Facial bridal makeup is incomplete without bringing sparkle to the eyes. I would advice that the eyes should be the first to be madeup before other parts of the face, they dictate the mood & the function.
It's the dream of every bride to look beautiful & natural in the Ivory/cream gown & therefore eyeshadow colors should be carefully chosen among the neutral shades.
Following are tips to consider when choosing/,applying bridal eyeshadows:
1. For makeup application, three terms are used: Highlight - the lightest color shade. Midtone - the next darkest shade. Accent - the darkest color.
2. Highlight: This is the space directly underneath the eyebrow, it's the eyebrow bone ( a well shapened eyebrow will reveal this easily). Apply the lightest color among the neutral shades.
3. Midtone : This is the crease, space between the eyebrow and the accent. Line the crease with the midtone shade that is slighty daker than the highlighter, examples are light bronze & copper colors.
4. Accent: This is the area directly above the eyelashes. Tha Accent shade to be used here should be the darkest of the three eyeshadow colors. Examples are dark bronze, copper & gold.
5. To add more sparkle to the eyes, black eyeshadow can be used in place of black eye pencil to line the upper & lower lashes. The ideal brush for this eyeshadow is the "angle brush" which is thin & follows through the shape of the eye with ease.
