You don’t want to much, nor too little, a natural look is very important. This is not the time to be experimenting with new looks. Your makeup should enhance your beauty not hide it. Here are some tips to help with you achieve your pefect bridal makeup:

• If you are having a facial done, make sure it is at least two weeks prior to your wedding.
• If your skin is prone to breakouts, see your dermatologist 3 or 4 months before your wedding
• Staying hydrated is important to keeping you looking refreshed. Drinking lots of water will also flush out impurities from the skin.
• Eyebrows should be shaped 5-7 days before the wedding. Be sure not to pluck on your wedding day because you could land up with unattractive red bumps that are difficult to cover.
• On your wedding day blend your makeup well and let set. You do not need extra makeup to please the camera – that’s a myth.
• Choose a lipstick that lasts. Apply just prior to walking down the isle. Go easy on the lip liner. Be sure to check that you don’t have lipstick on your teeth.
• Line and fill mouth with a neutral pencil to make lipstick stay on longer.
• To lengthen wearing time of your lipstick, apply a light layer of powder over your lipstick then apply another layer of lipstick
• If you are doing your own makeup, see a beauty consultant and purchase your make up at least 3 months in advance. Then practice until you’ve got the perfect makeup.
• Waterproof mascara is a great idea just incase you get a little weepy.
• A very light application of facial powder will set your makeup and reduce
• Keep your powder, mascara, and lipstick in your purse so you can freshen up at a moments notice.
• If you discover that dreaded pimple on your wedding day, do not squeeze it! Just apply a drop of visene to get the red out, cover with concealer, and apply foundation.
• Wear a button shirt when applying your makeup so you don’t mess up your makeup. When slipping into your gown put a towel over your face so you don’t get makeup on your wedding dress.
• Avoid glittery or dewy looks – these are not very receptive for photographs and you may come out looking greasy
• If your wedding is outside be sure to apply sunscreen first
• Water based foundation looks most natural in photos
• For eye contouring, apply a dark but neutral in the crease of the eye. You can line the upper and lower lids (optional) with brown or grey shadow, smudging the outer corners
• If you need to make your eyes look wider or brighter, use a white pencil to line the inside of the lower lids.
• Don't get too much sun before your wedding. Sunburns, peeling skin and tan lines can sabotage your special day.
• Make certain your wedding photographer is “not” using grainy film, because no matter how good your makeup is, with grainy film it will not look good
• Make sure your wedding photographer is using high quality film so your photos do your wedding makeup justice
• For your makeup to look good in your photos, it must be completely matte and in neutral tones, brides usually prefer a little color. Pastels look soft and pretty, but avoid glitter, shimmer and frosted eyeshadows.
• Shine is the #1 enemy for photos.
• Don’t apply white or black eye shadow
• Olive complexions should not use gray shades
• Pale complexions should not use vibrant colors.
