Step by Step

Step 1

Preparing your skin

Choose the right skincare products to get your skin ready for your big day! Apply Oxyvital Hydra Mousse to specific parts of your face, then massage it in gently. This product refreshes and moisturizes your skin while making your complexion look rested. Hyaluronic Intensive Eye Gel eliminates lines, wrinkles, and imperfections around your eyes, reducing signs of fatigue.

Step 2

Fixing spray for long-lasting bridal make-up

There are many reasons to go for a primer on the most important day of your life. It increases the staying power of your makeup (perfect until the very end), and your skin looks even and flawless, as fine lines and pores are visibly reduced (important for photos).

Close your eyes and spray two pumps of the Fixing Spray, holding the bottle 30 cm away from your face.

Step 3

Perfecting your complexion

When choosing foundation, make sure it is opaque with a natural finish. Our recommendation: Fluid Camouflage Foundation. This product conceals imperfections to provide a long-lasting, even complexion without looking like makeup. You therefore won't have to worry about blushing.

Apply the foundation of your choice with a makeup brush over your entire face, from the middle to the edges.

Step 4

Make skin blemishes disappear

Pesky imperfections are no match for concealer. Liquid concealer even covers up fine lines. Choose a yellow color tone for dark eye circles, a peach tone to create a fresh and balanced look, and olive colors to reduce any redness.

Apply concealer around your eyes, around your nostrils, to the corners of your mouth, and below your lower lip. Blend using your finger or a special concealer brush. Here we show you how to achieve the maximum effect with just a little concealer.

Don't give shine a chance

Hoping to have a flawless complexion for your entire wedding day? Our transparent No Color Fixing Powder is suitable for all skin tones. Harmonious and long-lasting, this makeup provides for an incredibly natural-looking radiance with a gorgeous matte finish.

Apply the powder to your puff, then work it all over your face.

Step 6

Bronzer brings warmth to your bridal makeup

A bronzing powder, which usually has an orange or yellow/gold undertone, lets you add warmth to your complexion while gently sculpting the features of your face. Simply apply the powder to the highest point of your cheekbones and the side of your forehead, then blend it in upwards.

Radiant cheeks

Create makeup highlights for your special day. For brides in search of a natural glow, nothing beats blusher.

In our blusher makeup tip, we'll show you how to apply blusher correctly and help you choose the right blusher for your skin.

Step 8

Shaping your brows like a pro

Eyebrows have a face-framing effect. Make your look stand out even more by shaping them according to your face shape.

Depending on your eyebrow type, choose between an eyebrow pencil, eyebrow powder, or eyebrow cream. Our eyebrow makeup tips will help get you started.

Step 9

Letting your eyes shine

Just a thin line creates an intense and stunning look. For a more subtle look, go for a smudged line in natural colors. We recommend using a soft kajal, as liquid eyeliner can’t be blended.

Apply the kajal to your upper lash line. Blend it using an eyeshadow brush directly after application. Accentuate the last third of your lower lash line, blending it out.

Step 10

For moments of beauty

An eyeshadow base will help you ensure that your eye makeup lasts all day long and everything stays perfectly in place. Highlight your eyes with these three eyeshadows:

  1. Emphasize the outer corners of your eyes and your lower lash lines with a natural brown shade. Use the same eyeshadow to lightly define your natural crease, then blend it in.
  2. Apply a shimmering eyeshadow - preferably in an elegant champagne shade - to your entire movable eyelid.
  3. Highlight the inner corners of your eyes and under the highest point of your brows with a bright & shimmering eyeshadow.

Withstanding tears of joy

Emotional moments are in abundance at a wedding! So protect yourself from unwanted panda eyes and use a waterproof mascara. This ensures your lashes will stay smudge-proof, waterproof, and tear-proof. Plus, waterproof mascara gives you extra volume and perfect durability.

Let's kiss

The first kiss as a married couple is a special moment. To keep your lipstick in place, our best tip is to set it.

After applying your lipstick, apply Magic Fix to your lips and the contours of your lips using the applicator. Now let’s kiss!

NAIL POLISHES FOR THE BRIDE

Wafer-thin shades are classics for glamorous bridal nails. Discreet nude, beige, rosé, pastel pink, or apricot look particularly beautiful as nail polish for the wedding.
