How to Make Your Wedding Makeup Last


Looking for a primer that keeps your bridal makeup smooth, shine-free and photo-ready from morning prep to the final dance? From hydrating formulas to mattifying heroes, here’s how to find the best makeup primer for your wedding day.
Primer is a crucial to makeup because it creates a smooth base and helps makeup last longer. A product such as VIEVE Skin Nova which has a slight tacky finish helps to prep the skin and makes makeup stay in place. Use primer first and layer foundation on top or mix it with foundation for a customised finish. It can even be used for a "no-foundation" day to add radiance. Makeup lasts longer when skin is hydrated so it’s important to use something that will hydrate the skin.
If you treat primer as optional for bridal makeup, you’re leaving a lot to chance. A solid primer is like the engineering behind a skyscraper that you don’t see it in photos, but without it, everything above could crumble. As a pro artist, I always invest time in selecting the right primer for the bride’s skin type and the event’s demands (weather, duration, lighting). Don’t just think “foundation + setting” think “foundation built to last.”
