Maybe you’ve booked the perfect venue, bought the perfect A-line strapless wedding dress 2011, and are ready to share your special day with friends and family – but what about your makeup? Here are a few top beauty tips for the bride to be that will ensure you look just as fantastic as you feel!

1. Waterproof Eye Makeup
Even if you swear you’re not going to cry once you? make it up the aisle, it’s still a safe bet to wear waterproof mascara to avoid any raccoon eye moments! There are plenty of gentle formulas on the market; try a few and see which one will be most comfortable for you to wear on the big day.
2. Blushing Beauty
Don’t forget to swipe blush on your cheeks; it will give your face a pop of color and prevent you from looking completely washed out. Fair skinned ladies can wear a pink blush; darker women should stick with a rosier hue.
3. Pretty Up Your Peepers
You want to define your eyes so they stand out on the big day, but you don’t want to go overboard. Stick to matte shadows without a hint of shimmer; this way, they won’t reflect too much light or look shiny. Leave the sparkles to your accessories, NOT your eye makeup!
4. Blend, Blend, Blend
If you’re doing your makeup yourself, make sure to BLEND everything! The camera will pick up on any makeup lines you? may have left, so have a friend or family member double check your work to ensure everything is blended well.
5. Pucker Up
Look for a moisturizing lip color that also has a slight shine to it for the most natural looking lips. You want a formula that won’t feather, fade, crease or otherwise dry out your lips – and keep a tube in your bag for touch ups throughout the day!
With these beauty tips, you’ll truly be able to create your own wedding day look that works for you.You’ve spent a lot of time and money on making sure your wedding day will be an event to remember for a lifetime; shouldn’t you also make sure your makeup on the big day doesn’t make you look back and cringe in horror?
