Tip of the Week - Wedding Make-Up

It's your wedding day and you want to look more gorgeous than ever. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind so you'll look beautiful throughout the day.



Use waterproof make-up
Chances are, you will cry or sweat during the course of the day and you don't want to pop into the bathroom every hour to touch up your make up. Foundation, eyeliner and mascara should all be waterproof. Think bashful bride, not Alice Cooper.

No Glitter, please.
The movie was dreadful and glitter doesn't look much better in photos. Actually, glitter reflects light and looks like little white spots. Not good.

On mineral make-up
I love mineral make-up and would have never thought that some brands could make a person's skin look ghoulish in photos. When you do your make-up trial run, have your maid-of-honor take a photo (with flash) of you and see how it comes out. If you look like Shrek, have your MUA recommend a different brand.

Wear white during your trial
It's the best way to find out how your wedding day make-up will look against your white wedding dress. Not wearing a white dress? Find a top that matches the shade of your wedding dress to test drive your make-up.



Wear a button down shirt as you're getting ready
When it comes time to slip into your wedding dress, simply unbotton your shirt. No need to pull something over your head messing up your hair and/or make-up.
