Makeup Tricks & tips
Your make up should be an enhancement of what you normally wear. For example, if you usually go for the natural look, stick to natural colors but slightly stronger. You don’t want to try out blue mascara and red lipstick! Remember your fiancé is marrying you, so he should at least recognize you! Saying that you should define your features stronger than what you usually do, so they show up in photographs. You should feel comfortable in the make up you are wearing; this is not the time to try out anything drastic. If you are having your make up done professionally, make sure you have a practice run before your big day. A good idea is to have a dress rehearsal and take photos, so you can then check that it will look good.
A dear friend of mine who recently got married, she cried the whole way through. Waterproof mascara is a must!
You want your make up to last all day. Artificial lashes give a glamorous look. fabulous long lasting make up items around, which will ensure that you don’t need to “touch up” during the day. Believe me you won’t have time to re-apply your make up.
Shape your brows
Visit a specialist, especially if you want to reshape your brows, Over plucked brows will need time to grow in. Try threading (hairs are wrapped with thread and pulled), or find an aesthetician who pairs waxing with tweezing to shape brows better. Go for follow-ups every three weeks.
Brighten your smile
First, get a teeth cleaning, even if you’re not due for one. Drugstore whiteners, like strips and gels, take about three weeks to work.
Pack an emergency kit
Fill a cosmetics bag with supplies: tissues , a nail file, dental floss, breath mints, and bobby pins. Ask your makeup artist for pressed powder, lipstick, and concealer to put in a custom makeup palette. Also, bring your nail polish for quick fixes.
