Asian Bride

Hair Styling And Makeup Tips

2 | A s i a n - M a k e U p

Hair and makeup are things which would-be-brides put considerable importance on because they want to look their best in their big day, whether on photos or in person. Asian brides are of no exception. While applying makeup and styling hair on an Asian bride is not much different than on other races, it is often best delegated to a professional. The reason for this is that professionals would know how to work with the various shades and undertones of Asian skin and how to style your jet black hair. Also, most Asian women have almond-shape eyes, have eyelids without creases, and stubbornly sparse eyelashes can make applying eye makeup challenging for some. Asians also tend to have thinner lips, and some would-be-brides may want to make them appear fuller without having to undergo surgery or have lip injections. An experience bridal hair stylist and makeup artist can solve these problems and give you the look you want.

Asian bridal makeup artists can, for instance, make use of black eyeliner and black mascara as these help bring more attention to your eyes and make them appear better in pictures. They can apply light beige shadow on your brow bone to give the impression that your eyes are larger.

Hair stylists who have previous experience with Asian women are knowledgeable of traditional hairstyles. If you are a bit more adventurous, they can also give you a modern Asian hairstyle.

Pointers in Selecting a Hair and Makeup Artist

If you don’t have one yet, ask people you trust who recently got wed if they can recommend a hair or makeup artist. Many of these professionals advertise

online through directories or through their own websites, making learning about their

services relatively convenient. Look at the makeup artist’s or stylist’s portfolio to see

if you like their work. When reviewing samples of their work, look at how clean and creative their works are. It would not be enough to just read about these experts though, you have to talk to them in person so you can ascertain whether or not you can establish a good rapport with them. You’re likely to be nervous on the day of your wedding, having a makeup artist or stylist who is high-strung would only add to your anxiety. Ask for credentials and how long they have been in the business too. Remember to schedule for trial makeup and hair styling session months ahead so if you are not happy with what you see you still have time to improve the look or to find another beauty expert.
