Additional Info
USE OF STEAMERS FOR GARMENTS
- Note on HAIR
- Heat and steam/moisture can loosen/straighten curls created with hot tools and cause loss of curl definition or expansion of hair shape for naturally curly/textured hair
- Note on LASHES
- Heat and steam/moisture can straighten lashes after curling and mascara application (especially for lashes that are naturally straight and/or downturned)
- WHAT TO DO
- Assign someone to steam clothing who has not yet had hair and makeup completed
DEALING WITH SHINE AND SWEAT
- For sweat on the face, use a handkerchief to blot sweat off skin. DO NOT WIPE the face. I recommend a darker colored cloth because some makeup may transfer onto it.
- Tissue can be used, but may leave behind flecks of the tissue behind depending on how much moisture there is.
- Use of handheld electric fan to cool down and evaporate sweat droplets.
- Some people incorporate electric fans into their bouquets for outdoor weddings
- For oiliness during the day, use a handkerchief or a blotting sheet to blot oil off skin. DO NOT WIPE the face.
