“For weddings, please please please hire a makeup artist. Especially if it’s outdoors in hot weather. All those beautiful bride photos in magazines? Pros. So incredibly worth the money. Really. Don’t cheap out on it.

I say this as the wife of a photographer who has had to bend over backwards to produce flattering photos (aka photoshop) brides with inexpert makeup. Many women are happy with their standard makeup in pictures outside the wedding context, but the wedding myth machine has amped up expectations big time to be “the beautiful bride” aka the prettiest pretty you’ve ever been in your whole darn life. The glow of a happy new marriage does not make your make-up perfect on camera. A good expert (the sort you pay and has done it before) can help you come closer to what you want in both in-person look and photos. Else, please be reasonable in your expectations.”

If you still confuse how to do a great make up for special occasion, like wedding maybe you can take this tips from Jezebel. It helps you not being a joke with your make up.

This is another tips for you,

Special occasions call for a makeup primer. I swear by Smashbox Photo Finish, which I apply before my powder foundation. It really helps makeup to apply smoothly, and prevent shine & smearing from occuring later on.

Also, Urban Decay makes an eyeshadow primer called Primer Potion that applies with a sponge-tipped wand. It also helps shadow to remain in place for hours, and eliminates creasing.
