Every bride wants to look beautiful on her wedding day. Let our makeup and bridal hairstyle how-tos and ideas help you create the look you love
We've got all the great ideas, advice, and local connections you need to create the most beautiful look for you on your wedding day
Makeup
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 MA bridal makeup 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.
