Summer Beauty Picks To Keep You Fresh-Faced And Flawless On Your Wedding Day

imageSummer weddings are beautiful, with the blue skies, lush greens and thriving flowers. The outdoors are alive– what a perfect setting to dedicate yourself to your life-long love! Embrace the season and play up summer’s zest with a beauty regimen that will put you in steep competition with the ravishing landscape. There are, however, some things to caution with such a fruitful time of year, like the heat that can turn a bride from stunning to sweltering. Oil-free foundations are a must, as are formulas that are light and airy to let your pores breathe. However, sometimes light and airy is synonymous with flaky, non-lasting makeup, so you’ll need some of these dependable picks to last you on your ceremony of a lifetime. In the heat of the moment, you’ll need a moisturizer first to start off fresh (oil-free of course), followed by a primer to make everything stay all day. A summer wedding is code for flawless skin, so you’ll want to play up your skin tone with the some sunshine accents. More importantly, you’ll want to brighten up without upstaging your skin with too much color splashing other areas of your face. While you’ll want shimmer and bronzer to brighten your base, you won’t want to get too bold with autumnal plums or merry reds sprinkled on your eyes and lips. For your eyes, soft summer colors will certainly be staple items in your makeup bag: you’ll use those to match your wedding theme’s color composition. Don’t let the lips overdo the statement your skin is making either by choosing a natural, more matte look that will make your lips a kissably-soft surprise for the leading man. Any color like Stila’s Long Wear Lip Color in Darling (Golden Champagne) would be a perfect fit. If you must be bold with color, choose a nail color with some botanical bite. When it’s all said and done, the beauty picks in this slideshow will make you an amazing summer queen!
