I suggest choosing your own personal style and sticking with it. Wearing makeup at your wedding doesn’t mean you have to compromise your individuality.  Don’t be afraid of color though. Cosmetics are made you accentuate your best features. You want to look and feel like a celebrity, but definitely be recognizable!  Take some time and sort through magazines to find your perfect look and bring them to your consultation. Sometimes the image you are describing to your makeup artist isn’t the same she/he might have. Believe me, I’ve been to many confident hairstylists who knew exactly what I was talking about and ended up leaving with no where near what I had described.  Photos will be the best illustrations of your magical vision.

Meet with your makeup artist for a consultation.  Experiment with different color and product choices. I take photos with my digital camera for my clients after we’ve completed a look. Sometimes it’s easier to judge a photo than the mirror! Be honest with your makeup artist, that’s why it’s a consultation. If you don’t like something be sure to speak up. You don’t want to be second guessing or obsessing over something that you doubt later. It is important to leave your consultation satisfied and confident.

Lastly, my advice for the bride to be is to not stress about makeup.  You are in good hands with a makeup artist.  Remember, you are bride; you are going to be beautiful no matter what when it comes down to it.  Cinderella sparkled on her big day and so will you.
