Beauty starts on the inside.
Following these tips will help any bride prepare for her wedding day.
Eat smart.
Choose whole grains, fresh greens and fruits, and clean proteins, such as chicken, fish, and beans.
Hydrate.
Drink lots of water daily to hydrate the skin and flush out toxins.
Move your body.
Exercise at least three times a week to strengthen your body and calm your mind.
Take relaxing baths.
Add soothing Epsom salts or skin-softening powdered milk to your bathwater.
Be present.
Slow down and appreciate what’s around you rather than rushing to get from start to finish.
Bridal Dos & Don’ts
Do complete a makeup trial.
Do get as much sleep as possible on the night before the big day.
Do drink plenty of water before your wedding day, and properly prepare skin with moisturizer and eye cream.
Do make sure foundation is right for the skin tone. Your color may have changed since the makeup trial.
Do buy a new mascara for your wedding day, but test it a few days before.
Don’t go to a tanning bed right before your wedding. If you want more color, use a self-tanner. Test the product weeks before the date. Apply it several days before
the wedding in case you need to make corrections.
Don’t apply too much eye makeup. You want the eyes to stand out, not the eye makeup.
Don’t use concealer on the eyelid. It causes eye makeup to crease.
Don’t use a concealer under the eyes that is too light for the skin tone. It will make you look like a deer caught in headlights.
Don’t experiment with eye makeup you haven’t tried before.
Don’t wear frosted, shiny, or sparkly shadow, as it will reflect camera flashes.
Don’t apply shimmer all over the face. One or two accents are enough.
Don’t tweeze or wax brows on the wedding day.
Don’t wear false eyelashes if they are not 100 percent comfortable and you are not 200 percent confident that they will stay on!
