What does Clean Beauty Mean?

Clean beauty refers to cosmetic products avoiding toxic ingredients in their formulas, a trend that has gained popularity recently, indicating a heightened consumer concern about skincare. However, not every product labeled as "clean" is genuinely free from harmful chemicals.

While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn't mandate approval for most beauty products, it does regulate the industry to some extent. This means that certain products may still contain toxins, despite using terms like "clean beauty" or "organic ingredients" on their labels.

Take, for instance, hidden ingredients like asbestos, inadvertently mixed with talcum powder in some products. Asbestos exposure, even in small amounts, poses risks of asbestos-related cancer and diseases, making it a dangerous inclusion in makeup, even on your wedding day.

Formaldehyde, another naturally occurring chemical, might also be present in makeup as a preservative, potentially causing cancer when inhaled. Being mindful of these hidden dangers ensures your beauty routine aligns with your health and safety concerns, especially when preparing for significant events like your wedding.

Make certain your bridal makeup regimen remains chemical-free by following these suggestions:

FAQs

Which type of bridal makeup is best? ›

Airbrush makeup is ideal for brides who want a long-lasting and water-resistant makeup that can withstand sweat, tears, and humidity. Airbrush makeup can also cover any imperfections, such as acne scars, blemishes, or pigmentation, without looking cakey or heavy.

What is important for bridal makeup? ›

It's really important that you look like yourself and feel comfortable – your makeup artist must understand this. You may only want to wear a light coverage makeup base with very softly enhanced eyes and lips, or you may want to wear your favourite bold lipstick!

Should a bride do her own makeup? ›

Our advice would be that unless you are very confident that you can do a great job, don't mind the pressure of having to do it by your self, and have somewhere you can get away to concentrate. Use a great MUA and make sure you look your very best on your wedding day.

When should I start my bridal makeup? ›

For the bride and a bridal party of four, we suggest starting to get ready four to five hours before the ceremony begins. This will provide ample time for hair, makeup, and photos. Add an hour and a half for each additional bridal party member (or subtract the same amount of time for smaller wedding parties).

Bridal makeup should bring out the bride's best look and make her skin glow, even after hours of photos and dancing. Professional makeup artists use different techniques than those found in regular makeup. Priming and contouring are two techniques used to create the perfect look for the bride.

Should bride and bridesmaid makeup match? ›

Bridesmaids don't need to wear the exact same makeup look as the bride, but their looks should be cohesive. You should all look like you're attending the same venue and the same event. If the bride is keeping it super nude and natural, the bridesmaids should do the same.
