| Getting the glow |
|
| All brides are beautiful. But how they get that way is the real story. |
|
| The white dress, the glow of pearls, the aura of love, the sheer adrenaline rushing through her veins as she walks down the aisle: All this helps to make each bride gorgeous. All this – and more. |
|
| The most important aspect of bridal beauty - keeping it simple – is the most difficult for bride to embrace. Because the wedding dress is so different from what a woman wears every other day of her life, most brides that their makeup should be dramatically different, too. |
|
|
| That shouldn’t be the case. The dress should say “wedding”. Your face, however, should say “you”, but in a slightly enhanced version of your everyday self. Don’t give in to the temptation to pile on the makeup. You don’t like to look like someone you’re not – especially to your fiancé when he is just moments away from tying the knot. But don’t go au naturelle either (remember; the photos, the photos). In fact, spring for a professional makeup artist, and definitely plan at least one practice session before the wedding. |
|
| More important, don’t try something new. To be perfectly clear: Do not cut your hair dramatically, perm it or color it a shade not typically found in nature. Along the same lines: Don’t try a new face cream, because you could break out; don’t try to get a suntan, because you could get burned; and don’t try a new brand of cosmetic anytime close to the wedding because you could have an allergic reaction. Finally, don’t be unrealistic. |
