Posted in Beauty | 2 comments

Every bride-to-be wants to look her absolute best on her wedding day. Here are some great hair and makeup tips to help you look as stunning as possible!

Eyes

• Use waterproof mascara! It’s pretty much guaranteed that you will shed a few tears at your wedding, so be prepared.
• Try a charcoal eyeliner, black or brown may be too harsh if your wedding is outside or during the day.
• Use a white or peach shadow to highlight your eyebrows.
• Pencil in your eyebrows a tiny bit to contour them.
• Use eyedrops if your eyes are looking tired or red.

Cheeks

• Use your blush! A pop of color on your cheeks will complete your look.
• If you break out before your wedding day, don’t touch it! Leave it alone completely so it can naturally heal.

Lips

• Use teeth whitener if you’re self conscious about your smile.
• Apply a light shade of lipstick or gloss, dark or nude colors can make you look washed out against your white dress.
• Keep you stick or gloss of choice close to you for reapplications!

Hair

• If you’re pressed for time before your wedding starts, have a station for whomever is doing your hair set up.
• Get a professional scalp massage a few days prior to your wedding, it will stimulate the hair follicles… not to mention, it feels nice!

Skin

• If your ceremony is outside, use sunscreen! You may not realize it, but if you’re out in the direct sunlight, you may be getting burnt. Your skin may look pink or red in pictures.
• Use bronzer on your chest and arms to add a slight glow to your skin.

Bonus Tips!

• Use natural light when applying your makeup, that way it won’t look too heavy.
• Sit at eye level to whomever is applying your makeup.
• Watch for your dress when getting makeup done. Or if you put it on after, have help so you don’t smudge anything.
• If your veil needs to come off after the ceremony, make sure you have your hairdresser show someone in your bridal party exactly how to take it off without messing up your hair!
