Top 10 bridal make up tips and skincare advice

Introduction

When you’re planning your wedding, it can be tempting to spend all your time and resources on the big day. However, if you want to leave feeling like a bride when it comes time for photos, then it’s important to take some time out of the day to look after yourself. Whether it's getting a spray tan or doing some DIY make-up artistry at home, these tips will help keep your skin looking fresh and healthy so that no one would ever guess that you had just married someone three months ago!

Do a health check

It's important to get a health check before getting married.

Blood test: A blood test will let you know if you have any allergies, illnesses or other issues that could be affecting your health.

Skin check: This involves an examination of your skin by a professional. The results will give you an idea of what areas need more attention and treatment than others, so they can be addressed during your wedding beauty routine when it comes to skincare products and makeup techniques.

Hair check: You may want certain hairstyles for your big day - but do they work with how much time you have available? An appointment with the hairdresser will let them know exactly how long each style lasts so they can plan accordingly! They might also suggest adding extensions or other methods which would make working around them easier (and less damaging) later on down the line."

Take a trial run

The best way to find out what looks good on you is to take a trial run. You can do this by wearing all of your bridal accessories and makeup before the big day, or simply try them out in an environment where you know they will be seen by others. This could be at home, or somewhere like a dress shop where there are mirrors on the wall and people nearby who might see you trying something on.

Exfoliate and moisturise

Exfoliate and moisturise.

Don't forget to exfoliate before you start your makeup, as it will help you remove dead skin cells that can clog pores and cause breakouts. You should also use a gentle exfoliant for sensitive skin, like honey or avocado oil (these are rich in vitamins A, D, C & E). Once the dead cells have been removed from your face, follow up with anhydrous glycerin moisturiser to hydrate the area around your eyes so you don't get any dry patches where there's already dryness on top of everything else!

Use make-up remover wipes to fight stress

If you're a bride-to-be, chances are that you have an abundance of stress. You're probably getting ready for your wedding day and wondering what on earth is going to happen next, which is why it's so important to take some time for yourself during this special moment in your life.

If you're like me and can't seem to find the right person who will listen when I talk about it (like my mom), here are some things I've found helpful:

Take advantage of products that help with stress relief.

Use make-up remover wipes as they are easy to use and gentle on skin. They also come in handy when traveling or camping because they don't take up too much space in your bag!

Look after your hair

Use a leave-in conditioner

Use a heat protectant

Dry shampoo or powder (if you want to go for volume)

Blow dryer and flat iron are your best friend when it comes to straightening and curling your hair!

Take care of your nails too

Nail polish is the most common beauty product, but you should be aware that it can dry out your nails. You should also use a file to keep them healthy and strong.

If you're someone who likes to wear nail polish all year round and want to keep your nails looking great, then try using a nail strengthener as well. This will help keep them strong and prevent breakage or chipping later on down the line!

Finally, if you have old or leftover nail polish on your nails from previous applications (or even just because), don't worry: there are plenty of removers available so no one has anything but beautiful hands after spending time creating such intricate designs with their fingertips!

Look after your lips

One of the most important things you can do for your lips is to find a good lip balm. This will help keep them hydrated and healthy, which will make them look plump and pretty.

Use a lip liner before applying the balm, especially if you have dry or chapped lips (this can cause bleeding).

Apply the balm after using the liner, so that it doesn't get mixed up with other products in your makeup bag.

Add some gloss over top of the balm/liner combo if desired!

Get false eyelashes for the big day

False eyelashes are a great way to add length and volume to your eyes. They can be used for a variety of different occasions, from an elegant evening out to an informal day at the beach. They can also be used for a variety of different styles, from classic glamour to natural-looking lashes that complement your eye shape. And because false eyelashes are reusable, you'll be able to wear them for several days in a row before having to replace them with new ones!

False eyelashes come in many lengths; from short ones that make it look like you have no lashes (and therefore no mascara) down to long ones that extend all the way across your top lid--even though they may not look like real human hair on first glance! There's no right or wrong choice when it comes down eyelash length; just find what works best for you!

Don’t go tanning before the wedding

Tanning is an extremely common practice and can cause skin cancer, premature aging and sunburn. It also damages your skin in other ways.

Your skin is actually made up of four layers: the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous layer (or subcutaneous fat) and hypodermis or connective tissue below it. The first three layers contain melanocytes that produce new cells that become pigment-producing melanin when exposed to UV light from the sun's rays (which causes damage). This coloration is temporary but if you're going to be out in the sun for long periods of time while tanning then you may start to develop creases around your eyes due to the ageing process caused by burning yourself repeatedly over time!

Get a spray tan instead!

Everyone has heard of spray tanning, but not everyone knows how to go about it. For those who aren't sure whether or not they should have a spray tan applied, there are some great reasons why it might be worth trying out:

Spray tans give a natural-looking tan that lasts up to four weeks (and sometimes even longer). There's no risk of burns or allergic reactions with this method--you get all the benefits without any of the risks!

Spray tans can also help protect your skin from harmful UV rays while you're outdoors during peak sun hours. If you don't want your face looking like an oompa loompa after paying for traditional bridal makeup services at the salon, then consider getting yourself something more relaxing instead!

Being a bride is stressful, but make sure you take time to look after yourself. You can do it!

When you're feeling stressed, it can be tempting to put on a brave face and push through. But the truth is that stress is a normal part of life and even if you are in the best relationship ever, there will still be times when things get tough.

Stress can lead to health problems like high blood pressure or heart disease, poor decision making (like having unprotected sex), poor relationships with friends and family members who might support your decision but won't understand why you made it--and even poor performance at work because of lack of sleep!

So take some time out every day for yourself: go for lunch with your bestie; have coffee with your mom; watch an episode from Stranger Things (yes please).
