The perfect ceremony make-up

Spring has sprung and the ceremony season is upon us. Whether it is a communion, confirmation, wedding or baptism, the watchword is always one: sobriety. When preparing for a special event, the risk of overdoing it is always lurking. Making yourself beautiful for a ceremony does not mean having to "abound in make-up," it means devoting more time to making the most of one's natural beauty by by creating makeup that is flawless e long lasting.

What do we expect from ceremonial make-up?

  • Let it last the whole day, even when it is hot
  • Let it be flash-proof with a natural, anti-shine finish

A fundamental prerequisite for successful make-up is the preparatory stage. Preparing the skin is like creating a perfect canvas on which to paint. Green light, then, to treatments with an intensive and immediate effect such as exfoliating scrubs, lifting masks, perfecting products for lips and eye contour, as well as specific day cream, to be applied a few hours before makeup for smooth, firm and radiant skin.

HOW TO CREATE THE PERFECT BASE

Now that our canvas is at its best, we can begin to create the perfect makeup base. Here, too, the secret is less is more! The temptation to cover up dark circles and imperfections under layers of foundation and concealer is the cause of one of the most common and dreaded make-up mistakes, the unsightly cakey face, better known as the "mask effect."

For a look flawless and natural look, it is important not to overdo the doses of foundation, apply a single layer evenly and smoothly blending it with a specific brush and, above all, choose a product and shade suitable for your skin type.

In the case of imperfections that are difficult to hide, such as bluish dark circles under the eyes or dark spots, the technique of camouflage before applying foundation, by dabbing an orange, honey-colored or apricot-colored concealer directly onto the blemish to be corrected.

The best ally for flawless ceremonial makeup is powder, preferably in compact form for a quick touch-up on-the-go and a long-lasting mattifying finish. To avoid a powdery effect, remember to wipe off excess product before dabbing it directly on the face, always starting with the forehead, nose and chin.

LEPO TIPS | CHOOSING FOUNDATION

  • On young skin it is best to choose a half tone lighter shade, on mature skin a half tone darker shade is recommended;
  • On combination or oily skin it is best to avoid oil-based products, no to textures that are too dry and pasty for dry skin.

EYES IN THE FOREGROUND

Now that we have created a fresh and natural base that can correct imperfections and discolorations, we can focus our attention on the eyes by creating a bright and elegant make-up.

No to smokey eyes or lines inside the eye, yes to highlights and shading, an equally effective alternative for creating depth to the gaze. Always start by spreading a light, bright eyeshadow on the mobile eyelid and a darker one around the outer corner, to be blended carefully to create a harmonious effect.

For a make-up look even more intense you can apply the pencil along the lash line then blending it with a cut-off brush, this increases the durability of the stroke and avoids annoying smudging.

Eyebrows are never to be overlooked; it only takes a few steps to enhance the arch and open the eye. The simplest technique is to trace small touches with the special pencil and then comb them to even out the color and define the line.

To finish the eye makeup, a volumizing mascara is applied strictly waterproof, which can withstand the heat and emotions of the day.

the perfect sequence for ultra-strong lip make-up? Pencil spread evenly over the entire surface, lipstick, powder and finally more lipstick!

FINAL TOUCHES.

Our make-up artist recommends leaving the blush for last so that it looks harmonious with the tones chosen for eyeshadow and lipstick. For example, Pink blush is to be avoided in combination with a lipstick of the same color, better a peach shade for a more sun kissed and less doll-like.

Last tips: let's remember not to neglect hands and nails, again better to opt for light shades or a clear nail polish to go with a refined and well-groomed manicure. Before going out, let's apply a touch of moisturizer on hands, arms, legs and décolleté and finally two drops of perfume behind the knees if the outfit involves exposed legs. By doing so, the fragrance will last longer, leaving a delicate intoxicating trail as we pass by.
