So much attention is paid to the dress, the flowers, the bridesmaids, even the shoes: but don't forget the makeup! Because most of us wear makeup on a daily basis, its importance seems to get lost in the shuffle. However, keep in mind that there will be lots of photographs taken on your Big Day and most of the attention will be on you and how beautiful you look, so makeup is actually vitally important: here are some quick tips.
--Stay true to yourself
Your wedding day is probably not the best time to experiment with new looks or to go for high drama when you are a "natural girl." The idea behind wedding day makeup is to enhance your natural beauty: not cover it up or hide it. You want your husband-to-be to recognize the gal he loves when you walk up the aisle.
-- Don't shimmer too much
Although shimmering bronzers, highlighters and light-refractive makeup is all the rage right now, they don't always translate well into photographs. You want to look fresh, but not overly shiny.
--Use your own eye products as much as possible
You don't want to have any unpleasant allergic reactions on your wedding day! Even if you hire a makeup artist, insist on using your own tried and true brand of mascara and especially eye drops. You may just shed happy tears, and any product that could potentially come into contact with your eyes should be one that is familiar to you.
--When in doubt, hire out!
If you are not makeup-savvy or even if you are, why not hire a makeup artist to come create your look on your special day? It will take the pressure off you, you'll look terrific, and you'll have one less thing to worry about. Just be sure to insist on a "practice session" several days before so that you can be confident you'll look your very best.
