Amazing tips to get that perfect wedding day look

It is your wedding!!! The most important day of your life. A bride would want her wedding to personify grace and beauty. The dress, jewelry, venue, flowers, rings, guests, bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls and especially the bridegroom – all are ready for the wedding. But are you?

Well, if you think that there is still something missing out then you must read further. Here we are with some of the best tips on how to do everything for a perfect wedding day look.

Wedding Day look

1. Weekly manicures

The day you get engaged should be the day you schedule one day in the coming weeks for a manicure. Keep those nails properly trimmed, filed and clean. Try out different styles for your nails like the softer round nail or the unique, square nail. Take time to decide and make sure you have enough time to experiment by scheduling weekly manicures well in advance.

Most essentially, manicures help keep your hands soft and inviting for the day you shall hold hands with your fiance, forever. Use those sexy nails to seduce and those supple hands to provide such soft warmth that he will consider himself lucky to have your hand in marriage.

2. Sparkle them white

Yes, it is your teeth we are talking about. Apart from the basic toothpastes that have whitening agents in them, use white strips. Or better yet, get your teeth professionally cleaned. Make sure this is done at least 6 months before the wedding, otherwise you will end up looking artificial when you flash your extra-white teeth.

Make sure you whiten your teeth for the most enchanting, beautiful and dazzling smile which, we promise, will be enough to light up the entire room.

3. Avoid dark circles

Dark circles are a strict no-no on a flawless face. Make sure you get good sleep and eat well and not just before the wedding. This takes a long time and only good habits of sleep and nutrition shall help you.

For speedier results, apply almond oil every night around your eyes and cover with a slice of cucumber. Doctors advise the use of eye creams that help hydrate the skin and also lighten it.

4. Smooth face

At least 3 months prior to the wedding, get monthly facials done to keep your skin supple. Fruit facials are advised by most dermatologists as these are natural and healthy for the skin. The latest is the blueberry soy facial that helps detoxify the facial skin and provides a much-needed exfoliation.

As far as cosmetics are concerned, use a primer before applying the foundation to ensure that the latter sits well. A hydrating facial serum should be applied before makeup to prevent any roughness that the compact or other makeup item can cause.

5. Style your hair

By styling we do not just mean getting the perfect hair-do for your big day. Take care of your hair well in advance, by washing it with cool water to remove any frizzies. Cool water moistens your hair and maintains its softness. Frizz fighting cosmetics also help.

If you are confused about how to wear your hair on your wedding day, simply ask yourself one question – What suits me the best? Then decide if you want to let your hair down or pull it in the typical updo. You can either curl or straighten your hair. Pageant-perfect curls are a strict no-no because they only make you look fake. Most beauticians, recommend voluminous locks which give your hair an effortless bounce and also something for your lover boy to play with.

6. Get cheeky

If you are blessed with high cheekbones, nothing like it! However, the softer faced girls need not worry. If you don’t have them, fake them! Use a matte bronzer below your cheek bones, followed by a pink or peach blush-on toward the apple of your cheeks. For a toned down look, use shimmer at the peak of your cheekbone and chuck the bronzer.

7. Bold and the beautiful

Make sure you keep your makeup nude, especially the eyes. Do not indulge in over kill. However, use a bold lip color for the most luscious lips. Experts say that a bright lipstick will only make your teeth look whiter! Also make sure that your lip color and blush on are of the same shades. Follow this as a rule.

Be kiss-ready with soft, supple lips. Use vaseline over your lipstick as a softener. In case you complain of parched lips, make sure you drink a lot of water and moisturize your lips frequently.

With these tips for your lips, the bridegroom will surely be left trying to speed up your wedding ceremony to the ‘You-may-now-kiss-the-bride moment’!

8. Work out regularly

Not only does this tone the body for the perfect figure and curves, but also helps detoxify the skin for a natural glow.

It helps you stay in shape both physically and mentally by providing a boost of happiness and self confidence. Also, it benefits the wedding night majorly!

9. Use waterproof mascara

Make sure the mascara you use is run-proof, otherwise it will spread and make your eyes look ghastly and tired.

For the lower lashes, apply mascara with an eyeliner brush instead of the mascara wand.

This tip comes in handy for wedding makeup because you never know when you are going to get emotional and tear up.

10. Decolletage

The decolletage is the upper portion of a woman’s torso comprising her shoulders and neck. For clear, glowing skin in this region, choose a material for your wedding dress that does not irritate you and prevents perspiration.

Care in this area becomes essential if you are wearing a strapless gown. Also, try to accentuate your collar bone for a sharper, sexier look.

11. Disaster kit

Well, also called the day-of bag, make sure you have all your cosmetic essentials in this safety kit. A set of safety pins, tissue paper and mouth fresheners are must haves.

Make a list of makeup items that you might need during the wedding ceremony, for a quick touch up and prepare your day-of bag accordingly. Things you need will jump out at you during makeup trials and the rehearsal dinner. Note them down immediately and add to your purse.

If you don’t have the time, buy a premade wedding-survival kit! Yes, they are available in store.

12. Have your brows shaped

Seems trivial, does it not? Well, it surely has an impact. Undone eyebrows look messy and clumsy. Make sure yours are appropriately done for the big day. In case there are any extras, pick them out with a tweezer which must also go into your day-of bag.

However, lets go a step further. Give a desired shape to your eyebrows. Start shaping appointments 6 months before the wedding. You will have to go for 3-4 week sessions. The last session will be a month before your wedding in case you need to outgrow any areas.

13. Rehearsals

No, we are not talking about the rehearsal dinner. They have these for makeup and hair as well. Book an appointment with your makeup artist and see what kind of makeup you want done. This is called a makeup trial.

Hire a photographer to take photographs of you with the makeup on. This way you will know how you look in the various lights of the venue and you may alter your makeup accordingly.

14. Get longer lashes

If you have already got them, you are gifted. If not, you can put on fake eyelashes. Too superficial? Use half lashes in the outer corners of your eyes for a softer look. Longer eyelashes will ensure you are the cynosure of all eyes.

The best idea is to apply mascara and then curl your lashes. Then top it off with a coat of waterproof mascara. This will keep your lashes light and give you the most romantic eyes ever.

15. Give it a break

Do not try a new skincare routine before the wedding. Stick to the basics of cleansing, toning and moisturizing and make sure you remove your makeup before going to bed. You may try a beauty mask at the most, but go easy before the main day.
