Every bride wishes to look her best that day, to be admired, to feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. For this to be possible, you have to consider makeup as being one of the ingredients of a glamorous look and of wonderful photos. Some facial treatments can also do wonders for your look. For brides living in Georgia microdermabrasion centers are quite widespread, so you won’t have trouble in finding one.

What you need to consider for the bridal makeup:

1. Go to your cosmetician for advice. She will know if you need a cosmetic treatment and she will give it to you, for your skin to look its best.

2. Eyebrows: tweeze them two days prior the wedding day. In this way, you’ll be able to prevent irritations.

3. Makeup basis: apply it with a special sponge, or with your fingers, and make sure it is uniform and skin-like. Avoid too intense colors, because they will make you look unnatural. The powder will be your friend in the wedding day: you’ll have to refresh your makeup from time to time (emotions, dancing… all these can spoil your makeup if you are not careful)

4. Eyes makeup: match the colors with your skin, hair and eyes color. Beware at glossy products, as they will be very evident in natural light. You don’t want to look like a bronze statue, do you? A white basis applied on your upper lid, gives more luminosity to your look. For more intensity, you can use an eye liner for the superior lid. To atenuate a bit the effect, wipe the line with a brush.

Tips: if you think you are going to cry, don’t apply makeup on the inferior lid. Make sure your mascara is waterproof, and use it with scarcity.

5. Use powder blush to give your face a healthy look. Choose a pale shade (like pink or peach) and make it perfectly match your skin.

6. Lips: they will be very busy with kissing, so your lips makeup must resist to all that stress. Use a lip liner, then apply a longlasting lipstick. Match the color with your hair shade, with your face makeup and with your flowers bouquet.

Special tip for good looking photos:

This is the difference between the bridal makeup and the day-to-day one: your wedding moments are going to be immortalized in photos which you are going to show many years after the happy day. Makesure your makeup has enough contrast, so your face looks attractive in the photos. Ideally, you’ll want to organize a “rehearsal” session: put on your wedding makeup and ask somebody to take you some pictures, then look at the result and write down what makeup products, colors, style you used, so you can redo it in the wedding morning.
