Bridal beauty is not a one day affair. You have start taking care of yourself days before the wedding. Three to four weeks before the wedding is good time to start any beauty regime if you need one. Many brides opt for bridal packages that include facials, body wraps and massages that help the body and skin immensely.
Here are few pointers for all those brides to be out there.
• If your one of those girls who has imagined her dress, cake and decor since she was a little girl, you probably even know what kind of look you are going for. If you aren't, then go through some magazines or surf the net to look at reference images for your wedding hair and makeup. You may like someone's eye shadow and some else's hair, so put together a few pictures that can be a reference for the final day.
• On your wedding day it is a good idea to hire a professional to get your makeup and hair done. It makes things easier for you. The best way to find a good makeup artist for your wedding hair and makeup is by reference. Ask your other married friends about makeup artists they have used in their own weddings. Look through their wedding photographs to see how good the makeup looks in the photographs. You are bound to get a few names and referrals, sort through it and visit the ones that really interest you.
• Meet with the makeup artists and begin your trial rounds. Take photographs of all the final result and compare them to make a final choice. Also consider cost and other charges while making a final choice.
• Once you have made up your mind pay an advance and book your slot. Some brides prefer getting ready at the salon and then reaching the venue, while some prefer getting ready at the venue. Getting ready at the venue saves time but involves a lot of interference from family and friends! If the bridesmaids want to get their hair and makeup done it is probably a good idea to book the appointment with you so that there is no confusion later. Make sure you show your makeup artist your dress and also swatches of the bridesmaid's dresses. It will help the makeup artist immensely and she will be able give you the wedding hair and makeup you have always wanted.
• Weddings are stressful so make sure you get enough sleep, eat right and stay fit before the wedding. If you don't look after your self it will show on your skin and face! Always remember a happy bride is a beautiful bride.

Golden Tips for Bridal Makeup
On the wedding day the Indian bride wants to look best when all when all eyes are set on her. Bride's make up, hairstyle and outfit should be perfectly matched. Her overall look should match her personality. From the bridal outfit to her make up and hairstyle everything should add to her beauty and compliment each other. For a bride her wedding dress is of her most priority.
On your wedding day, you want to look fabulous-but remain true to yourself. You don't want to look like a stranger in your wedding photos.
1. Don’t usually wear makeup? Bend your rule just a little. At the very least, your skin should look flawless and glowing
2. Go through magazines to help you decide how you want your wedding makeup to look before you meet with a makeup artist or purchase any cosmetics. You might want to do this with your groom if you have heard him say things like "you don't need any makeup," "you're beautiful just the way you are," or "just wear what you usually wear." You should let him know that wedding makeup is applied a little differently for photography and that it needs to last all day. If possible, include him when looking through the magazines for wedding makeup styles.
3. To cover the reddish skin, use sheer color corrector and apply tinted moisturizer of yellowish green or olive green shade to neutralize it.
4. Pink color blush is not for the wedding day, generally speaking. Try bronzer under cheekbones instead.
5. For brides with oily skin, be sure to avoid any harsh skin treatments as these can actually increase the amount of oil in your skin. A better alternative is to being a skin care routine with cleansers and balancers made specifically for your skin type.
6. Don’t be afraid to experiment with makeup in the months leading up to the wedding. You should aim to have your makeup choices made at least a month before the wedding so that you can be sure you do not have nasty reactions to new products.
7. Don’t feel that your bridal makeup needs to be very heavy for it to look good in pictures. If you do this, your wedding makeup will only look as though it's been caked on.
8. Apply two layers of waterproof mascara, having few seconds pause between, to avoid smudging Make sure you use smudge proof eye makeup. Wedding ceremonies take a longer time and you might rub the eyes accidentally. Eye shadow should compliment your skin tone and the outfit your wear. Use eyelashes for a dramatic look.
9. Don't forget to carry all of your bridal makeup with you. You never know when you may need to reapply makeup at your wedding.
10. Use a long-lasting lipstick. When they first came out, most were dry and not suitable for a day-filled with close-ups and endless congratulatory kisses. But the new generation wised up with separate color and moisturizer. Apply the color once at the beginning of the day, and remoisturize a couple of times to keep lips luscious and picture-perfect. My favorites are the Cover Girl Outlast All-day Lipcolor.
