5 tips makeup tips every black women should consider before appearing on camera on the wedding day!

• Make sure your face matches the rest of your body – To correct it, you may need to wear a slightly darker shade of foundation or use bronzing powder on your neck and chest to eliminate any obvious colour difference.
• If your picture is being taken outdoors, bear in mind that direct sunlight is the cruellest and least forgiving – To avoid looking harsh or older than you are, keep your make-up soft and neutral.
• Products with pink undertones can look ashy and fake in photographs – Go easy on face powder since it can call attention to any fuzz or facial hair, and steer clear of very dark eye shadows, which can also look harsh on camera.
• Keep in mind that a dewy face looks nice in person, but it can look greasy in pictures, so don’t over-moisturize – If you have a very oily T-zone, keep it in check with an oil-control face lotion applied before your foundation.
• To avoid feeling rushed, allow 45 minutes to an hour for make-up application on the wedding day.
