Hotel wedding makeup
The kind of wedding decides the makeup more than the bride's preference does, because the conditions differ so much.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
Choose for the light it will be seen in, which is rarely the light you are standing in.
What actually decides it
Indoor or outdoor, day or evening, how long it runs, and how heavily it is photographed.
The specific case of hotel wedding. Start from the condition it has to survive — how long, in what light, photographed or not — and work backwards to the formula. Choosing the product first and hoping is what produces most of the failures.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
A Moroccan wedding runs from late afternoon past two in the morning under venue light plus flash, with several outfit changes. Almost nothing built for a short daytime ceremony survives it.
What it will not do
It cannot replace a trial. The trial is where the base is tested against the actual skin and the actual light.
