Makeup for Your Quince

On your big day, either have a professional apply your make-up or use professional make-up especially selected for your quinceanera. You don't need to look heavily made-up. Your make-up should enhance the beautiful color of your skin and eyes. Your eyes should sparkle. You should have an overall glow.

One of my favorite tips for quinceaneras is to purchase mineral based make-up. Mineral-based make-up doesn't use unnecessary chemicals and can help keep your skin looking smooth and fresh. I've listed some of my favorites sources for mineral-based make-up on my resource page.

When selecting your make-up colors, get help. Let the make-up artist or consultant see your dress color and the jewelry you will be wearing. This will help her select the best colors for the day.

You will also want to tell the make-up artist what kind of location you have reserved for your quinceanera and the type of lighting. An indoor reception under stage lights requires a very different kind of makeup application than outdoor make-up in natural light.
