Portrait Tips: Here’s everything you need to know about getting picture-perfect wedding portraits and photos you’ll cherish forever.

1. Choose your look in advance. Choosing your look is as important as choosing your gown. Don’t wait until the last minute to decide what makeup look to wear for your portrait or your wedding day. Be sure to check out the Bridal Looks on this site or ask me for a customized look I can create just for you.
2. Create a beautiful canvas. Your complexion may be dewy, but matte skin photographs better since it doesn’t interfere with the camera’s flash. For a flawless face, use MK Signature® Concealer to cover any imperfections before applying your foundation. Try mixing your foundation with moisturizer for the sheerest, most natural coverage. Be sure to keep an MK Signature® Facial Highlighting Pen handy. Applied over foundation, it helps brighten dark circles or shadowy areas of the face. Finish with MK Signature® Loose Powder. Choose a shade closest to your skin tone, as translucent powders can drain the color from your face. Also stay away from powders with any glittery or pearly finishes.
3. The eyes have it. Define your eyes in smoky shades of eyeliner, such as MK Signature® Eyeliner in Deep Brown or Black, and apply lightly along the upper and lower lashes. Be sure to smudge and blend the eyeliner to keep your eyes looking soft and pretty. For eye shadow, choose soft, neutral shades that enhance, not compete, with your natural eye color. MK Signature® Eye Colors such as Spun Silk, Bamboo, Moonstone, Whipped Cocoa and Hazelnut are neutral and flatter almost every skin tone (while supplies last). For your finishing touch, apply mascara to make eyes really stand out. It’s important not to apply too much mascara as it makes the eyes look smaller and can cast shadows over cheeks. MK Signature® Ultimate Mascara™ is the perfect choice to help you create superstar, super-thick lashes with up to five times the volume.
4. Kiss the bride. A shiny lip is always pretty in a portrait. Begin with TimeWise® Age-Fighting Lip Primer. This amazing product minimizes fine lines for younger-looking lips while it also keeps lipstick in its place to help prevent feathering and bleeding! After applying the lip liner and lipstick color of your choice, place a dab of Mary Kay® NouriShine™ Lip Gloss in Starry in the center of your bottom lip and smile. You’re gorgeous!
