Skincare and Makeup Tips for Grooms

Prep the Skin in Advance

While skincare isn’t exactly makeup, it helps your face look and feel its best. When done regularly, a good skincare routine will help you prep your skin for the big day. Every morning and night, follow a simple CTM routine. If you have concerns like acne or pigmentation, you can also visit a dermatologist to help you find the right products for your skin type. Following a routine will make sure your base looks flawless and that your makeup stays in place for longer. Healthy skin is the first step to flawless looking makeup. If you’re comfortable, you can start using a gentle exfoliator once a week to help you get rid of dead, dull skin. The key is to start early. You need at least two to three months for the skincare routine to start showing significant results. So don’t wait for the last moment and then expect a miracle. 

Keep the Look Subtle and Simple

Unless you’re having a theme wedding, makeup tips for grooms generally include a very subtle and simple look. Don’t do eyeliner and contouring and all the extra jazz. Go for a subtle base, dewy but not too glowy. And keep the rest of the face simple. Definitely groom the eyebrows and define them with a little brow filler and concealer. You can use bronzer for a natural looking glow and neutralize your blemishes. Don’t go for full coverage makeup, but more of sheer looks. Focus on highlighting your best features rather than doing a full face of makeup. For best results, sit with your makeup artist and discuss the look and maybe even get a trial before the wedding. Not all men are used to makeup, so don’t leave any surprises for the last minute. 

Hire a Professional Makeup Artist

Of course, the best thing to do when it comes to the groom’s makeup is to hire a professional. Unless you do your makeup on a regular basis and know how to do it well, it’s better to leave it to the professional. A great idea is to get your bride’s makeup artist to do your makeup as well. This way the two of you can get a great deal. And there will be less chaos and less work for you. But definitely hire a professional. Enhancing your features, and making sure your makeup stays in place are all tricks a makeup artist will know best. So make sure you book them in advance. 

Work on Your Facial Hair

Facial hair doesn’t suit everyone, but if it works for you, then make sure to make the best of it for your big day. Facial hair is a big part of makeup tips for grooms. Most of the time, your facial hair can work the best in enhancing your features and complimenting your face shape. Hence reducing the need for makeup. Make sure you sit with your barber and makeup artist to plan the best bear look for you. Your facial hair should complement your face and not overpower your entire look. It should also be well groomed and look clean. If it looks untidy or unkempt, you’ll instantly be making a bad impression and won’t look dapper at all. 

Make your Look Sweatproof

One of the most important makeup tips for grooms and brides is to make your look sweatproof. You need your makeup to last all day and through all the festivities. So make sure you know all the tips and hacks to make your makeup sweat proof for the big day. Between sweaty dance numbers and all the running around, your makeup is bound to get sweaty and messy. To avoid that, you can carry blotting paper or tissues with you. Make sure also carry a few essentials for touchups like sponge, concealer, powder, and some makeup remover. To reset the makeup and give your face a rejuvenating glow, make sure to carry a facial mist and touch up whenever needed. Rest, leave it to your makeup artist to do your makeup flawlessly. They know the best tricks to make sure your makeup is sweat proof all day long.

Preps to do Before Your Wedding Day

Get Facial Treatments Before the Big Day

Facials aren’t just for the brides. As grooms, you too, can get facials to help prepare your skin for the big day. But remember, we don’t want any allergic reactions at the last moment, so make sure you find the perfect facial routine for your skin way ahead the wedding. You can sit with you dermat or skin expert to figure out the perfect facial for your skin type. Once that’s sorted you can get the treatment once a month at least 4-5 months ahead of your wedding to help your skin get used to the products. This way you can safely get the treatment right before the big day, too. Facials can help you get rid of all the dry, dull skin and give you a lasting, healthy glow.

Don’t Forget Grooming your Hair

How can we forget the hair! Your mane is responsible for half your look. It can shape your face, enhance your face shape and can make you look either extremely put together or a like a complete mess. So make sure you style your hair well. If you have a barber you go to regularly, then it’s probably safe to get a haircut one day before the wedding. However, if you wish to try a new hairstylist or newer hairstyles, it’s better to do all the experiments beforehand. So you know what’ll work best for you on your wedding.

Pamper Yourself with a Mani Pedi Session

Who says you can’t pamper yourself? Get your comfy clothes on and head to the salon for a relaxing mani pedi session. These will not only help you relax and rejuvenate, but will also make sure you have squeaky clean and nourished nails. And these are important for a great impression, too. Also, your hands are going to be photographed much more than you expect on your engagement day. So a manicure will make sure your hands look clean and supple in the pictures too!
