Tips For Healthy and Beautiful Hair

Posted on: 16 March 2015

There are few bigger days than your wedding day. You will be the center of attention for guests and also for your photographer, so you definitely want to look great from head to toe. Before you head to the chapel to say your vows, you should consider these helpful tips to make sure you look stunning and take gorgeous pictures for your big event.

Don't Go Overboard

You definitely want to look extra glamorous on your wedding day, but you also don't want to look like you're heading out for a night of clubbing either. Simple blush, a beautiful neutral eye shadow shade, and pretty pink lips will make you look feminine without looking too over the top. Avoid wearing dark eyeliner or anything too loud like glitter or shimmering colors. Highlight your natural beauty with cosmetic accents that will add a pop of color, minus the heavy makeup.

Hire a Professional

Most people do their makeup at home every day before they head out the door, but your wedding day is super special, so hire a professional to help get you prepped. A pro knows exactly how to shade and highlight your face, giving it depth and making it look glamorous for photos. They can also help decide which colors will work best depending on the style and color of your dress and whether or not most photos will be taken inside or outside. A professional can help you look your best, while using their makeup application skills to ensure everything goes on the right way.

Be Prepared for Anything

You will be dancing, talking, standing, and maybe even perspiring on your wedding day. Since makeup can run and fade, it's a good idea to use products that will last all day. Waterproof makeup and mascara is definitely recommended, especially because you'll probably cry (tears of joy of course)! You should also make sure to apply long wearing foundation and eye shadow colors so you don't have to reapply. Instead of lip gloss or lipstick, try a lip stain that's designed to stay on better and longer without you having to fuss over it every hour.

Don't Forget the Groom

The bride isn't the only one who will be in the photos. Of course, your handsome groom will be in most of them as well! While you obviously won't be applying makeup to your man, suggest a little facial powder to help even his skin tone and reduce shine. Since it will be a long day, suggest he carry a tube of lip balm with sunscreen to help keep his kissable lips protected as well. Most importantly, relax, smile, and enjoy your special day!
