On the day of your wedding you want your makeup to look perfect: not too much and not too little. The most important thing is that you feel good about yourself. The makeup should enhance your beauty, not hide it. Below you will find a few helpful tips to help you look and feel beautiful on your wedding day. |

-
If you've decided to go for a facial, do it at least
one month prior to your wedding. If you decide to have
another facial done before your wedding, be sure to do
it at least two weeks before the big day.
-
If your skin is prone to breakouts, visit a
dermatologist several months before the big day.
-
Drink lots of water! Not only is it refreshing, but
it will also flush out your skin.
-
Have your eyebrows plucked and shaped at least a
week before your wedding. Don't pluck them the day of
your wedding or you may end up with red bumps.
-
On the day of your wedding, you want your makeup to
look natural. So be sure to blend your makeup well (go
easy on the blush). Many brides think they have to go
extra heavy on the makeup for their photographs. This is
not true.
|
-
Consider hiring a professional bridal
makeup artist that specializes in wedding
make-up. They have the experience to make
sure you look your best in person and in
your photographs.
-
When choosing a lipstick, be sure to
select one that lasts. Be sure you don't
overline your lips with a dark lipliner.

 Beauty Tip:
Before walking down the aisle, have a friend check for lipstick on your teeth. |

-
If you've decided to do your own makeup, don't run out
the day before your wedding to choose your makeup. Visit
a cosmetic counter about 1-2 months before your wedding
and have the consultant try different colors to see what
looks best on you. Remember, you want to feel beautiful.
-
Don't forget the waterproof mascara (just in case
you get a little teary-eyed). Or you could get your
eyelashes tinted to prevent any mascara runs.
-
Use facial powder to prevent any shine on your face
- be careful not to use too much.
-
Keep your lipstick, facial powder and mascara in
your purse in case you need to freshen up.
-
If (I hate to say it) you happen to get a pimple on
the day of your wedding, do NOT pop it. Use Visene (it's
suppose to get the red out). Just dot the pimple with
Visene and cover with concealer. Then use foundation and
loose powder.
-
Make sure you wear a button-down shirt when you have
your makeup done. This way you won't have to pull the
shirt over your head and take the chance that you may
smudge up your makeup. Also, before slipping into your
gown, put a towel or sheet over your face so you won't
get any makeup on your gown.
