Choosing your wedding makeup by skin tone

On your wedding day, your makeup should do one thing above all: reveal your face, not mask it. And it all starts with reading your skin tone correctly. Here is how I work during every bridal trial.

Find your undertone

Before talking colours, you need to understand your undertone, the hue beneath the surface of your skin. Look at the inside of your wrist in daylight. Greenish veins suggest a warm undertone, bluish veins a cool one, and a mix of both a neutral undertone.

This detail changes everything: it decides the foundation that truly melts into your skin, with no mask effect in photos.

Foundation, the invisible first step

Good wedding foundation is sensed, not seen. I always build in thin layers, adding coverage where it's needed rather than flattening the whole face. For long wear, the skin is first prepped and hydrated: that's what makes everything else last.

Match blush and lips to your undertone

• Warm undertones: peach, coral, terracotta, warm brown. Golden light suits you beautifully.
• Cool undertones: rose, raspberry, plum, reds with blue reflections.
• Neutral undertones: almost everything works, a rare luxury.

The point isn't to follow a trend, but to choose shades that bring out your skin's natural radiance.

Think about light and photos

The light at your venue affects the result. An outdoor summer wedding calls for a more matte finish than an indoor ceremony. Photographers' flash can also wash out a too-light foundation: one more reason to do a trial in real conditions.

Why the trial matters

The trial isn't a luxury, it's where everything is decided: we test, adjust and validate your look together. You leave reassured, knowing exactly what to expect on the big day.
