Make Up Tips for you on your Wedding Day

Ladies, here are 13 of my favorite Make Up Tips for you on your Wedding Day!

1. Waterproof It-make sure you choose a mascara that's waterproof; it lasts longer and withstands tears.

2. On the Line- Charcoal, navy, or mahogany are your best options for eyeliner. Black or brown may look too severe, especially if your wedding will be held during the daytime and/or outdoors.

3. Lighten Up-Use a white shadow as a highlighter on your brow bone if you have light skin; a warmer light peach or vanilla shade will suit deeper complexions.

4. Shade Your Brows- Define your brows with a pencil or shadow that matches your hair color.

5. Get the Red Out- Pop an eye drop if your eyes look red or tired, but stick with a brand you've used before to avoid unwelcome surprises!

6. Sweet Cheeks- Don't forget your blush! A pop of color on your cheeks is like an instant facelift. For fairer skin, a pink tone will work; those with deeper skin tones can choose a rosier hue.
7. Zap a Zit- If you have a blemish or breakout just before your wedding day, keep your hands away from your face -- the spot will heal more neatly if you leave it alone. In the case of a sudden monstrous pimple, see your dermatologist and ask for an cortisone injection that will shrink it instantly.

8. Blend, Blend, Blend- Blend well all over, especially at the corners of your eyes, since cameras pick up visible makeup lines.

9. Get a Good View- For your makeup application, natural light is best. If possible, set up an application table near a window. If there's no natural light available, use a superbright lamp -- halogens work best.

10. Even It Out- Use bronzing powder on your chest and neck if you need to even out your skin tone -- it will make your skin more luminous and ensure that your face doesn't look too different from your body.

11. Watch That Gown- Don't, however, use foundation on your decolletage -- it can stain your dress.

12. Brighten Up- Choose a lip color that's a bit bright. Pale nude or brown lip hues can make you appear washed out in photos, particularly since you'll be wearing white. If you normally wear a neutral hue, wear it as your base with a pink or rose color on top. If you normally wear dark lipstick, use that as your base and apply a lighter sheer pink on top to give you a lift.

13. Greet 'Em With a Grin- You can have the softest lips and the perfect lipstick, but if your teeth are yellow, you won't want to flash a smile. There are lots of safe, reliable over-the-counter teeth-whitening systems, which all whiten teeth by a few shades.
