Plan your wedding day makeup in advance to ensure you’ll be putting your best face forward

Bride's face

Having a glowing look is the ideal for your wedding. But as tearful relatives and flashing camera lights take their toll, your makeup can streak and your eyeliner smudge until you have the radiance of a raccoon.

To put your best face forward, choose the appropriate cosmetics and take a few cues from the experts.

Just as you wouldn’t ask a caterer to serve an untested recipe, you shouldn’t experiment with new cosmetic procedures at the last minute, says Elise Brill, a Chicago-area make-up artist.

“You could get a facial the day before the wedding and break out, or use makeup that doesn’t look right on you,” Brill says, a wedding make-up specialist.

Schedule a trial session with a make-up artist two months before the wedding. Expect to pay anywhere from $70 to $150 for yourself or anyone else in your party. If scheduling by the hour, your fee will range from $120 to $300 per hour, according to Brill.

To make the most of the consultation, describe your dress, hairstyle, time of day, floral arrangements and what the bridesmaids will be wearing. You can bring in photos that illustrate your ideal, but don’t let someone else’s look overwhelm your own.

“You should wear some makeup but look like yourself. I love to see a bride’s face. If you have a lot of makeup you don’t see the face,” Brill, who offers additional tips at her Web site, www.leesib.com, says.

Also, select the makeup scheme you prefer. Your wedding day is all about what you want. There’s no right or wrong make-up color scheme.

For a middle-ground that’s neither too dramatic or boring, either accentuate the eyes with smoky shadow and use a light shade of lipstick or gloss, or instead go light on the eyes and accentuate lips with a rich, dark color.

If you’re planning a warm-weather wedding and are concerned your makeup will melt in the heat, follow this three-step plan:

1. Use a matte moisturizer as a primer all over your face.

2. Use an eye fix and lip fix to set a base around the eyes and lips.

3. Apply foundation first, concealer second, setting the concealer so it doesn’t move, and the powder last.

Buy all the makeup you’ll need well in advance so you’re not searching for a particular lipstick shade the day before the wedding. Your makeup kit should include sponges, non-fuzzy Q-Tips, lip brush, blush brush and powder brush.

Apply makeup after you put on your gown. Just before walking down the aisle do a last-minute check: powder any oily areas; apply a little extra blush and make sure you don’t have lipstick on your teeth.

With a little care, you’ll smile, shed a tear and kiss without worrying about your makeup.
