BEAUTY & FASHION
Summer weddings are on their way... In fact, they are literally knocking our doors! And, while for most of us summer is associated with relaxation, beach, and cocktails, brides who planned weddings in this season have one more stress factor on their list: whether or not their makeup is going to survive this hot weather. Our team here at Ellwed, discussed this issue with Liliya Smyrnaki, a professional makeup artist, who shared some tips for our brides-to-be in order to make sure everything is perfect on that big day!
So, the main question our brides have, is how to save their makeup during warm days? Is this even possible without piling up layers of different makeup products? Of course it is possible! Basically, the secret is to choose the fixer with the right formula and texture for your skin type. There are two popular formulas on the market nowadays: Water + acrylic, which is suitable for sensitive skin. Such products require reapplication from time to time due to possible absorption by makeup products. (Mist & Fix by Make Up For Ever; Illuminating Setting Spray by Cover Fix; Makeup Fixer by Inglot) Alcohol + water + acrylic, which is suitable for normal, oily and combination skin. These products are a perfect choice for special occasions such as weddings, photo-shoots etc., but we would not suggest them for an everyday wear.
