Wedding Day Beauty Tips


The Details Make The Difference


Summer Wedding Fashion



A bride on her wedding day is already beautiful. But the bride feeling that she looks her best is important. The experts agree that when it comes to makeup, there are six basic cosmetic components:




Foundation — Foundation is the key to keeping makeup looking fresh. Consider your face to be the painter's canvas. A nice smooth base is essential before applying the other layers. Experts suggest using a slightly heavier foundation than usual.



Powder — Once the foundation is dry, apply loose powder with a makeup brush. Be liberal, since flash photography can make you look shiny. (You might consider keeping a powder compact handy for quick touch-ups.)


Mascara — Mascara is essential to bring out your eyes. Try using an eyelash curler before applying mascara to bring out your lashes and to make your eyes look bigger. Since tears may be part of the day, waterproof mascara is a must.


Blush — Blush should be natural looking. Choose colors that complement your skin tone and blend well. Remember the goal is for your family and friends to notice you - not your makeup.


Lipstick — Keeping your lips consistent with the rest of your makeup is important. However, since lips tend to fade away in photographs, using a shade or two darker than you would ordinarily wear is appropriate. Also, to ensure that it lasts, use a lip liner and apply lipstick with a lip brush. Finish lips by blotting them lightly with powder, then apply another coat of lipstick.


Concealer — Concealer should be used where necessary.

Other Tips:




Don't forget to apply powder and blush on skin exposed by low necklines.


Never match your makeup to your clothing, handbag, jewelry or any other accessory.


Treat yourself to a makeup lesson. Everyone can benefit from expert advice.


Avoid waxing and facials right before the wedding. Give your face five days off before the big event.

Last, but not least, don't experiment with a new look on your wedding day. If you've never worn fire engine red lipstick, don't try it now. Your makeup should look natural and reflect your personal style. Stick to a classic look. Avoiding trends will make you look timeless.
