Wedding Day Make-up

The key to wedding day make-up is to look like yourself, only better. These tips will help you shine on your wedding day as well as photograph beautifully.
1. Choose colors that are brighter than you usually wear, not darker.
2. Wear a yellow-based foundation.
This will flatter your face in pictures, no matter what your ethnic background or skin tone.
1. Choose matte, solid-color makeup instead of frosted, iridescent and pearled colors and glosses which can make your face look greasy.
2. Apply powder with a puff to get enough coverage to keep your skin from looking shiny.
3. Buff the power in with your hands to help it last longer.
4. Powder your neck and shoulders
as well to keep them from looking shiny in pictures and blend better with your face. Don't use makeup, however because this will rub off on your dress.
5. Get a facial at least two weeks before your wedding date to allow redness or puffiness to subside.
6. Each night, gently brush Vaseline-coated lips with a soft toothbrush to remove scales or flakes.
7. Avoid new beauty products for two weeks before your wedding. The last thing you need is an allergic reaction on your wedding day.
8. Use a humidifier in your room at night to boost skin's moisture level.
9. Use lip balm with sun screen to keep your lips from getting dry or cold sores.
10. Experiment with a variety of eye pencil colors, both smudged and hard-lined to find the best look for your eyes.
11. Take off makeup every night so pores don't have a chance to get clogged.
12. In the morning, splash icy cold water on your face to reduce puffiness and tighten skin.
13. Drink eight glasses of water daily to detoxify and hydrate your skin.
14. Deep condition your hair once a week. Start now!
