Few occasions are as magical as the day you get married. It’s your time to be a celebrity...a star...the center of attention. As the bride, you make the choices, from the style of your dress and veil to your lovely, glowing face.
Since this is a once-in-a-lifetime project, a certain amount of preparation is necessary. Here are some tips to help get you started:
• Looking fresh and natural is practically traditional for a bride. The photo album will be pulled out many times over the years, and the last thing you want is to look overly made-up or dated.
The best look to strive for is the radiant, clean-skin look that never goes out of style.
• The basis of everything is the right foundation. If you don’t normally wear it, try out a few shades, matching the color to your face and neck, not your arm or hand.
• For the blushing bride, just being a bride is enough to make any woman’s face glow with joy. Mother Nature sees to that, but even she can use a little help when it comes to putting the right amount of color in just the right places!
• Water, water everywhere, If being happy makes you cry, you can bet you’ll shed a bucket of tears on this day. That’s why it’s important to wear a waterproof mascara.
Look for a lash extending mascara in a shade that complements your hair color for the prettiest, driest lashes even through tears of joy.
• Kissable lips. For the most beautiful, lasting bridal lip look, use a product that provides long-lasting matte color.
• Nail perfection. Beautiful, well-groomed nails complement your overall appearance.
Since you can’t run out for a manicure half-way through the reception, do the next best thing: apply an anti-chip protecting topcoat to keep your polish looking fresh
• hair goes to new extremes. Today’s bride may choose a sleek-to-the-head style that erupts in voluminous curls at the nape of the neck or on top of the head. Also popular is the gamine look of little boy cuts, ranging from straight-as-a-pin to soft, shapely waves.
• simplicity. Elegance, style. Less is more, is this season’s catch phrase. Matte powdered faces look natural; foundation is sheer and used only where needed to even the skin tone. Often nothing more than moisturizer is used on the face.
• lady in red. Red lipstick adds drama to the otherwise bare face. Lips are defined and enlarged with neutral lip pencil, filled in with red and topped with a hint of sheer gloss.
• a new way of sampling. Watch for small faux gem stones scented with fragrance to be given away at counters during new fragrance launches. Also, jewelry manufacturers and fragrance houses team up to make intimate pieces of jewelry (such as earrings or pendants) that contain a few drops of fragrance. Scent is worn close to the body, but doesn’t touch the skin. (MS) |
