Getting gorgeous for your wedding day means taking care of yourself inside and out.  It’s also a good idea to start asap and not wait until the last few days before you walk down the aisle.  I asked my friend Christine Guederian of Lady C Artistry to give us some beautification tips on preparing for the big day.  Christine is a wonderful makeup artist and often hosts helpful presentations tips on her blog.  I often find myself looking at her you tube video presentations on makeup tips which are informative and fun to watch!

Below are Christine’s list of Beautification Do’s: 

MONTH OF BEAUTY REGIMEN

• Do any waxing four to five days prior
• Do Facials one week prior
• Do Botox/fillers one month prior
• Do Tanning Beds- 2 days prior…any closer to the big day and you will risk looking orange in your photos.
• Do Fake Tanning- 2 days prior… try to keep in mind that the skin looks different in photography.
• Most importantly, do not start any new regimen or try a new product if you have never done it before. Your wedding is not the time to take risks!

To Do’s on the DAY OF YOUR WEDDING:

• Your face should be makeup-free and ready for your makeup artist.
• Your hair should be dry and tangle-free, ready for your hair stylist.
• Drink water for hydrated skin- this is an oldie, but a goody. The more water you drink, the more your skin will look plumper and brighter and will help makeup sit well on your skin. Who doesn’t want to have a healthy glow on their big day?
• If you are getting airbrush-tanned, wear a towel or a top with the same neckline as your dress
