The most important thing to remember when wearing makeup is
you need to feel comfortable in what you are wearing, looking
like yourself. It is really important to match a foundation to
your skin exactly. Most Asians have yellow-toned skin and
therefore need to look for a foundation to match. Most lines are
now offering warmer foundation choices as 90% of the population
in general has a yellow-based skintone. If you have access to
lines like Bobbi Brown, Lorac
, MAC, Stila, and Nars
, to name a
few, I would suggest starting there. They each offer a variety
of foundations that would be suitable for you. You also need to
take into consideration your type of skin - oily, dry, etc. If
you are on the oily side or the wedding will take place during
hot and humid weather, definitely stick to an oil-free
foundation. This will require fewer touchups.
Now, onto color choices. The best color choices for weddings are
more on the neutral side. I would suggest sticking with
brown-based eyeshadows, blushes and lipsticks. This doesn’t
mean you can’t wear color, but you want the color to be neutral.
Some of my favorite MAC eyeshadow suggestions would be Shroom as
a base color, Haux and Symmetry in the crease or outer corner of
the eye, and Strada Blush. This is a great wedding look for
almost any color of clothing you are wearing. Also Twig, Lame,
or Spirit lipsticks topped off with a gloss for lips. You can
definitely use shimmer, but not too much. Stila eyeshadows like
Kitten or Wheat as a base, and Eden Heath or Mood on outer
corner would also be pretty. You really do have so many options!
Also check out Bobbi Brown Bone, Taupe, Banana, Toast and Stone
shadows. Actually, all of her shadows and lipsticks are perfect
for weddings, as they are all brown based and work well on
warmer skintones.
Go have your makeup done by a few artists beforehand to help
with your look. And remember to have fun. Good luck!
