Get ready for a long day of looking ever the blushing bride for the cameras. Don't break a sweat with these simple, quick and easy steps for you to look radiantly beautiful on your wedding day.
Weather- and emotion-proof
Besides the elements, your makeup will have to brave the gamut of emotions you'll be experiencing on your big day. Your makeup artist should have the right tools in his arsenal to ensure it stands up to sweat, sebum and tears.
Work with the weather
An updo will help keep you cool in hot weather while curls and waves will cooperate better with humidity than, say, a pristinely slicked-back hairstyle.
Luminous, not matte
Gone are the days of heavily powdered faces — a matte finish looks awfully dated.Today's makeup is all about a healthy golden glow, which not only looks more natural but also youthful.
Glow, not glitter
Every woman wants to be a radiant bride, and the best way to achieving it is with subtle shimmer and a discreet pearlescence. Avoid makeup with large specks of glitter — it shows up poorly in photographs.
Look like yourself
Go for a makeup look that you are comfortable in and remember that classic and chic is always a wiser choice than edgy and trendy.
Remember teeth and nails
The finer details could make or break your look — get your teeth whitened if necessary and schedule a pampering manicure and pedicure right before your wedding.
