Always wear waterproof makeup! We have heard it before, "I am not a crier." Crier or not, I think every bride would say better safe than sorry. You want your makeup to look just as fresh at the send off as it did when it was first applied.So waterproof-it-up ladies! Eyeliner, mascara, foundation, anything that comes in waterproof, wear it! You would hate to blot your eyes during the ceremony and when the preacher pronounces you man and wife, you turn around with black smudges under your eyes! You maybe happy then (you just married the man of your dreams)! But when you see the pictures the inner bridezilla might present itself, even after the wedding. So let's just deal with it correctly from the beginning, wear waterproof makeup and no one has to get hurt. 2. Always wear fake eyelashes! I know this one might be a little controversial, but hear me out. You want to look the best you have ever looked, glamorous, romantic, and natural at the same time. You want to look beautiful like you never have before, but still yourself. Eyelashes are a fun way to enhance your eyes, yes even if you have long eyelashes, and an easy, natural way to make your makeup different from any other day. There are different types of lashes, for a more dramatic look you can choose the full strip, but if you want a more natural enhancing look go for the individual lashes. If you still don't trust me and you are using a professional makeup artist, ask them about your options (they should have a few), and ask them to apply them for your trial. 3. Get your trial makeup done for your engagement pictures. This is a great way to make sure that you like your makeup and that it photographs well. You will also be able to see how it lasts throughout a day of smiling, kissing, hugging, maybe a tear or two. Once you get your pictures back you can decide what you like and don't like and make a better decision of whether or not you want to book that makeup artist, choose a different style, or do it yourself. 4. If you are planning to spray tan I know I have read and heard a lot of "DO NOT tan before your) wedding day!" I do agree that there is nothing worse than an orange bride, but not all tanning solutions turn people orange. Here are my suggestions for fake tanning: 1.) Make sure it is custom airbrush; it leaves less room for error. 2.) Do a tanning trial a month or two before so you can see whether or not it will turn you orange. 3?) If you like it and want it for the wedding, make sure you do it three days before hand. This gives it time to blend well and fix any mistakes there might be. 5. Be Honest! Your makeup artist and hairdresser want you to be COMPLETELY honest during the trial session. That is what they are for! Don't worry about hurting feelings (well, you can still be polite in saying it) but make sure that you are very honest and specific with what you want. It makes it easier for the artist and you will be happier with the end result. 6. Make your own touch up bag You will definitely need touch ups. That is just a given. It is a good idea to ask your makeup artist what products they used for mascara and lips so you can go out and buy it and have it on hand for the day. If they used a special blend of their own products, have then put a little extra in a little plastic baggy and make sure to bring something to apply it with (Maid of honor's finger is fine). 7. Use a makeup artist. Since this is one of the most important days of your life, I would recommend that you hire a professional makeup artist. You are hiring professionals in every other area, why not makeup and hair? I always say the most important vendors you choose are the photographer, videographer, and makeup artist because they are the memories you take with you from your day. Does it matter if you looked fabulous the day of, but the camera didn't pick up the makeup well? You don't want to be looking at your photos afterward thinking, "I know I looked beautiful, but you can't tell!" You want your memories to show how beautiful you really looked. 8. Make sure the makeup used, by your professional or otherwise, is long-lasting and HD quality. This is very important!! Two things you want your makeup to do: last all day/night and look good in pictures. Some good long lasting makeup (and HD quality) is airbrush — usually good for 12-18hours. Another tip is to apply primer about 10 minutes before foundation. Some good primers are NARS or SmashBox. These days every photographer and videographer is using HD quality equipment. This is fabulous because you pictures will look great. You just want to make sure that you are wearing makeup that will come out fabulous in the pictures. The best option for this is airbrush makeup. The way that it sprays on is pixelated and has the best results on camera. If you can't find someone who airbrushes you can still find HD quality foundation. Make Up Forever has really great HDquality foundation. 9. Shape your eyebrows Have you ever noticed the difference between someone who takes care of their eyebrows and someone who just lets them grow? I know I do, because I can tell on myself. When I have my eyebrows waxed I feel like a new woman! It can make so much of a difference.If you have never gotten your eyebrows waxed or shaped before, go to a professional a couple months before. That way if you don't like it you will have time to grow them out. If you do like it, continue going to the same person and keep it up until the wedding. The last time you should get your eyebrows waxed should be at least 3 days before the wedding. This gives you enough time to make sure you don't have red above and below your eyes and that the makeup will go on smooth. 10. Don't forget your makeup artist or hair stylist!! After you have been beautified for your perfect day, make sure you show some love to the people who got you there! Makeup artists and hair stylist are always looking to update their portfolio and the best way to do that is with the professional pictures from your photographer. Make sure when it is said and done and you have some pictures back, you let your stylist know that they can get them printed out and use them for their website and literature, etc. It would be a huge help to them!

If you think that your lover seeing your natural face is frightening, simply imagine what you're aiming to look like in 10 years from all of the harm you're doing to your pores?
Wearing makeup while asleep isn't okay. It's dangerous for your skin and it's undoubtedly dangerous for your health. Whether or not it's organic mineral makeup you're wearing or store bought makeup, it still isn't smart for your skin underneath. The fact of the matter is, we tend to live in a world with pollutants all around America and after you place your makeup face on, you're hindering your pores and attracting pollutants to the face. Standing beside somebody who is smoking cigarettes or standing at a bus stop whereas all the cars and trucks pass is collecting waste on your face. When you go to bed with your makeup on, it virtually becomes a mask of pollutants. There's nowhere for them to escape! Your face then becomes a center for bacteria to build up on your nose which will lead to black heads, skin conditions on your cheeks and forehead and the list goes on. You'll be able to even get cysts on your eyelids or eye bacterial infections from not cleansing your makeup off. Plain and straightforward you're hindering your pores and not allowing your face to breathe. Eight hours is over enough time for daily wear of makeup. If you thought you had unhealthy skin before that you simply were covering up with the makeup, many more years of twenty-four hour makeup situations can make your skin even worse than it had been before. If you are one of those people who has been doing it, just promise that you will stop. Head to Cosmetics aisle and find yourself some face cleansing pads, makeup remover, and skin toners to wash out the dirt and pollution. There are even products specially designed for cleaning off makeup around the eyes that is completely different from usual makeup removers. These solvents work, therefore use them. Then of course, moisturize, tone or give yourself a deep cleanse with a facial mask. This may really clean out your pores for you. Try deep cleansing your face a minimum of twice per week and you may begin to see fresher more stunning skin. I guarantee that your skin can look and feel a whole lot better. You may love your recent face and new skin so much, you may soon see that's perfectly okay to go natural once in a while. And besides, if your partner does not love you simply the way you are. He's not the one for you! We will be starting our free giveaways once we get 2,000 likes on our FB page!
