Which Bridal Makeup look is best for my Dark Skin tone?

Bridal makeup, like most makeup is about personal taste. If you have a strong makeup identity, then by all means go with what you feel your most confident, and your most beautiful. For instance, our beautiful Arabic brides tend to go for stronger colours in line with amazing henna and heavily jewelled dresses flown in from Dubai.  Some go for transformation makeup wishing to be totally made over helping to boost confidence and feel amazing.  For the majority of brides to be, the truth is they want to look beautiful and timeless.

Avoid high trend.
If you are going for this then you need to try and stay away from highly trending makeup such as very heavy enlarged brows, or overly contoured face. This look stamps your wedding photos firmly in the year it was taken leading to them looking quickly outdated.

Your makeup artist will consult with you about the colour of your theme, your favourite colours and the colours that will suit you best, however the 'Bridal Makeup' look is enhancing, softening and timeless, bringing out the most beautiful you.

Looking like a bride
Bridal Makeup colours for dark skin tones can have a huge range within the spectrum of pinks such as purples, peaches, baby pink and fushia. Brown such as nearly black, browns, reddish, creams, off whites and  Golds such as dark golds, yellow golds, rose golds, white golds and a variety of shimmers. Done correctly the makeup will highlight, softly contour, correct skintone and beautify to varying levels on intensity.

Most brides will declare that they want to look natural and stunning, both vastly vague descriptors. Beauty is subjective, so a valuable tip is to be aware of the parts of your face that you find most attractive, and the parts that you do not.  I once met a beautiful woman pre op who could not wait to have her lips reduced. Her lips were stunning in my opinion, full and shapely however for reasons she explained she could not see herself as beautiful, my job was to make them look as small as possible. You the bride need to feel beautiful and confident on your big day so you need someone who is not just great at producing one look or edited shots. You need someone that can not only listen to your needs but add value, knowledge and experience and deliver the results you need with professionalism, warmth and expertise. Bridal Makeup and Hair is a specialist area so better to stick with specialists in the field. 

Find some images of the look you are going for and ensure that they are of people of your skin tone and face structure if possible.  Pointing at a Kim K picture when you look like Jada Pinkette won't help as they have totally different face shapes and attributes.  A bridal specialist will help you to arrive at decision you are happy with and use expert knowledge and to guide you to the most enhanced decision.

Should I pay or should I go?
If you are on a Budget, then by all means stick with it. However wedding hair and makeup is something that requires an eye for how a bride should look and feel. There is no time for disappointments or training, on the day you need to be surrounded by experts.  Experts will charge for their expertise, the experience and all round embedded service that you will get the day.  Last year I was booked for a makeup. However the bride was so unhappy about her hair, she started to cry and as soon the the stylist left she pleaded for me to do anything. So with my bare hands I did some pinned curls, no tools or products (true story). Although she was delighted with the results, it pays to do it right from the beginning.  With services at the very higher end of the scale for instance, bridal hair or makeup over £200 each, just be sure you know exactly what extras you are paying for.

To trial or not to trial?
Trials are a great way of getting to know your wedding consultant and arriving at the look that you want before  your special day. So if you can, book a trial especially if you have a large wedding and there are a lot of variables to discuss.  But if you are booking specialists and you are only booking makeup for yourself, you can always have a consultation at the beginning of the booking on the day, your consultant will just arrive a little earlier and will consult with you over the phone beforehand its here that you benefit from the experience.

Quality
There are a vast amount of makeup services however bridal specialist will be able to offer you quality makeup products that will not slide off in 2 hours. The price of makeup products can be extremely high, single professional products ranging from £40 to over £100. This day is an investment in your all day beauty so choose wisely so you not only get the look, you get the lasting effects.

In short, you arrive at your best bridal makeup look by using experienced bridal makeup specialists who will take expertise and quality makeup and merge it with your personal preferences. This is the winning combination to a happy and beautiful bride ready to enjoy her day.

Bridal Updo for Afro Hair with extensions

Virtually all wedding dresses are bigger than what you would normally wear. Whether it's an A lined, fish-tailed or full princess style, the likelihood is there is going to be more of it! This is why bridal hairstyling is unique, as it offers balance to your attire  and elegance to soften and compliment your look.

Bridal hair styles tend to offer the illusion that there is more hair, whether it is an bridal up do or downward body wave, the right hair style can offset your wedding dress for a striking silhouette and glamorous appearance.  It is very important that you use specialists in Bridal Hair to achieve this as they work with brides all the time, and can ensure the look ties in with the image you wish to present on the wedding day.

Are you worried that you hair is not thick or long enough to create the bridal hairstyle of your dreams? Try not to worry about that, most professional Bridal Afro hair stylist will be able to create your style using human hair extensions for very realistic results. Using human hair extensions is quite important part of this if you want a natural look.

Natural hair has a transparency in the sunlight, a way it behaves in the wind, and moves with your body, even if only a tendril is left flowing. It is also longer lasting and more versatile, so if you are wondering which is better, we vote Human Hair! Prices vary between £20 and £60 per pack and more if you are a hair connoisseur and indulge in Brazilian/Peruvian hair....coming soon!

Bridal African Caribbean, Arabic Wedding hair styles.

10 on trend bridal hair styles to consider 2013

 

Be inspired all African Caribbean Black, Asian and Arabic Brides who are looking for Wedding day Bridal Hair styles

 

On your wedding day, your choice of bridal hair style is usually one of the most important aspects to think about. How close to the big day should you have your hair permed? If you normally wear your hair up, should you stick with that style or vice verse? At Nu Woman Beauty, we think about wedding hair every day, and can help you to answer some of those niggling questions. We have gathered a top ten selection of bridal hair styles to  provide inspiration to you. If you have Afro Hair, you can still look at European bridal styles as we can replicate any style and provide human hair extensions. With a dedicated experienced team of staff to cater to your makeup and beauty needs, all you need is inspiration and we will do the rest.

   
1. Romantic downward spirals
These loose spirals are not only glamorous, but frame the face beautifully and add body to your hair style. This is ideal if your wedding dress is an A lined cut or has volume to the skirt. A full bodied style adds balance to your look, and can vary from tighter curls to longer loose curls or waves. This style can easily integrate extensions for an extra touch of glamour.



  
    
2. Simple Classic Buns
These classics  have a huge impact although they appear simple.  Clean defined lines, creates this a very Chic, elegant styling and is a winner with brides year in year out.  There are many variations to this from the Spanish bun, to a larger basket at the back. Having a bridal sweep can soften the look to look pretty and elegant.

   
3. Traditional bridal Updo’s
By far the most popular choice by brides, and probably always will be. The reason for that is it looks simply stunning.  This is a soft and feminine style which suite most face shapes as the sweeps can be altered to suite the bride. Having the hair up, with just a drop of hair to frame the neck is great with off the shoulder dresses as well high necked. This ideal style is great to wear with Tiaras and will suite most hair accessories so it’s a winner all round.











   


4. The bridal bun curl
This is another classic favourite, a great way to show off your hair accessories or to frame your professional makeup application. Stars such as Kim Kardashian have boosted the off the face bun, linking it with a defined natural looking glamorous makeup application. Great for most hair lengths as extensions can be easily blended in and the bun curled to perfection.

5. Pinned Curls
These are lovely if you choose a retro styles, love vintage looks or simply like to see your curls. They can provide flattering contrast when wearing a chapel or cathedral veil which is positioned at the very back or under your bun. There are many variations to this one, all with beautiful results. Vintage is timeless and we love them!
 
 6. Hair Extensions queens
Everyone knows that hair extensions provide volume and really add glamour if applied correctly. If you are going to have your hair down on your wedding day, then very long extensions need not be overly fussy. Defined curls all the way down can provide a stunning back and side profile and provide a glamorous base for your hair accessories. Colour can easily be injected into your style if you prefer and a style like this needs little maintenance during the day which is ideal for a busy bride.

7. Half updo’s

This playful messy half up do has the bride in mind, with body length extensions, a quiff to add height to the hair, a full back veil and tiara! No mistaking who the bride is here :)  This full on glamorous look can be integrated with crown curls and has many variations with the downward part, from light layers to ringlets.
 




8. Sculptured ponytail, with bridal sweep is a among the classic range of styles with all the beauty in the shape and smooth lines. Often brides tend to inject a little colour variation to add definition. Hollywood superstar Tara Banks took this look and made it a red carpet hit, which is now also a hit with brides too!

   

9. Plaits
Plaits can be beautiful. Woven into your bridal hair as a simple bun, or incorporated into a timeless Greek Goddess style. These looks lovely with diamante pins or hair accessories to provide a little sparkle. Songstress Alicia Keys recently had an interesting bun made from a large plait. This can be varied slightly to make a terrific modern bridal hair style. Superstar Jessica Alba also made headlines with this classic look.  Feminine and Chic all in one.
 



10. Bespoke
If you want your hair to be your feature, then it is wise to have professional bridal stylists who do these elaborate styles every week. With your own style your imagination is your only limitation. Be careful not to have a style that requires your attention during the day. This lovely variation of a half up do is wonderful for showing of your hair length and to add hair to an empty back space, when wearing a backless dress. This off the face style means it’s not overly fussy and works well with hair accessories or without.
