Why should you create a wedding hair and makeup mood board? Selecting the perfect bridal look can be quite a task for many brides-to-be. With so many options available, deciding on the perfect hairstyle and makeup can be a daunting task. However, with a little bit of planning and some helpful tips, you can find the perfect bridal hair and make-up look for your destination wedding in the Cancun area.
We recommend creating and sharing a wedding hair and makeup mood board with your professional hair and makeup artist. This will help your beauty team get to know you better. When meeting, have a collection of photos that visually represent your desired look making communication even easier. But first, you should consider a few things:
Consider the time of day
When deciding on the intensity of your bridal makeup to ensure it looks perfect in real life and in pictures, you’ll need to find the perfect balance with lighting.
The scenario isn’t the same for a sunrise ceremony, where the morning light is brighter, as it is for a late afternoon wedding ceremony.
In the first scenario, we recommend opting for a lighter makeup style. For example, you can experiment with individual lashes and a subtle blush to achieve a soft glam look… whereas a more glamorous contour, eyeliner, or a bolder lip may be ideal for later in the day…
If you plan a long day, you might also want to consider booking a touch-up package with your wedding hair and makeup artist. This package can provide you with the option to make minor adjustments to your look during the day or simply receive some touch-ups…. Having your hair and makeup team with you throughout the wedding day ensures that you can maintain your bridal look, even after shedding a few tears, sharing kisses, and dancing.
Think about the weather
Take the weather into account when saving your hair and makeup inspirations (Pinterest is a great option!); and don’t hesitate to rely on the experience of your hairstylist & makeup artist with destination weddings in the Cancun & Riviera Maya area.
For instance, in warmer seasons, down hairstyles may require more maintenance. If your hair doesn’t hold curls well, you may want to avoid them when the weather is hot and humid. Also, consider if the venue is outdoors or indoors as it could be more windy outside. You’ll want to avoid any hair from flying in your face during your wedding photos.
Consider matching your inspiration with your skin tone and hair type
Make sure you select makeup looks worn by women with similar skin tones and/or features. This approach will provide you with a better understanding of how the glam will appear on you. When choosing a wedding hairstyle and makeup look, it’s essential to consider your natural attributes. The length and texture of your hair may favor certain styles over others. Likewise, your skin type and eye shape can guide your makeup decisions.
Remember that you want to look and feel like the best version of yourself on this special day, so choose wisely based on what you are used to wearing in your daily makeup routine.
Don’t hesitate to consult your professional wedding hair and make-up artist to help you find what will work best for you.
