Wedding Day Beauty

Every bride is a beautiful bride but a little makeup and hairstyling never hurt anyone! The first step to beauty is, of course, a natural glow. Get some sleep, and maybe a spa treatment a few days before your wedding. To really get the best look we recommend using a salon or beauty professional that has worked extensively with brides and bridal parties. Your wedding day is one where you hair and makeup should be flawless and last the day!

Try It Before You Buy It
It almost goes without saying that you should have a total test run of your wedding day look. Make sure and let your hair and makeup professionals see your gown and veil, as well as a sample of the colours of your flowers. Be totally honest with your hair and makeup stylists. There are few days as important as your wedding day so speak up if you are not thrilled with what you see.

Save The Latest Trends For Another Day
Although you may be into bright eye shadows and dramatic eyeliner this year, you may not be so thrilled when you look back at your photos in the future. For your wedding day it is best to stick with makeup which highlights your best features and makes you radiant, without making too much of a statement. Keep your hair simple. You want it to look good with your veil and the cut of your gown.

Don’t Dress Up As Anyone But Yourself
Although most people should keep their hair and makeup understated there are exceptions to the rule. If you haven’t worn understated makeup since you first started experimenting in junior high and your hair is never anything but funky, then your wedding is no time to drastically alter your look. At your wedding you should look like you, at your very best of course.

Waterproof Mascara
If you take one thing away from this article it is this: use waterproof mascara. Even if you are using fake lashes on top, the bottom ones get a light coat of waterproof mascara. You will shed at least one or two tears on your wedding day but that does not mean that you want photographs of yourself with your eyes running down your face. Be safe: use waterproof mascara.

Don’t Forget Skin and Nails
Drink lots of water to keep your skin looking clean and radiant for the big day. You may also want to start getting facials as your wedding day approaches. Don’t wait until your nail appointment on the day before or of your wedding. Begin keeping cuticles neat and tidy as your big day approaches.
