Wedding Day Makeup Preparation
Every married woman knows that getting ready for a wedding can be more than a bit flustering. Even if you have hired a wedding planner, there is always so much for the bride to do. If you’re a bride or a friend to a bride please be advised that brides should ensure that in all the running around she is taking the time to take of herself, her body and her skin so that she has a natural radiant glow on the day. The worst thing is for a bride to look harried and worried on her wedding day!
For natural wedding day radiance:
Sleep at least six to eight hours everyday! Okay, I know this may be a tall order for a busy bride but rest is important to renew your energy and give your skin the chance to revitalise itself. You would also get rid of bags and dark circles under the eyes that are induced by sleeplessness.
Maintain a well balanced diet. This may be another task for a bride always on the run but you must treat your body well for it to treat you well. Pack fruits into your bag like apples, oranges and grapes so that if you miss a proper lunch you can always eat them on the go. Carry a water bottle as well so that you can easily drink the eight glasses a day that you need. A hydrated body means supple and smooth skin.
Exercise for 30 minutes, three times a week. Even if this means taking a brisk walk or jog, do it. Your circulation needs to be pumping so that your skin can be healthy. Besides, that flush to your cheeks is the perfect colour for the blush you would choose for your wedding day makeup.
Six months in advance, schedule monthly facials with your aesthetician. By your wedding day, your skin would be healthy and glowing.
Invest in an eye cream to combat darkness, puffiness and wrinkles well in advance of your big day. Put it on nightly so that you can awaken to visible lift and firmness around the eyes.
Use a mask once or twice weekly to address problem areas in your skin and increase suppleness, smoothness and softness.
Book a massage the day or morning before the ceremony. A relaxed bride is a happier, worry free bride to have for company.
Get your eyebrows professionally shaped a week before the wedding day. This gives the brows time to calm down if there was any redness of irritation. If there are any stray hairs, a quick plucking should do the trick, once you keep the professional shape.
Worrying and younger brides may experience breakouts. If you get a pimple close to the big day, keep your hands away from your face. Apply a treatment nightly and be very careful not to pop it as your skin would only look inflamed.
Book a makeup trial a week or so before the day, so you can be comfortable with the makeup. The last thing you need is an unpleasant surprise on your wedding day.
Put these measures into place to ensure that the most radiant person at the wedding is you.
