Wedding Makeup Do's and Don'ts
You’ve got the guy, the dress and the flowers – all perfect, of course – but don’t overlook the one detail that will make yours a picture-perfect wedding: your face. The makeup you wear every day is probably not the best choice for your walk down the aisle. So before taking your vows, take a look at our list of makeup dos and don’ts to keep you the fairest of them all on your special day.
 For your face:
DO
keep your skin looking dewy and fresh by using a tinted moisturizer or
moisture-balanced makeup. Foundations with yellow undertones work best
with flash photography.
Don't get carried away with shimmer
highlighters or light-refractive makeup. In photos your shimmer can
easily turn into an unflattering and highly reflective shine.
DO
use a bronzing powder to warm your skin tone. Using a natural bristle
brush, lightly apply color to the areas of the face where the sun would
naturally hit: forehead, cheeks and the bridge of the nose. If needed,
apply a light dusting on your neck and chest for even all-over color,
but do this before you put on your dress.
Don't get too much sun before your wedding. Sunburns, peeling skin and tan lines can sabotage your special day.
DO
give your foundation staying powder by using a gel foundation primer
before you apply your makeup. Add a light dusting of loose powder to
prevent any unwanted shine.
Don't
use a heavy pressed powder to set your foundation. Too much powder can
leave your skin looking chalky and lifeless in your wedding photos.
