BEAUTY TIPS: You must practise days before your wedding.
1.Schedule Weekly Manicures
Face it: As soon as you get engaged, everyone is going to ask to see the ring. Keep those nails and hands primed and pretty with regular weekly manicures. This is your chance to experiment with colors (pretty mauves and pinks) and get to know your manicurist. When you get your nails done, look at your nail bed. Shape your nails to match, giving your hands and nails a balanced and elegant look.
2. Whiten Your Teeth
You want pearly whites for all those beautiful pictures you’ll be posing for (but we also know how crucial coffee is right now with all the planning). Most toothpastes have whitening ingredients in them, but for faster results, choose a special whitening one. White strips are also a great option.
3. Eat Healthier
If you can bear it, try staying away from sugar, lots of sodium and processed foods. These all lead to belly fat and bloating. Instead, focus on green vegetables, fruit and lots of water—all great for staving off food cravings and clearing up your skin. Watch out for carbs as well, especially fried foods.Stay away from too much booze—alcohol makes your skin puffy and dry not to mention, you crave more snacks and junk food when you’re buzzed.
4. Work Out Regularly
We know it’s an obvious one—work out on a regular basis. Working out will help tighten and firm your body while also detoxing your skin. A good workout gives you a boost of energy, helps you lose weight and makes you feel happier.
5. Lift Weights
Add weights to your workout routine. That age-old myth that you’ll bulk up is false! Some simple dumbbells will make all the difference between toned arms and that little bit of arm fat that’s so hard to shake.
6. Have a Day-Of Bag
Whether it’s flyaway hairs or fall-off fake lashes, you should make sure you have an arsenal of bridal beauty fixers on hand the day of; this means being prepared for any scenario. Start adding items as you begin to work out the details of your wedding, as well as during your makeup trials. You should have a plan of attack with your makeup artist should they not be there in a moment of need.
7. Get a Smooth Face
A primer is a great place to start. Use it daily. It provides a smooth surface for foundation to adhere to all day. Or try a hydrating facial serum. Apply it daily before your makeup for softer and smoother skin.
