- Avoid frosted eyeliner or eye shadow. Matte shadows work best in photos.
- Curl your eyelashes and apply brown or black mascara.
- Apply a flattering blush to your cheekbones and blend upwards.
- Line your lips with a pencil first, and apply lipstick

- Leave the tissue on your lips and with a loose powder puff
- Press the puff on top of the tissue. Remove the tissue and reapply your lipstick.
- If your eyes are red, eye drops can work, but can be a bit messy.
- Instead, use a white pencil near the inside of your lower eyelid.
- Buy new mascara. Mascara should be thrown out every three months.

 There are a lot of ways to make your wedding hair and make up look beautiful for your wedding day, so enjoy the moment, because most importantly, stress is a beauty buster!
Make sure you take a deep breath and relax before you begin to do your make-up. You don't want to have stress lines apparent on your face! Also, you want to keep those wrinkles off, so don't frown with frustration, but smile instead. It makes it harder for wrinkles to form that way. Getting married is about growing old and getting wrinkly together, but you don't have to wrinkle that fast!
