Does Natural Wedding Makeup Last All Day?

The discourse surrounding this question is astounding. Makeup artists trained in heavy “bridal” makeup will swear blind that natural makeup won’t last the day. This is factually incorrect. Natural wedding makeup applied by a professional will last. But there are variables, such as your skin type, environmental conditions and the amount of makeup you feel comfortable with.

My approach as a skin-first artist is to give you only as much prep as you need, makeup applied in small layers and tones that reflect the natural colours in your skin. This means even as you wear the makeup into the night, it just becomes one with your skin, perfectly lived in. It’s seamless so you never have to battle against it.

Wearing more makeup doesn't automatically mean it will last longer. More comes with its own issues and tends to have a more visibly breakdown on the skin.

Ultimately long lasting makeup isn't one product or one application type. It's years of judging skin types and figuring out the delicate balance of products that will stay with you until you wash it off. And that is why you're booking a professonal. We don't have access to different products but we do have the knowledge we've built to decide which of those products are going to work the best for you.

If you'd like natural make up that lasts all day, you're welcome to get in touch with your wedding date.
