Emergency Kit: Make-Up pt. 1

Since I talked about Make-Up earlier this week, I decided to do today's list on Make-up.

1. Concealer- Zit popped up on you or on your bridesmaids? Make sure to have concealer on hand. Remind the girls to slip it in their make-up bag before they head out to your wedding.

2. Sunscreen- Use a face lotion with SPF or use a foundation with SPF in it. You'll want these in general for the protection of your face against aging and to keep from sunburning if you have an outdoor wedding.

3. Oil Blotting Paper- Blot out the oils from your face so you don't shine in a bad way.

4. Extra Make-up- As I mentioned in my earlier post, have this around in case someone's make-up just isn't working for them.

5. Tweezers- Your face looks perfect but a few stray hairs on your brow might just drive you crazy. Have these in hand to pluck those babies right out!

Have a Merry Christmas!

Pickle: Bad Make-Up

You may be doing your own make-up, having a friend do your make-up, or you may be hiring your own make-up artist for the day. Either way you need to do a practice run of your make-up before the big day.

The Pickle: Your make-up looks terrible for your big day. You feel like you look like either a clown or a stripper.

The Solution: Prevent this disaster by doing the practice run. Take notes on what colors you did, the step-by-step process of how the make-up was done and take pictures to see how the make up looks on camera. You will want to do the pictures in different lighting. Take some outside, inside, bright light, dim light, flash, no flash. You don't want to think you look good and find that you have weird things going on with your face.

Doing the day of practice? Make sure to have face cleaning cloths and have extra colors and shades of make-up to make sure you and your girls have the right combination of make-up available at hand. If you hire a make-up artist, make sure they will be bringing a variety of make-up options to decorate your face.
