- Oh, as she brushes her hair.
Today on the Bridechilla 30 days of wedding planning,
I am talking all about hair and makeup.
How do you achieve the wedding day look
that works for you without going full drag face?
Unless full drag face is what you want, and I support you.
I really do.
I'm Aleisha, the host of The Bridechilla Podcast
and also the founder of Bridechilla.
I'm the author of these two books,
The Bridechilla Field Guide and very professional
oh my god, The Bridechilla Survival Guide,
which is what you may need if you are having
a tricky time planning your wedding.
And I really love producing the podcast,
it's something I started doing three years ago.
I've made over 300 episodes of this show,
interviewed over like 150 people, it's amazing,
it's amazing, I've met some amazing people.
And hair and makeup are really one of those topics
that I love because I'm a bit of a...
Well look, I'm not like a beauty Youtuber or anything
I'm not into that.
But I love a strong lip and I do like a good product.
But here's the thing, a lot of people
don't wear a lot of makeup.
This is probably more makeup because I knew
I was going to be in front of a camera.
I was like I'll put little bit more rouge on.
And I like a bronzer, and again I like a strong lip.
So that does a lot of work for me.
But a lot of people don't choose to wear makeup at all.
And the question that comes up quite often
in the Bridechilla Community is
if I'm not a general makeup wearer,
do I have to wear makeup on my wedding day,
and if so, how do I find makeup that will still
maintain how I look normally,
but just add a bit of zhuzh to it?
And firstly, you don't have to do anything.
That's the spirit of Bridechilla is
if you don't want to wear makeup, don't wear it.
If you don't normally wear it, fine.
I love that Alicia Keys, she's really found this...
I don't want to say niche, because it's something
she really believes in.
But the past couple of years she's not been
wearing makeup at all to events and on-stage,
and she is freaking stunning.
But her whole belief system and ethos
really changed with how much photo shopping was going on
and how much women feel obliged to wear makeup all the time
when we should just be sort of embracing the spirit
of who we are.
Saying that, I do think that it's for a lot of people
a little daunting if you don't wear a lot of makeup
to then jump straight into going to a hair and makeup artist
and feeling like you're wearing a mask,
which is certainly not how you should be feeling
on your wedding day.
As I've sort of talked about throughout this series,
for me about the look of a wedding day and how you feel,
you should feel like a jazzy version of yourself.
There shouldn't be any...you shouldn't go into something
wanting to look different, like extremely different,
because your partner, they've hooked up with you
and they've said let's get engaged because of who you are
and how they're attracted to you, and to me the idea
of these sort of complete bridal makeovers,
where they...people come out tiny skinny, and they're...
All this stuff and then spray down extra hair
and it's like what are we doing?
Now I'm not against a clip in hair or extension or a tan
or a lip or whatever.
And if you want to sweat for the wedding
and you're doing it for the right reasons,
as in you are doing it for health,
you're feeling good about yourself,
I think this idea of sweating for the wedding,
as I've spoken about can be chronically unhealthy
for so many people.
But looking at makeup, I actually think this is something
that if you're nervous about it, you should be exploring
and maybe going along to some makeup counters,
going along and doing some workshops,
there are lots of great makeup designers,
hair and makeup stylists and artists that will
take you through how to do the makeup yourself,
but then also how to use foundation
and a little bit of blush.
You don't have to go the full Kim Kardashian,
like warpaint style, contouring and all this stuff.
That's not really, I think, necessary, and actually
I've seen some really bad contouring
and it's like oh sister you would have looked
so much better without all that shit on your face.
However, if you're planning to do your own hair and makeup
for your wedding day, the biggest piece of advice
I can give you is to practise, practise, practise.
And make sure you give yourself plenty of time on the day,
and also do some run-throughs.
Get up on a Saturday morning as if today is your wedding day
and practise what you want to do.
Because I don't know about you, I don't know how many times
I've tried to blow-dry my hair,
and one day you do it and it's like
oh my god, I should be a hairdresser,
and the next day's like
oh, I can't leave the house.
I don't understand, I did exactly the same thing
and it looks terrible.
So, the same goes with makeup.
Some days I just get it right and I'm like
girl, you look good.
And then other days it's like blech.
So I think it's really important to do your practise
and then also if you are not a makeup wearer but you want
to wear some makeup, go meet some makeup artists.
That's the word, makeup artist,
how the fuck did I forget that?
And connect with them and do some trials.
Make sure that they have a practise, you feel comfortable
and bring along photos, screen rub some shit
to come along and show them.
And say this is the look I'm after,
or I would like a natural nude face with a poppy lip
or I feel like a big beautiful cat's eye,
but nothing too heavy.
Go along and give them inspiration.
And do not feel at all ashamed or feeling bad
if you don't like what's happening.
Say to them this is not quite what I was after,
I'd like less makeup, or I'd like more,
or could we try something again?
They're not going to be offended
because they want to work with you and make it work.
That was a lot of information.
How do you feel about that?
I just talked a lot about a lot of things.
I feel happy about it.
How've you found this 30 days of wedding planning?
Has it been helpful?
I would love to hear your feedback,
maybe comment below if you are also wanting
to share your favourite lipstick,
maybe you've got a poppy lip you'd like to share,
or you've got an eyeliner secret.
Gosh, I love eyeliner secrets.
If you have found a way to do a proper good cat's eye
or at least eyeliner that's not like blech
on one eye and like ooh boo proper on the other,
I would love to hear your tips.
Leave them in the comments below.
If you would like to connect with me,
leave me a question for a Bridechilla Q&A episode,
all you need to go is to, all you need to go is to
thebridechilla.com and you can connect with me there.
Thank you so much for sharing this time,
I look forward to tomorrow.
And as always, happy days.
