This is an article written by me for "Hot Mom's And Cute Kids Magazine." You can see all my beauty articles on my website web.mac.com/karen_cecilia or look for my many articles on www.mybbf.com Every bride wants to look radiant on her wedding day. But how do you get that great makeup application that will look flawless, last all day and look great in your photos? Here are five great tips on how to look great to that last dance. 1- Take care of your skin. If possible start on a monthly facial regime months before. If that's not a possibility start on you own at home regime. Remember to stay very hydrated even if you have oily skin. Use a lightweight moisturizer. You makeup will only look as good as the skin you are putting it on. 2- You want to "pop" your eyes. They will be center stage so play them up. This is the day for waterproof mascara. If not a mascara wearer than apply one coat. If a faithfull user go for a few coats. It will bring out the eyes. Apply some individual false lashes at the ends for a little drama. 3- Brides allways like to have a bronze glow. Apply a powder bronzer after all your makeup is applied.Don't skip out on the blush. Bronzer is an addition to blush. Sweep a light dusting over cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. Than not using more product sweep over jawline and upper chest. Make sure your face and neck are the same shade. 4- Frame your face with well groomed eyebrows. You can wax, tweeze or thread. This will be another way to "pop" your eyes and give you a polished look. 5-You will be kissing alot. Not only your new hubby but your guests. You want them to leave with a great impression of your wedding not but not on their face. Go for a long wear lipstick. Many cosmetic companies make them. Apply color. Let dry than moisturize with the top coat they provide. This is a great way to have kissable lips all day long and not have to fuss with a touchup even after that sip of Champagne. These are some tips to being a radiant bride. Or you may want to hire a pro and fret not you will allways look back on your pictures and smile.
