1. Plan Ahead

With all the planning that goes into a wedding, some details may end up taking a backseat to others. Don’t let your makeup be one of them. Whether you are planning on having a makeup artist or doing it yourself, take a few moments to test out your makeup plans. This will give you a chance to work out any kinks that you may encounter, whether it be colors to avoid or waterproof mascara that ends up being not so waterproof.

2. Don’t Push the Envelope

As much as your wedding is your special day, it isn’t the time to experiment with new looks. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look beautiful. Makeup should enhance your beauty, not take away from it.

Planning ahead is the first step, but staying committed to one look is the next. Don’t decide last minute to get overly glammed up or use loose glitter as eyeshadow to add a little bling. You know what colors and styles work best for you.

3. Look Natural

Don’t forget that you should want to look like YOU on your wedding day.  With that being said, you don’t want to be head to toe in thick foundation, eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush. Keep it fresh and simple. Use techniques to enhance your features, making you look like your best self.

Remember, the day will be long, including your ceremony, reception, dinner, dancing, etc., so keeping a fresh face will be much easier with low key makeup. And the last thing you need to be worried about is how you look!
