Don't Try Anything New...

Don't Try Anything New... Trying a new facial cream, mask, makeup, or acne treatment too close to your wedding day may make your skin break out in a rash. I know I don't want red spots on my face in my wedding pictures. And I'm sure you don't as well. Brides.comrecommends that if you want to try a new product on your face start at least six months before the day of your wedding and consult a dermatologist if you don't already have one.

Which Color Looks Best...

Which Color Looks Best... If you plan on a DIY makeup look for your big day you should do a test run with different colors to find those that suit you best. Try to find a foundation like L'Oreal's True Matchthat matches the skin tone of your face and neck, you don't want a pink face while your neck turns up white in pictures. Brides.comsuggests putting your makeup on darker than you would for an everyday look because you might look washed out in photos. If you're planning on an outdoor wedding, always check to see if your makeup has an SPF to protect your skin. For good tips on how to get your look started stop by a department store makeup counter like** **Macy's Beautysection.

Leave That Blemish Be...

Leave That Blemish Be... If you have a problem pimple a few days before the wedding or even the night before leave it be. Trying to pop it may make it even worse. I know that to be true for myself when I try to get rid of some; they get bigger and leave a red mark on my face. If you would like to start a blemish treatment so you look clear on your wedding day try Neutrogena's SkinID. It is made specifically for you and the type of skin you have and if you have few or many pimples.

Don't Forget Your Beauty Kit...

Don't Forget Your Beauty Kit... Wedding days are filled with surprises and some are not so good surprises. That is why every bride should pack an emergency kit for surprise pantyhose holes, loose curls, chipped nails, and Aunt Betty's makeup that rubbed off on your cheek! Include items like tissues, lipstick, nail polish, bobby pins, dental floss, toothpaste, a hair brush, deodorant, eye drops, and all the makeup that you put on in the morning so you can refresh your look for photos. This one from ReadySetBride.comcomes with Tylenol, Alka Seltzer, hairspray, lotion, band-aids, tweezers, and much more.

I hope you'll add a Bridal Mini to the "Must have's" for Bridal Makeup. This is a new item for brides that looks like the top half of the wedding gown. They can wear it when testing makeup. I'm happy to send a sample for your review.

Very nice and well explained bridal beauty tips. I think while dressing up one should try to spruce as natural as she can. Choose your foundation and compact powder to match your own skin tone. Never choose a shade more than one shade darker or lighter than your own skin tone.

Very true, though I think that Anne Hathaway pic is photoshopped. But you're right: NEVER try anything new too close to your wedding. they're notorious for having things go wrong, don't try to purposely invoke Murphy's Law!

Thank you Katie! :)

Hi. I wished to drop you a quick note expressing my thanks. I've been following your website for a month or more and get acquired quite a number of good information and also liked the way you've set up your web site. I'm attempting to perform my own personal website even so feel its too general and I have to focus on scaled-down subjects.

It's odd how every bride-to-be suddenly turns orange. Great piece! :)

That photo of Anne is hilarious! These are great tips. I actually just got a message from a friend asking for help about beauty tips on her big day. Will send her this link. :)

you could even try the ganozhi skin care series 3o days in advance of the wedding,

Hi Ladies, did you happen to see Bride Wars? I saw it in the movies when it came out. It was pretty funny the things they did to each other. Kate Hudson had blue hair! I wonder how long it took Hathaway to get that color on and off her skin! @Meream, I hope your friend finds some helpful tips...thanks for sending her the link! @Cafe Fashionista, Thank you and I checked out your blog...I love elephants! :)
