On the day of your wedding you want your makeup to look
perfect: not too much and not too little. The most important thing
is that you feel good about yourself. The makeup should enhance
your beauty, not hide it. Below you will find a few helpful tips
to help you look and feel beautiful on your wedding day.

-
If you've decided to go for a facial, do it at least one month
prior to your wedding. If you decide to have another facial done
before your wedding, be sure to do it at least two weeks before
the big day.
-
If your skin is prone to breakouts, visit a dermatologist
several months before the big day
-
Drink lots of water! Not only is it refreshing, but it will also
flush out your skin.
-
Have your eyebrows plucked and shaped at least a week before
your wedding. Don't pluck them the day of your wedding or you
may end up with red bumps.
-
On the day of your wedding, you want your makeup to look
natural. So be sure to blend your makeup well (go easy on the
blush). Many brides think they have to go extra heavy on the
makeup for their photographs. This is not true.
-
Consider hiring a professional
RI bridal make-up artist that specializes in wedding
make-up. They have the experience to make sure you look you best
in person and in your photographs.
-
When choosing a lipstick, be sure to select one that lasts.
(Before walking down the aisle, have a friend check for lipstick
on your teeth.) Be sure you do not overline your lips with a
dark lipliner.
-
If you've decided to do your own makeup, don't run out the day
before your wedding to choose your makeup. Go to a cosmetic
counter about a month or two before your wedding and have the
consultant try different colors to see what looks best on you.
Remember, you want to feel beautiful.
-
Don't forget the waterproof mascara (just in case you get a
little teary-eyed). Or you could get your eyelashes tinted to
prevent any mascara runs.
-
Use facial powder to prevent any shine on your face. But be
careful not to use too much.
-
Keep your lipstick, facial powder and mascara in your purse (in
case you need to freshen up).
-
If (I hate to say it) you happen to get a pimple on the day of
your wedding, do NOT pop it. Use Visene (it's suppose to get the
red out). Just dot the pimple with Visene and cover with
concealer. Then use foundation and loose powder.
-
Make sure you wear a button-down shirt when you have your makeup
done. This way you won't have to pull the shirt over your head
and take the chance that you may mess up your makeup. Also,
before slipping into your gown, put a towel or sheet over your
face so you won't get any makeup on your gown.
