The Wedding Countdown

Wedding Day Countdown


Start to think about your complexion about 4-6 months before. A skincare routine helps skin look even, smooth and radiant. For all important daily sun protection, don’t go out without an SPF lotion- please consider this at any time of the year.

About 4 to 8 weeks before and you suffer from large pores, dullness or shine. Now is the time to get a skin care check up and address any complexion issues. Please go and talk to the experts about your concerns and commit to a simple customised routine. You will see your problems solved and your skin transformed.

Round about 4 weeks before make a visit to see a make up expert and go over your wedding day look.

Purchase presents for your bridal party. Make up and fragrance items make great gifts. Please don’t forget the groom.

Continue to experiment with self tanners to give skin a sun kissed glow. The key to natural looking, believable colour? Exfoliation. It helps self tanning products glide on and most importantly streak free. Polish and deflake dull skin with gentle yet effective booster exfoliators for face and body.

After you have applied a self tanner you must remember to keep your skin hydrated this is very important as dry skin soaks up colour unevenly. Wait for 20 minutes after self tanning before smoothing on moisturiser.

It is now the week of that all important day the wedding day. Make time to go for that all important final skin care check up. It is well known that stress and dehydration can wreak havoc on skin, therefore get some all important exercise and more importantly drink plenty of water, too.

Revisit how you want your make up to look. Practice makes perfect. Now’s the time to purchase anything that missing from your cosmetics bag. Pack for your honeymoon. Importantly don’t forget the sunscreen.

Also consider what special fragrance you will wear for the big day.

The wedding day remember to moisturise lightly around your eyes and liberally on your face. A well moisturised face keeps foundation from clinging to skin.

Foundation evens out skin tone and minimises imperfections. Remember less is more.

Concealer disguises imperfections – it’s the key to great photographs. Brighten your look with a lighter shade of concealer at the inner and outer eye corners.

Eye shadow tends to wear off. Anchor your shadow with a neutral base for long wear. Waterproof mascara is a must.

Lipstick should be subtle and flattering. Avoid brown lipsticks to make to make your teeth your whiter. And a long wearing lipstick formula will help keep your smile beautiful after numerous toasts and kisses.

Bottom line? Enjoy your moment it’s your day. Feel comfortable with yourself. Finally be yourself! The most important thing to remember is to have fun, and delight in this once in a lifetime process.
