Make - Up Tips

Being organized and staying focused is definitely the key in remaining calm during the few short months of your engagement. Your gown is beautiful, your hair will be perfect, but what about your makeup? One thing is for sure, you know on your wedding day you want to look and feel your absolute best. Here are some helpful beauty tips to help make your wedding day hassle free.

Your wedding make-up should enhance your features so you look like yourself, only more radiant and beautiful. Stay away from anything trendy or complicated. Fresh, pretty make-up with a natural warmth, has a timeless appeal at the wedding and in your photos for generations to come. For the bride that loves to wear make-up and needs reassurance, consider scheduling a trial with a professional make-up artist well ahead of time. Your make-up artist and you will discuss how to best enhance your features, as well as how to help your skin look great on your special day.

Skin care:

Don't try any new skin regiments right before your wedding. If you've never tried a facial, or waxing, Don't try them right before your wedding. Keep in mind that facials, and electrolysis and waxings should be done at least two week in advance in order to avoid temporary acne and unnecessary mishaps, which takes time to clear up. The best make-up starts with good skin. Getting your skin into a good regiment is important. Remember, your make-up can only look as good as your skin under it. Begin with cleansing your face every night with a gentle cleanser. And never go to sleep with make-up. If your skin is overly dry and flaky or extremely oily, now is the time to tackle the problem. It's a good idea meet with a dermatologist well before your wedding day. You'll be glad you did!

Quick fixes for the bride:

• Emergency crying tips: Brighten red eyes with an off-white eyeliner on the inside of the bottom lid
• Puffy eyes from lack of sleep: A cold compress, using either a tea bag, cucumber, or potato slices, are all very good for reducing puffiness
• You over tweezed your eyebrows: Many girls have a tendency of wearing their eyebrows too thin. Keep in mind that thin eyebrows can be harsh looking, and are not today's look. After prolonged over-tweezing, you will have a very hard time growing them in. So beware! If over done, have them filled in with eyebrow powder. Using small light-handed strokes will achieve a most natural effect

Helpful hints for wedding make-up:

• Brows frame the face so make sure they are defined if need be.
• Having your eyes and face lightly contoured adds a nice dimension to your face and photos.
• Powder helps your make-up stay on, and keeps your face looking matte in photography as well.
• Waterproof mascara is a must to prevent smudging if you would get teary.
• For lips – make sure they are not dry. Apply lip balm for a few days before your wedding day. There is nothing worse then a pretty lipstick on chapped lips. Stay away from brown tone lipsticks. They can make you look washed out when wearing white. Most of all, staying calm is important in order to enjoy planning the wedding and everything that goes along with it. May you always be a source of joy to all your friends and family!!
