To keep your face in fabulous shape for your wedding, whether you have oily or dry skin, take a few fresh tips from makeup pro Keri Berman:
“For dry skin, it’s important that you use a good, hydrating moisturizer primer, which goes underneath the foundation,” says Berman. “The key to dry skin is prior—drink lots of water the week before your wedding.”
Berman downplays doing anything during the actual reception. “If you have dry skin and start to sweat, don’t use powder. Simply wipe the sweat away, and reapply the foundation. More powder will just dry you out more.”
For oily-skinned brides, Berman suggests very little moisturizer, and a tiny bit of foundation. “You don’t want it to look heavy, and you don’t want it to get in the T-zone, the area from your eyes down to your nose.” Berman says you can use powder to keep your face dry, but adds that you need to make sure you don’t overdo it.
“Powder is great at the beginning,” she says. “But hours and hours of doing that is hard. After the first couple of times, use blotting paper. It will remove the oils from your face, and you can get it anywhere.”
For every bride, the most important tip is to keep things in perspective, and not to panic. “If your makeup looks bad, reapply when you have a few minutes,” says Berman. “And don’t sweat it.”
