Your wedding is definitely one of those times when you’ll be taking a lot of pictures and is also a day that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Every bride dreams of a perfect, radiant look, but getting that photogenic wedding makeup is just not about makeup—it’s about the whole process. A lot of brides are so unaware that they make these little mistakes, which eventually turn into huge regrets. At Eyana Ladies Salon, we have interacted with so many bridal clients in Dubai that we are very sure of the things we have to go through to get that beautiful bridal look, which can last long
Let’s dive into the most common bridal makeup mistakes—and how you can avoid them!
1. Skipping the Bridal Makeup Trial
Never assume that the makeup artist knows exactly what you want without a trial. A bridal trial lets you:
Test your full look in advance
Avoid any surprise reactions to products
Make adjustments to your preferences
đź’ˇ Tip: Book your trial at least 3-4 weeks before the wedding for tweaks and skin prep if needed.
2. Not Prepping Your Skin in Advance
Even the best makeup can’t hide poor skin prep. Brides often neglect facials or skip their skincare routine. In Dubai’s heat and humidity, skin can become dry or oily fast.
Start facials at least a month in advance
Stick to a simple, consistent skincare routine
Hydrate and exfoliate regularly
3. Choosing the Wrong Foundation Shade
Flash photography can turn a slightly mismatched foundation into a major disaster. Always test your foundation in natural light and under camera flash.
At Eyana, we help you find your perfect match for both tone and undertone—because that wedding album is forever!
Bold lips, glitter eyelids, or heavy contour wear might be visually appealing on Instagram; however, these things can still be too harsh for your face in real life or combined with your clothes.
Choose classic beauty instead of passing trends.
Your wedding dress should be a mere reflection of you, not only fashion.
5. Forgetting to Touch Up
Even the most long-lasting makeup needs a little upkeep. Don’t forget to keep a touch-up kit with:
Blotting papers
Lipstick or gloss
Compact powder
Safety pins & tissues (just in case!)
đź’ˇ Pro tip: Ask your makeup artist for a small pot of your lip color to reapply throughout the day.
6. Not Considering the Weather
Dubai’s climate is humid and unpredictable—your makeup should be climate-proof. If you're having an outdoor ceremony, you’ll need:
Waterproof mascara
Oil-free primer
Sweat-resistant setting spray
7. Ignoring Eyebrow Grooming or Tinting
Your brows frame your entire face. Uneven or unkempt brows can change your entire vibe. Usually, 1–2 days before a wedding, threading and brow tinting are done to make your brows look crisp and photogenic.
Conclusion
Bridal makeup is not only to make the bride look gorgeous, but also to make her feel the same way. A bride who has kept herself away from these common mistakes can light up the wedding with her elegance and without any hassle.
