Makeup Tips for a Beach Wedding in Kauai, Hawaii
From foundation to lipstick and everything in between, you’ll look picture perfect when you follow these makeup tips for your beach wedding in Hawaii.
The Basics of Beach Wedding Makeup
There are a few basics to follow when it comes to applying beach wedding makeup:
- Always apply sunscreen. You will be in the sun all day on a tropical island and the last thing you want to have at the end of the night is a scarlet sunburn.
- Choose a tinted moisturizer or lightweight foundation for a clean and glowing face.
- Use waterproof mascara and eyeliner. You’ll be crying and sweating and you don’t want to get black smudges or smears down your face.
- Have blotting paper handy to freshen your face throughout the day.
Primer and Setting Spray
If you want your makeup to stay in place all day you must start with a makeup primer. This acts as a base for your foundation and allows your makeup to go on smoother and last longer.
After your makeup is fully applied, spray a fine mist of makeup setting spray all over your face to keep your makeup from wiping off or fading during the day.
Your Beautiful, Natural Self
Whether you hire a professional makeup artist or do it yourself, be sure your makeup isn’t overdone. Very dark eye makeup and cakey foundation look unnatural on the beach and in photos. When your makeup looks more natural, you’ll be at your most beautiful.
