Tips & Advice
What bride doesn't want to look her best on her wedding day? Mexico weddings, Caribbean weddings or Hawaii weddings present ideal weather and backdrops, but not always perfect makeup or skin conditions. But, don't worry, we have you covered...
For you to look picture perfect, begin a regime of skin care into your daily lifestyle several months before. By incorporating you will discover the results of looking radiant year round, too.
It need not be an elaborate beauty regime but simply cleansing properly is what is necessary to keep your skin glowing and clear. A full day's worth of dirt and dust will make you prone for nasty breakouts in the days ahead. You need not spend a fortune to get the vital protection that your skin needs.
• Use a body brush for a few minutes before your morning shower each day to maintain that glow.
• Use a body moisturizer after your daily bath or shower to avoid developing dry skin and create a softer and silkier you.
• Give yourself a face mask once a week, rinse and use a toner to close the pores.
• Remove your makeup every night.
• Drink plenty of water to clean out any impurities (at least eight 8oz glasses).
• Apply moisturizer with an SPF all year round. Many moisturizers have one built in to protect the skin against UV damage.
Many brides request their destination wedding planner to hire a makeup artist for their big day. However, a cost saving option is to visit a department store cosmetics counter and be open to products and suggestions. Learn how to apply properly, while enhancing the real you.
Makeup should fit like a glove. That is; be natural but stunning, skillful but creative and definitely with your own distinctive signature.

• The importance of moisturizing can not be over emphasized. It sets your face - the canvas.
• Concealer will eliminate any imperfections and/or discoloration.
• Foundation with built-in sunscreen should be used. It protects your skin during your outdoor wedding. Blend in with a makeup sponge.
• For a long-lasting, natural looking flush, try a cheek stain, followed with a natural-looking, powder-based blush.
• Set your concealer and foundation with sheer, loose oil-free powder.
• Eyelid primer will enhance shadow for long-lasting, crease-free results.
• An eyeliner pencil in a dark shade that outlines the crease between the brow and eye will define the eyes.
• Matte shadow lasts longer. Place lighter tints on the brow bone and slighter darker shades below the crease.
• Use water-resistant liquid liner to outline your eyes. Allow it to set.
• With eyelash curler in use, waterproof mascara is the only one to consider.
• For lips, utilize a pencil lip liner that closely matches the natural color of your lips.
• Long-wearing lipsticks in vivid shades will brighten your face. Use a tiny brush when filling in the color and eliminating bleeding.
• Try spraying your face with some water to set.
• Keep oil blotting papers with you to blot excess shine.
