i was looking around for tips on how to look "perfect" for the big day and i found not many. What kinds of tips do you have?
1.When it comes to doing your make-up, don’t fall victim to the saying "more is better". Use the same shades of make-up that you normally wear and don’t make any radical changes to your looks.Remember, you want to ENHANCE your looks with make-up …not cover them up!
2.Consider using a professional make-up artist. They are trained to understand camera lighting and angles, and how to accentuate your BEST features and minimize others. HOWEVER, always do a "test run" before the wedding day!
3.Do a TEST RUN with hair and make-up just the way you are going to wear it on your wedding day. Have someone take several pictures from different angles and with different facial expressions. Then, look at the pictures. Do you like what you see? Too much make-up or not enough? How about the hair style? Too much height or not enough? If something doesn’t look right start again and do another test run until everything looks just right.
4.Make sure that you bring along a small make-up bag to "FRESHEN UP" during the day. All you need is some translucent or pressed powder to absorb any shine and some lipstick. If you’re outside taking pictures, bring along some blotting paper which works great to absorb moisture without rubbing off your make-up
5.Particularly if you are taking pictures before the ceremony, remember to RELAX in front of the camera. If you’re feeling nervous or anxious, this can show in the camera by your facial expression, your posture and smile.
