Appearance important on wedding day NEW YORK — When Cleopatra travell- ed the Nile, legend has it, she scented the ails of her barge to command attention during her passage. But when today's bride floats down the aisle, she should be a bit more subtle than the Egyptian queen about the fragrance she uses, says a leading beauty consultant. "You don't want to overpower people. On the other hand, you do want to have a lovely scent about you," advises Sharon Queeney of Revlon Inc. "If the wedding ceremony is in a hot environment, I would suggest cologne. If a cold environ- ment, perfume, because the bride will need that extra strength." Because a bride is the star of the day, she is forced to focus on her physical ap- pearance even more than usual, says Queeney. "It's a day all women look forward to," she says. "It's a wonderful Cinderella fantasy, the one day in your life that all attention is focused on you, and you want to look pretty. "But you can't wait until that morning and achieve marvels. In preparing for that day, you have to start a few weeks ahead of time. "If you want to look glowing, with clear eyes and a beautiful complexion and look really healthy, the first thing you should start doing is to take, care of your skin, following a cleansing, toning and moisturizing regimen." The bride-to-be can't be eating junk food and expect to look radiant, because the skin reacts externally to what is con- sumed internally, Queeney says. She should drink lots of water, watch what she eats, and get lots of sleep," she advises. "Sleep is important, if she doesn't want to be a bride with dark circles under her eyes." Queeney passes on more pointers: 'Try to get everything done well ahead of tune, so that the day before and cer- hat will you d with your wedding dress after the weddin tainly the day of the ceremony you are totall focused on yourself. If you're rattl- ed, uptight, nervous or frantic about something you're not going to be a calm, beautiful vision in white." To help crate that vision, Queeney says, the bride needs a cosmetic face - formulated cleanser, depending on whether she has dry, oily or combination skin. cleanser, 1 don't mean soap ou of the dish — because it has a stripp- in drying effect and strips your face of its natural oils. 'A toner should be used to take off the residue left by the cleanser, so the foun- dation you choose to put on your face should be a paler tone but should match your natural skin tones." A secret to successful makeup, the beauty consultant advises, is to dust the face with a big powder brush all over us- ing a pale translucent powder before put- ting on eye shadow, blush or lipstick. On- ly then should she start applying the col- or. Before applying eye shadow, the bride should first put on a little foundation and dust her lids, so the color will adhere and endure longer, Queeney advises. As for lipstick, she says, it's best to use a soft but bright or lively pastel rather than a heavy red lipstick, which usually is a bit too strong for the bridal look. -Also, co-ordinate the color tones of the eyes, lips and cheeks, with nail enamel reflecting the same family -tone," she adds. "Use a soft color, because you don't want bright, stark fingernails. -As for the hair, you need more volume on your wedding day. A lot of brides make the mistake of wearing man- tilla lace -type hear:dresses but have flat hair, and they look like little urchins. And when getting ready, have friends around to protect you. It's one day to tru- ly be selfish." We'have the answer! We carefully clean and press the dress and pace it in a gold heirloom viewing box which has a blue cellophane viewing area.
