Wedding beauty dos and don’ts
MS –All eyes are on the bride and
groom on their wedding day. Feeling
beautiful and dapper can boost a
couple’s confidence and ensure they
look back on their wedding
photographs and videos with
pride.
Certain beauty basics and makeup
and hair strategies can help any
bride look spectacular on her
wedding day. The following are
some dos and don’ts of wedding day
beauty preparations.
• DO employ the services of a
professional hairstylist and makeup
artist. Professionals have the
experience and tools of the trade to
help you to look your best. From
contouring to make your face seem
slimmer to enlarging the appearance
of small eyes, some tricks of the
trade are best left to the pros.
• DON’T forget to schedule a trial
run. Make this appointment several
months before the wedding day so
you have ample time to work with
your stylists and experiment with
colours and hair arrangements to fit
your personality and the style of
your gown. Take plenty of pictures
and notes so you will remember
what needs to be on hand for the
wedding day.
• DO allot enough time for the
wedding day beauty appointment. If
you will be going to a salon, block
out two or more slots instead of one.
This way the stylist does not
overbook and will not feel rushed.
Many brides opt to have stylists
come to their homes. There may be
an extra charge for this service, but it
may be well worth the cost.
• DON’T make any drastic
changes to your appearance right
before the wedding. This includes
changing your hair colour or texture,
extreme tanning, using coloured
contact lenses or chopping off all of
your hair. It’s better to wait until
after the wedding to change your
style.
• DO bring a veil, headpiece, hair
extensions and any other accessories
to your hair consult. This enables the
stylist to practise working with these
items.
• DON’T tweeze or wax brows too
close to the start of the ceremony.
Redness and swelling are common
side effects of tweezing and waxing,
and they can be difficult to mask
with makeup. Instead, take care of
hair removal a day or two prior to
the wedding.
• DO exfoliate your skin prior to
the wedding. This doesn’t
necessarily mean you should endure
a harsh fruit acid peel or another
procedure. You can exfoliate with a
gentle washing of your skin with a
nubby washcloth to remove any
dryness and errant flakes.
Moisturize well to ensure a smooth
