It is so important for your makeup to look breathtaking for your wedding day. No matter if you plan to marry on a beach at noon or at night under the stars, by keeping your makeup simple you will look and feel great. You don't want too much, or too little, a natural look is the key. This obviously isn't the time to be experimenting with a new look. Remember to let your makeup enhance your beauty and not hide it. Here are some guidelines to help you achieve your perfect bridal makeup look:
If you decide to get a facial done, be sure it is at least two weeks prior to your wedding.

If your skin easily breaks out, see your dermatologist 3 or 4 months prior to your wedding
Keeping hydrated is important to keeping a refreshed look. Drinking lots of water also flushes out impurities from the skin.

Get your eyebrows shaped 5-7 days before the wedding. Don't pluck on your wedding day because you could end up with unattractive red bumps that are tough to cover.

On the day of your wedding blend your makeup well and let it set. You don't need extra makeup to please the camera, that is a myth.

Choose a long lasting lipstick. Apply right before walking down the isle. Go easy on the lip liner. Make sure to check that you don't have lipstick on your teeth. Line and fill your lips with a neutral pencil to make lipstick stay on longer.

To lengthen the wearing time of your lipstick, apply a light layer of powder over the lipstick and then apply another layer over top.

If you decide to do your own makeup, see a beauty consultant and buy your make up at least 3 months in advance. Then practice until you can do it in your sleep.

Waterproof mascara is the best choice, just incase you get a little weepy.
A very light dusting of facial powder will set your makeup and reduce the shinies.

Keep your powder, mascara, and lipstick in your purse so you can freshen up at a moments notice.

If you wake up with that a pimple on your wedding day, don't squeeze it! Just apply a drop of visene to get the red down, cover with concealer, and apply foundation like normal. Don't do anything that will draw attention to it. Sometimes trying too hard to cover it will enhance it!

Wear a button up shirt when applying your makeup so you don't mess it up by pulling a shirt across you face. When slipping into your gown put a towel over your face so you don't get makeup on your wedding dress.

Avoid glittery or dewy looks as these are not very receptive for photographs and you may come out looking greasy, never mind being embarrassed in ten years when you look back at your pictures. A classic look is always the best.
If your wedding is outside be sure to apply sunscreen first.

Water based foundation looks most natural in photos, but if you have access to an airbrush, that should be your first choice.

For eye contouring, apply a dark but neutral shade in the crease of the eye. You can line the upper and lower lids (optional) with brown or grey shadow, smudging the outer corners.

If you would like to make your eyes look wider or brighter, use a white pencil to line the inside of the lower lids.

Don't get too much sun before your wedding. Sunburns, peeling skin and tan lines can sabotage your special day.

Be certain your wedding photographer is NOT using grainy film, because it doesn't matter how good your makeup is, with grainy film it will not look good.
Be sure your wedding photographer is using high quality film so your photos do your wedding makeup justice.

In order for your makeup to look good in your pictures, it must be completely matte and in neutral tones, brides usually prefer a little color. Pastels look soft and pretty, but avoid glitter, shimmer and frosted eye shadows.

Shine is the #1 enemy for any pictures.
Don't apply white or black eye shadow.
Olive complexions should not use gray shades.
Pale complexions should not use vibrant colors.
If you really want to relieve stress you can have a makeup artist do your wedding day makeup. If you enjoy doing your own makeup but need some more tips, visit a makeup consultant.
It's your day! You are going to look simply beautiful!
