Tips and Advice
EYES
In the morning of your wedding day, check you eyes for any signs of redness, especially if you had a sleepless night
If there is any redness in your eyes, it should be eliminated: red eyes do not photograph well. Use Visine Eye Drops (can be found at any pharmacy) to clear the redness instantly
Your eyes will be bright and shiny and look good in photos!
LIPS
Lips tend to go dry when we are under stress or nervous
If the lips are dry and flaky, the lipstick will never go smoothly, your wedding makeup will not look perfect and it will show in photos.
Prepare your lips by using lip balm for 2 weeks before the wedding 3 times a day and overnight, including the morning of your wedding day, when you should keep re-applying it until the makeup artist applies lip color.
Vitamin C Lip Protection can be used under your favorite lipstick to nourish your lips without color fading away
FACE
To look your best on your wedding day, you have to start preparing your skin in advance: check your skin for blemishes, redness, dryness and any flaws. Use good moisturizing cream to eliminate dryness; have a couple of facials if needed; if you have a more serious condition, consult a dermatologist way in advance.
If you want to have a couple of facials before your wedding (which is a good idea), have the last session at least one week prior to the wedding, so all possible redness would calm down.
TO TAN OR NOT TO TAN
If you decide to go tanning for your wedding, make sure you are :
1. Not over-doing it
2. Not over-drying your skin.
You have to give it a "trial run" a month or two before the wedding. Check your skin for flaking. Stop tanning sessions at the first sign of dryness or flakiness: if your skin is flaky, no amount of makeup can cover that and your face will not photograph well!
EYEBROW WAXING
To have well-defined eyebrows is CRUCIAL to looking good in photos. You have to decide if you are going to have your eyebrows plucked, waxed or threaded.
All facial waxing (including brow waxing) should be done at least 7 days prior to the wedding: keep in mind that unexpected skin irritation might occur, and it might not heal in less than 7 days. You may want to opt for plucking or threading your eyebrows instead. Consult a licensed professional about your eyebrows.
