Beautiful Blushing Bride or Bridezilla?

Bride to Be? – Make up tips to be the Beautiful Bride ..and avoid any post wedding day grief…

 

On your wedding day, you want to look fabulous-but remain true to yourself. You don’t want to look like a stranger in your wedding photos.

 

Don’t usually wear makeup? Bend your rule just a little. At the very least, your skin should look flawless and glowing.

 

Take a tip from Beauty Boost: before applying foundation, apply a transparent gel or "primer." It forms a barrier between your skin and makeup, so makeup stays on and colors stay true. It also keeps makeup out of your pores.

 

Define your eyes, aiming for a natural look:

 

 

• Shape eyes softly with eyeliner - smudgeable powder liner works best. Avoid a harsh line.

 

• Curl your lashes. Hold the curler against dry lashes for five seconds, then apply 2-3 layers of mascara (waterproof, of course).

 

• Working with a professional? Have her add individual false lashes in the outside corners for impact.

 

Choose your eye shadow carefully!

 

• Avoid trendy colors. (Although blue is in right now, photos will look dated later.)

 

• Avoid bright colors-they scream out of photos.

 

• Stay away from gray; it makes skin look ashy.

 

• Choose a true color. Neutrals are best.

 

 

Make the most of your lips:

 

• Lip liner frames your lips and holds color in. But choose a natural color - nothing too dark.

 

• For best results, brush your lipstick on. Add a small amount of gloss, applied to the center of your bottom lip, for a special glow.

 

• Avoid pale, pale colors-your lips will fade into your dress.

 

• Keep a balance between your lips and your eyes.

 

Love to tan? Go easy-too much tanning looks artificial and harsh in photos.

 

Have your wedding makeup professionally applied. The difference in front of the camera is startling.

 

Take a few days off from makeup before the wedding-give your skin a rest.

 

Sleep, sleep, sleep (if you can)! Nothing helps your skin more.
