Before your big day, it’s best to prepare and make sure you’re ready mentally not just physically. You know how you break out when you’re stressed out? It’s best to avoid those moments, by giving yourself the relaxation you deserve and prepare before the big day.
1. Wellness
Before your wedding day make sure you relax and unwind. Every day try to do some meditation for relaxation. Yoga or kickboxing are great choices for relaxing and burning stress as well.
2. Skincare
It’s better to get a skincare routine down sooner than later. Start taking care of your skin as soon as possible and long before your big day. Use an exfoliating cream on your skin 1-2 times per week. Try out some serums and moisturizers as well to replenish your skin.

The week before your wedding try to limit salty foods since they can cause water retention. Reducing sugar will also help you have clear skin for your day.
Makeup Tips
For your big day, it’s partially about having a good skincare routine, eating well, and also about makeup tips and tricks. You’ll find wedding makeup that will ensure you have the best skin for your day.
1. Good Foundation
When you’re looking for flawless skin on your wedding day, what’s most important is picking out the perfect foundation. When picking out a foundation you’ll want to consider your skin type whether you have normal, dry, oily, or combo skin.
If you have oily skin you’ll want to opt for an oil-free foundation, and if you have dry skin go for a moisturizing foundation. To find the right shade, you’ll want to find one that is the closest to your skin tone.
If you’re in between shades, don’t worry, you can mix multiple shades to get your skin-tone. Yellow-based foundations are great since they neutralize any pinks or reds in your skin. Avoid pink-based foundations since they can look fake.
To apply: Use a dry brush and apply a small amount to your cheek or jaw-line. A synthetic brush will allow you to easily apply your foundation. If you have dry skin, spray your brush with water first. See how the color looks in natural light by applying outside and make sure it looks natural.
Always test out your makeup before your wedding day.
2. Concealer & Powder
You’ll want a concealer and powder to go along with the foundation for flawless skin. You’ll want to choose a gold-based concealer that matches your skin tone. The gold will also hide any dark circles. Use the concealer under the eyes and around the nose.
Then apply the powder for oil control and help set the foundation. If you decide to only powder your T-zone that’ll make your skin look more natural.
3. Blush
Blush and bronzers are important for shaping your face. You’ll want to use a soft sweeping motion while applying over the apples of your cheeks. You can then soften the cheeks with some loose powder.
For porcelain skin: Apricots and pale pinks
Fair skin: Sandy pink tones
Medium skin: Brownish-pinks
Tan/Dark skin: Deep brown rose hues, golden browns, and plums
Deep skin: Rich reds and dark bronzes
4. Perfect Eyes
You’ll want to pick out the best eyeshadows for wedding day makeup to truly stand out but in a good way. If you want a classic look go with more earthy tones such as grays, taupes, pale pinks, and beiges. Don’t match your eyeshadow to your eye color.
You’ll want shades that make your eyes pop. You can use bright colors but just remember to blend very well. You’ll want good brushes and a solid blending technique to make sure you have no harsh lines.
5. Pretty Pout
To finish your look you’ll want a pretty lipstick for your mouth. Before applying lipstick, use a lip conditioner first then a lip liner. Blot your lips once, hold a tissue over the color, and brush loosely with powder.
Lip Color: For a shade that stands out and is glamorous, choose one that’s closest to your lip shade. Think pinks, nudes, and light browns. Reds and plums photograph darker and can look harsh in photos.
Fair skin and light hair: Purples, pinks, oranges
Fair skin and dark hair: Beiges and browns
Dark skin and dark hair: Violets and reds
Red hair: Browns, bronzes, and coral-reds
