Congratulations mama, your not-so-little one is getting married! We’ve been around long enough to understand how stressful a mothers' role can be; our goal is to ease some of your concerns!
What’s most important to us is that all mothers of our brides and grooms feel incredibly confident and comfortable with their look. At Updos For I Dos, our philosophy is simple: we want everyone to feel like their best and most beautiful selves! For our mothers (and actually all clients), this typically means keeping their makeup look pretty similar to their everyday style, just with a little extra polish and glam for the extra big day!
Can Makeup Eliminate Wrinkles?
One thing we often remind our clients is that while makeup can work wonders, it's not about erasing time. Instead, it's about enhancing their best features and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without masking their natural beauty! Our team is highly skilled in working with all skin types, including mature skin, so mothers, grandmothers, and all guests can feel confident that they’re in expert hands!
For our mothers and grandmothers, we often recommend opting for a dewy, hydrating foundation as opposed to a matte finish. A more radiant, luminous base not only looks beautiful, but also brings a youthful glow to more mature skin. We focus on products that provide hydration and a soft, illuminated finish, creating a flawless yet natural look!
Hair & Makeup Trials for MOB’s & MOG’s
If your mom is curious about trying something new, such as Airbrush Makeup or false lashes, we absolutely suggest scheduling a trial run! A makeup trial is a great opportunity for her to explore different styles and products she may not be familiar with. For many moms, airbrushing and lashes are two of the most exciting parts of the experience, as they provide a lightweight and long-lasting finish!
At Updos For I Dos, all of our artists are professionally trained and equipped with products that cater to every skin tone and type. Whether your mom knows exactly what she wants or is still figuring out her style, our team will guide her through the process. A trial will not only allow her to build a relationship with her makeup artist, but will also give her peace of mind about how she’ll look (and more importantly, feel!) on wedding day!
Where to Find Makeup Inspiration Photos for Mothers of the Bride and Groom
Ultimately, our advice to the mothers of the bride and groom is the same as it is to brides and bridal parties, don’t stray too far from what makes you feel like yourself. After all, you want to recognize yourself in the wedding photos! Search for inspiration photos that match your own features, whether it's blue eyes or a particular skin tone, and communicate with your makeup artist so they are able to create a makeup look that will have you dancing down the aisle!
At Updos For I Dos, we take great pride in our incredibly thorough hiring process! Brides, moms, and all other members receiving services can truly enjoy their hair and makeup experience with our team, because they know they are in the most capable hands! Our team would love the opportunity to work with you, your mom(s), and your best friends. If you’re ready to say, “I DO!”, to our team of bridal hair and makeup experts, follow this link here!
