Every bride wants to be the most beautiful bride anyone has seen. The bride's make up will be perfect with these few tips.

There are many details that go into planning for the day you have always dreamed about, your wedding day. However most of the time we put all the effort in the perfect dress, the perfect song and the perfect cake and forget about the most important detail, your perfect face!

Things to consider for the wedding makeup: the perfect colors, the perfect time, and the perfect photograph.

  • The Perfect Colors: Make up Artist, Robert Jones says, "I believe that choosing your wedding day make up look is as important as choosing your gown (Jones,18)." This is the time when you want to go for a classic, not trendy look. Your wedding pictures will be passed to generations of family members and you do not want to be the center of the jokes in fifteen years because of the horrible blue eyeshadow! Go for a neutral look that consists of browns and some golds which will be beautful on your eyes and bring out your eyecolor. For blush, (first off, NEVER forget the blush.) go for a warm pink or peach shade. Then for the ultimate perfect lips, go for a light color, a shade similar to your natural liptone. Do not forget the gloss!
  • The Perfect Time: Depending on the care of your skin, the timing has to be perfect. If you have less then perfect skin you need to think of getting married later in the day when it is ok to wear more make up. Outside wedding? Timing is definitely everything.
  • The Perfect Photograph: To have timeless beauty in your wedding pictures is the ultimate goal. You will probably need to wear more make up then you normally would. Often times we run out the door with no blush, big mistake if you want perfect pictures.

Don't forget, if make up is not your thing you should still consider a little for your wedding day. You don't want to be washed out in your pictures and make up can really just enhance your natural beauty. Please do not be scared to ask for help, most of us "make up girls" love helping you on your wedding day!
