Summers in Charleston, SC is beautiful. There are so many places to visit and see from the battery to the rainbow row, to the beach. When it comes to having your wedding hair and makeup done for the summer season there are a few things to take into consideration to be sure your hair and makeup stay in place.
Keep your Hair and Makeup Intact
The type of hair and skin you have will depend on what types of products you will need to use to help the longevity of your bridal look. If you have oily skin, you want to avoid having thick layers of product on your face. For hair, be sure to use a hairspray that is strong enough to hold the hair in place even in the humidity of your entire wedding day.
Types of Summer Hairstyles
When thinking about what hairstyle you should do for the day of your wedding there are a few things to note. Do you sweat a lot on your back or neck? If so you should consider wearing your hair in an updo or put deodorant on your neck and back areas. The deodorant will help your hair from getting wet and flat while you dance the night away.
How to Keep your Makeup on?
When thinking through the type of makeup you will wear on your wedding day, ask yourself what type of skin do I have? Different types of makeup work better with different skin types. Using pressed powder and powder blush will avoid your face from melting off throughout the wedding day. Also, apply thinner layers of makeup to keep a fresh look.
Make It Last All Day
We can’t say for a fact what the weather is going to be like on your wedding day but decide what time of day to have the event. If you can avoid having a ceremony between 11 am - 2 pm do it to stay sweat-free. During that time of day, the sun is at its peak and will be the hottest time of day. If you do feel like you are beginning to sweat during your ceremony even if it is later in the day have a bridesmaid keep paper towels to pat down and absorb the sweat. You want to get the sweat right when it starts because the longer it stays on you it can start breaking down the makeup from below at the skin’s surface.
Summer Hair and Makeup Looks
Our favorite summer looks are ones that last and don’t look heavy. A smoky eye with a bronze or plum color to add some depth without making it too dark is great. Darker lip color is great for summery weddings. Braids are a look that has become very popular and is a great option because they are humidity-resistant.
