On one's wedding day, the bride is expected to look gorgeous. Whether it is a natural beauty or with nature's help, she must be radiant. While happiness and excitement does make one glow, it won't keep the lipstick even after all the kissing you'll be doing. Imagine kissing your groom, the two hundred or more guests and then eating your wedding meal. Don't forget that you'll also be having that slice of wedding cake. How will you keep your lips looking luscious in all the pictures? Here are a few tips: - Choose a more natural shade of lipstick. A lipstick in a pink or brown shade will show less unevenness than a darker tone. - When you apply your lipstick, blot it with a tissue after. You don't really want to be leaving a brand on everybody, right? - Use a lipbrush to apply your lipstick. This will make your application more even, and the color will stay longer. - Choose your lipliner well. A good choice is one that is just a shade darker than your lipstick. Blending it into the lipstick is important to avoid the ghastly sight of a ring on your mouth without any color. - Retouch when you can. Carry your lipstick in your wedding pouch (some designers will create one for your hanky and lipstick) or ask your maid of honor to bring it for you. A good time to replenish the tint is before you form the line at the reception and of course, after eating. - Use a long lasting lipstick or have a make-up sealant. This will keep your lips colorful and hopefully smudge free til the reception is over. |
