Don't wait until a week before the wedding to think about skincare. You need to a skin care routine. To make sure that your skin looks its best on your wedding day, drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, and exercise on a regular basis.

Do not get a facial within a week before your wedding. In fact, don't make any major changes in your skin care routine during the few weeks before your wedding.

If you get a pimple, don't pick. Pure Aloe Vera is great for a breakout.

Avoid a lot of sun before your wedding. Sunburns, peeling skin, and tan lines look really bad with a wedding dress. Your wedding day is not the time to experiment with make up. If you're not confident about applying makeup, a make up artist can help.

Evening Vs. Daytime Wedding Make up -- Stronger makeup is better for nighttime lighting, which tends to dull makeup. A natural look is better for daytime weddings.Since and off white dress makes your skin look softer, you can use more striking makeup. but look for softer colors with a white dress. The shorter the dress, the more simple you should have your hair and makeup.

Before meeting with a makeup artist, or buying makeup, look through bridal magazines Tear out pages that you like and don’t like. Bring these pictures to your makeup artist along with a picture of your wedding dress. Do this at least two weeks before your wedding. Make sure that the makeup artist writes everything down. If you are doing your own makeup have a couple of dry runs well before your big day

Make up for brides must be special without being overwhelming. A good choice for weddings is mineral makeup since it provides natural glow with great coverage!. You may not wear false eyelashes in your everyday lie, but they will really make your eyes stand out in photos. Bronzers give you a glow on your wedding day. Experiment before the wedding day! Lipstick should have a tinge of red this season. It will provide a striking contrast to your wedding gown. But proceed with caution. There are so many shades of red that you really want to get it right when it comes to your wedding look. Visit the beauty department for a color test!Wedding stress may show up on your skin!

Be Yourself

Make sure that your foundation matches your skin tone exactly. If you use a bold red lipstick, use more subtle eye makeup and vise versa. Avoid fads; in 20 years time hot pink lipstick will date your wedding photos. Don’t use a lip liner that is much darker than your lipstick or lip-gloss. It looks harsh and unnatural in photos. Have makeup remover ready for any accidents.

Have your eyebrows groomed a week before the wedding. Fill in your eyebrows, if needed, with an eyebrow pencil shade that's slightly lighter than your eyebrows. Brush through with an eyebrow brush or a clean toothbrush for a more natural look.

For lush eyelashes, use an eyelash curler before applying your mascara. Also, use a waterproof mascara. Apply two coats of mascara; let the first coat dry before applying the second coat. Have an eye makeup remover that also takes off waterproof mascara. When you finish applying your makeup you may want to apply a little more blush, and then finish with a final brush of loose powder.
