Getting engaged and planning a wedding is one of the most exciting things you will do in your life.  As if that isn`t enough, when your wedding day nears, you will need to focus on your beauty, hairstyle and makeup needs.

How you look on your wedding day will be the single most important thing people will remember.  Photographs and videos will document your glory and bring pride when walking down memory lane.  Plan your hairstyle and makeup ahead of time, and you will look simply radiant.

BEFORE YOUR SPECIAL DAY

Getting plenty of beauty sleep is a secret to not only how you will look on your wedding day, but how you will feel.  This doesn`t mean just the night before you get married--it means the entire week.

While planning on beauty rest and getting your beauty rest are two different things, make it a priority to get a full night`s sleep, every night.  Keep any daytime naps to a minimum so they don`t interfere with your ability to get that night time shut-eye.

Pamper yourself every night with a warm bubbly bath before bed.  Get out the candles and wine if necessary to set a relaxing atmosphere.  Turn on the answering machine to field phone calls and ask family members not to disturb you.

Your mind may be racing, so keep a notepad on your nightstand so you can jot down ideas and to-dos, so it won`t keep you awake at night.  Just knowing you won`t forget the small stuff will give you piece of mind.

Eat healthy and choose your foods carefully in the days leading up to your wedding.  Avoid any foods known to cause bloating and gas.  Now is "not" the time for a crash diet.  Just be sensible, and you won`t sacrifice your health over a couple of extra pounds.

MAKEUP TIPS

You`re going to want to look beautiful, so take into consideration if your wedding is scheduled for a day or night event.  If your wedding takes place in the daytime hours, your make up should look natural.  When night falls and the party begins, touch up your make up with darker shades if you like.

Consider having your makeup applied by a professional.  Schedule a trial run.

Exfoliate your skin and follow up with a toner.

Your foundation should blend in with your skin tone.  Blend it into your neck to avoid embarrassing lines. Be sure to use makeup that is non-transferrable.

Neutral tones are best for daytime.

Use an eyelash curler to make your lashes appear longer.

Waterproof mascara and eyeliner is a must!  Brown/black will flatter both blondes and brunettes.

To prevent clumping don`t use old mascara.

Avoid a shiny face.  Powder your face with loose translucent powder after you apply your foundation.  Take along a pressed powder for touch ups.  Jerome Alexander`s Multi-Purpose Sahara Sunrise Mirrored Compacts are perfect for this.  With "one" compact you can apply Blush, Eye shadow, Eyeliner, and All-Over Face Powder!

Stay away from creme eye shadow.  You need some staying power, so stick with powder.

Apply lip liner under matte lipstick.

Keep your foundation light to avoid any streaking, and check it outdoors or in bright light when your finished.
