In an interview featured on Bessie Young Photography\u2019s website, Maru offered practical advice for brides navigating the often-overwhelming task of choosing their wedding makeup.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe top tip I always share is to make sure your makeup matches the season,\u201d said Maru. \u201cEach season brings its own trendy colors and shades, so choose something that complements your wedding theme and your skin tone.\u201d<\/p>\n
She emphasises the importance of knowing your undertones and picking shades that enhance, rather than mask your natural beauty.<\/p>\n
For brides who don\u2019t typically wear makeup, Maru still recommends applying some on the big day. \u201cEven if you don\u2019t normally wear a lot of makeup, you\u2019re going to want to for your pictures,\u201d she explained. \u201cMakeup helps balance lighting and brings out your best features on camera. A professional makeup artist can tailor your look to suit the lighting, your skin tone, and even the setting of your wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maru is a strong advocate for doing a trial run before the big day. \u201cIt lets you see what works for you and what doesn\u2019t. A look that seems simple might actually be more complicated, and not everything you see online will suit your face shape or skin tone,\u201d she said. \u201cA trial run also gives you the chance to build trust with your makeup artist, which can reduce your stress.\u201d<\/p>\n
When it comes to unpredictable weather, preparation is key. \u201cWhether it\u2019s wind, rain, or extreme heat, a good setting spray or powder can make all the difference. For wind, I recommend extra foundation on the cheeks to avoid redness. For heat, stay away from creamy products \u2013 they don\u2019t hold up well,\u201d Maru advised.<\/p>\n
She also offered guidance on how much makeup is enough: \u201cYou\u2019re going to want to wear more than usual. It helps with photos and makes your entire look feel complete. Think of makeup as an accessory \u2014 it ties everything together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maru said there\u2019s no rule when it comes to matching bridesmaids\u2019 makeup. \u201cSome brides want to stand out, while others prefer a more uniform, natural look for the whole party. It\u2019s really about what makes the bride feel happiest.\u201d<\/p>\n
For DIY brides, she suggested practising the chosen look several times before the wedding and testing it in different environments. \u201cYou\u2019ll want to know exactly how it holds up in heat or cold. Invite your bridesmaids over for a fun test session and don\u2019t forget to bring your makeup kit \u2013 and a compact mirror \u2013 with you on the big day for quick touch-ups.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re hiring a pro or going solo, Maru\u2019s message is clear: thoughtful planning and a personalised touch will help you feel confident and radiant when you walk down the aisle.<\/p>\n
