1. Set up a good skincare routine you can trust well in advance. I always recommend Dermalogica to brides because it delivers results and generally doesn't cause reactions.
2. Get your eyebrows shaped and subtley tinted a couple of days out from your wedding but MAKE SURE it's with a beauty therapist you have used before and trust. Beautiful brows will add definition to your face.
3. Choose classic colour palattes such as warm browns or smokey eyes and a soft pink lip....you want something flattering that doesn't date.
4. Carry eye drops in your clutch for fresh faced photos
5.NEVER EVER wear a foundation with SPF...it will ghost you out in the photos...your make up artist should know this..if she doesn't..... find one who does.
6. You may be a natural beauty who "never wears more than a bit of mascara" but for your day I advise you wear at least foundation, blusher, a neutral eyeshadow, brown pencil and mascara...otherwise you won't stand out in photos and will look extremely ordinary next to everyone else in their sunday best.
7. It may sound obvious but waterproof mascara is non-negotiable. You never know when the tear might threaten to take over.
8. A thin slick of liquid liner will highlight eyes without looking too harsh or overdone.
9.Allow plenty of time of the day for everyone to get their makeup done...you don't want a rushed job because you are racing to get to the altar.
10.Eyelash extensions mean you don't have to worry about racoon eyes if you tear up on the day or falsies falling off at a critical moment. These last up to six weeks and will leave you looking lovely all through your honeymoon.
Above all remember to SMILE and enjoy your big day...the most beautiful woman is a lady in love
