish. Blending the concealer well is crucial, so you don't end up with creases under your eyes! How? The Qudos Puff, damp and ready to only use the minimum amount of product, so you end up with a 'filter like' effect rather than the 'cracked icing' on the cake! Leave that to the Chef and focus on your smooth and bright under-eye makeup!
- Blush and Bronze
Add a healthy flush of color to your cheeks with either cream or powder formulas, to lightly contour cheekbones, temples, nose in order to add definition to your face. These steps will give you a natural, sun-kissed look that’s perfect for any wedding setting. For long-lasting professional standard makeup finish, with both creams, and powders ... you guessed! The Qudos Puffs are guaranteed to give you the 'glow' look you need. Just tap away!
- Eye Makeup: Keep it Elegant
For your eyes, opt for a soft, romantic look. Choose neutral eye shadow tones, perfect for creating a subtle yet captivating eye look. Frame the neutrals with the Qudos I Line You Eyeliner Pen for a defined eye makeup look that lasts all day. And to finish it off, make your eyes stand out with our Qudos I Wand You Mascara - long-lasting, smudge proof guaranteed 12 hours of lashes that get people talking!
- Lip Color: Glossy and Summery
Finish off your look with a long-lasting, hydrating lipstick topped with a sheer lip gloss throughout the day. Start with a neutral toned lip contour to create definition, apply a natural lipstick tone and finish it off with a shimmery lip gloss, which can be topped up throughout the day for the ultimate summer goddess look.
Final Touches: Setting and Refreshing
To ensure your makeup stays flawless throughout the event, use a setting spray. Tap this into the skin with the Qudos Puff to ensure even, seamless blend, that flawless finish you’ve been dreaming about!
Enjoy the Party!
