The Groom Can Wear A LIttle Makeup Too! | Mens Grooming

 Makeup is not just for the bride and her bridal party anymore, men you can look polished too with a little grooming!

I know what you are thinking, why would I need makeup? I’m a guy.  Well believe it or not men are showing more interest in their appearance and look.  Your wedding day is a big deal! And men want to look just as fabulous in their photos as much as the bride does.  Certainly men you wouldn’t wear half of the amount of makeup that the bride and bridal party would wear, after all we are not aiming for the drag queen look we simple just want you to look a little more fresh.

Here are a few techniques I use when working with the groom and his grooms men to give them a more polished and completed look.

Five Wedding Makeup Tips

While some brides-to-be hire a professional makeup artist to make them look absolutely stunning for their big day, other brides would much rather do their own makeup. I have been a professional makeup artist for a few years now  and have picked up a couple tricks along the way. Here are my top five tips you need to consider before purchasing makeup for your wedding day.

1) Your Skin Type
 Knowing your skin type is very important when choosing a base for your face. This will determine how well the foundation will perform, last and look. So if your skin is dry, oily or a combination of both, you want to choose something that will help to alleviate those issues.  For dry skin use oil based liquid or cream foundation to hydrate the skin why keeping the dryness at bay. For oilier skin, use a water based liquid foundation, cream to powder or  pressed/loose powder foundation.
