10 Easy Tips for a Beach Wedding Makeup:
Create the perfect base with sunscreen and moisturizing skincare.
For women seeking the coveted ‘glass skin’ finish, a consistent skincare regimen is essential. To set the stage for flawless makeup application, begin by prepping your complexion with a gentle, non-irritating routine. Start by misting your face with a toner that’s free from citrus extracts to prevent sunburn and subsequent damage. Next, apply a lightweight, water-based moisturizer designed to withstand the heat without compromising hydration.
Don’t forget to top it all off with a broad-spectrum sunscreen boasting a non-whitening formula for worry-free wear under direct sunlight. With your canvas prepared, you’ll be primed for a flawless makeup application that’s sure to turn heads.
Use a long-lasting primer.
To ensure a flawless makeup application, start by applying a lightweight, dewy primer that’s compatible with your skincare routine. This will help your makeup stay in place and prevent cakey streaks from forming. For those with oilier skin types, consider using a water-based primer instead of an oil-based one to avoid sebum buildup hours later. Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip Primer (45ml) is a great option that retails for $62 AUD.
Apply a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer that seamlessly matches your skin tone.
4 – Use concealer only in necessary spots.
To eliminate imperfections and uneven skin tone, use concealer in a controlled manner. Be mindful not to overdo it, as excessive concealer can undo the natural finish achieved with foundation or tinted moisturizer. Instead of applying too much at once, try building up small amounts at a time, allowing for easier correction if needed. This approach ensures a more precise and refined outcome. For instance, consider using HY-Glam Concealer (priced at 52 AUD) from Natasha Denona.

Skip harsh contouring. Instead, use a glowy bronzer and sculpt with blush.
As you apply bronzer, consider using washes of a gold-toned shade to add warmth to your complexion. Focus on areas that tend to receive less direct light, such as the hollows beneath your cheekbones, around the bridge of your nose, and along your hairline. This will help create a sun-kissed glow. Instead of traditional contouring, try cleverly placing blush to sculpt your features without looking too dramatic.
For fair skin tones, a reddish blush applied just below the cheekbone and blended up towards the temples can create a natural-looking definition. For darker complexions, purple or orange hues can produce a stunning, natural flush when placed in the same manner.
Highlight the high points on your face with a fine illuminator.
Take your highlight game to the next level by opting for a finely textured powder or liquid illuminator instead of chunky glitter. For a truly show-stopping look, aim for a smooth iridescence that gives you an otherworldly glow. To achieve this goddess-like finish, consider investing in the Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter Duo from Fenty Beauty. This product offers two 3.
5g compacts for $61 AUD, providing ample opportunity to experiment with different highlighting techniques and find your perfect shade.
Don’t overdraw your eyebrows—go for a brow gel with a strong hold instead!
To achieve a beach-ready brow, start by defining your eyebrows with a waterproof and smudge-proof product. A clear gel or stick is ideal for a natural look that won’t budge under sweat and humidity. If you want to add some extra oomph, try Boy Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel-Pomade from Glossier, priced at $18. For inspiration, check out the makeup tutorials on Instagram by @jellyeugenio.
Keep eye makeup simple, peachy, and long-lasting.
When it comes to eye makeup, aim for a natural look by opting for neutral, earthy tones like subtle brown or peachy-pink hues. For added drama without sacrificing realism, consider individual false eyelashes designed specifically for the upper waterline. Meanwhile, prioritize waterproof mascara and eyeliner to ensure your look remains intact even in the face of happy tears! The Tom Ford Eye Color Quad in Golden Hour is a great option to achieve this flawless appearance, priced at $90.
Choose a my-lips-but-better lip stain.
For the effortless, dewy look you’re aiming for, say goodbye to dark matte lipsticks. Instead, opt for a combination of long-lasting glosses and lip stains that won’t budge from your lips all day. Natural pink shades will give your lips a healthy, radiant appearance that looks like it’s fresh off the lips of a just-awakened morning. Add some shine with a juicy, slightly shimmering gloss and you’ll have a look that’s nothing short of stunning.
Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil, priced at $20, is a great place to start building this effortless beauty look.
Seal the deal with an SPF-loaded setting spray.
To achieve a flawless beat that lasts all day, it’s essential to set your look with a setting spray. But why not take it up a notch by using a spray with SPF for added sun protection? This simple step can make a significant difference in keeping your makeup looking great even when you’re out and about.
