Wedding on the beach: why not?

Weddings on the beach are as much fun as they are fascinating. We’ve been inspired by the make-up artist Zaira Fontaneto, who spent a little while with us and gave us so many precious tips. Whether you’ve just dreamed about it, or it’s exactly what you’re planning to do, we are ready to share her tips with you for your courageous and extra cool choice: your wedding on the beach.

First off, remember that your wedding make-up has to be reinvented for the occasion: “Forget everything colorful and choose a nude look, which is going to look great from dawn to dusk” explains Zaira, who also tells us how to get it in few, simple steps. “You can start by applying a generous amount of primer on your face and décolleté, even better if it contains sunscreen. The market is full of products that are more gentle on the face’s skin nowadays, and which won’t make it too oily. Then add some mineral powder that will add some mat but hydrated effect for the whole day”.

Now you can proceed by adding some radiance points with a skin luminizing foundation and a “bonne mine” effect with a blush: pink or pinkish for light skin tones and peach for darker tones. Blushes look good also as light eye shadows: “The result will look extremely natural”, says Zaira.

You can use a transparent lip-conditioner on your lips (always choose one with sunscreen!) or a colored lip pencil, always in soft tones. The one you can find on the market nowadays are perfect: you get color, radiance and hydration in a single product!

Zaira’s final tip is about the hairstyle: “If you’re getting married on the beach, keep your hair down” she suggests, “just add a texture to them with a salty product that defines your hair without making it too heavy”.

Enjoy your preparations. The sunshine, the golden sand, the smell of the sea and your brand new husband’s smile will do the rest!
