The
Ultimate Beauty Tips For Brides
Getting married? Use the following as a guide to
help you de-stress and ‘glow’ on your wedding day.
To
ensure a radiant complexion for your wedding day –
- Eat a healthy balanced diet in the
months before the wedding. Include fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats,
fish and grains.
- Limit your intake of heavily
processed foods.
- Avoid excess alcohol consumption.
Alcohol is dehydrating to the body and will affect your skin and the way the
makeup ‘sits’ on it.
- Hydrate! Drink plenty of water.
- Adopt a regular exercise regime.
- Monthly facials either at home or ‘in salon’
will help to ensure that your skin is in prime condition for your big day.
Makeup artists know that makeup always ‘sits’ better on well hydrated and ‘cared
for’ skin. Don’t stress about skin breakouts on the day… any good makeup artist
knows all the tricks to camouflaging skin troubles.
- If you’re opting for a spray tan for
your wedding day, organise a trial for about a month beforehand to ensure that
you are going to like the result. Be sure
to have the final tan applied two days before your wedding to allow time to rid
your skin of the excess product in the shower which would otherwise end up
staining your wedding dress. Naturally this also applies to your bridesmaids.
- Have some relaxing herbal tea or
Rescue Remedy on hand for your big day in case you need to calm your nerves. ‘Sleepy
Time’ is an excellent herbal tea for relaxation and is available from major
supermarkets. Rescue Remedy is available from health food shops and some
pharmacies.
On
The Day of Your Wedding -
- To help relieve some of the stress
on your wedding day - have someone designated to answer phone calls for you ….
you will have enough to think about and answering calls can be quite stressful.
- Play calming music in the
background to soothe anxiety.
- If you have opted for a strapless wedding
gown, avoid bra strap marks by removing your bra while your hair and makeup is
being done. Bra strap marks stay embedded in the skin for a long time and look obvious
in photos. Instead, wear a soft, strapless boob-tube that can be removed by
pushing downward over your hips. Wear a button up shirt. Obviously you will want
to avoid wearing anything that needs to be taken off over your head, spoiling
the hair style and makeup.
- Use drinking straws during the
beauty preparations to avoid ruining the makeup.
- Make sure that your makeup artist
has left you with a sample of the lipstick colour and a disposable lip brush for
touch-ups. Pack a colourless, translucent compact powder in your bag (or chief
bridesmaid’s bag) to help reduce excess shine throughout the day.
- It’s YOUR day! Enjoy all the pampering
and attention.
