Your wedding day is by far the most photographed day of your whole life! These pictures will be hung all over your house, posted on social media, and shown to your future kids and grandkids for many years to come. It is a day full of memories that will last forever. The makeup artist/hair stylist should ensure that you feel gorgeous on this day. We have listed 8 tips from some of the most prestigious makeup artists and hair stylists to make it less stressful for you on your big day.

1. Less is always more: Your wedding day should not be the day when you wear an excessive amount of makeup. Your makeup should enhance your current features; not change your appearance. The best makeup artists recommend that you always start with a thin layer and then ask your bride if she would like more added. It is always easy to add makeup; therefore, make sure you speak up!

2. If you do not know the makeup artist/hair stylist, do a trial run: It is always recommended that you do a trial run because if you do not like the look done on you, there is still time for a change. Waiting for your wedding day could lead to a hair and makeup disaster! Getting your hair and makeup done should be a time of peace and enjoyment, not added stress to your wedding day.

3. When selecting a makeup artist, look for before and after pictures: This is a very important part of the search process because it will allow you to see what kinds of looks that the artist does. If you are looking to do a natural look, you should make sure that the before and after pictures that are posted look similar. You want an artist that enhances your features and does not pile makeup on your face.

4. Ask your artist to create a look that is classic and timeless: Your wedding day makeup should be something that looked good 10 years ago and for many decades to come.

5. Practice good skin care for about a year before your wedding day: A flawless makeup look begins with you! If you have clean, hydrated skin, it will allow the makeup application process to be easier. The top makeup artists in the world preach the importance of a good, consistent skincare routine when preparing for a special event.

6. Test numerous lip colors: Your lip color goes a long way on your makeup look. Pick a lip color that makes you feel good. If you are going for natural makeup look, you should look into nude shades and glosses. Some brides also like to choose a lip color that perfectly matches the theme of their wedding to tie it all together. It is recommended that you apply Chapstick daily and avoid have dry, cracked lips to avoid any smudging of your lip color.

7. Define your brows: Your brows are a central part of your face. You need to clearly specify to your artist if you are looking for bold brows or more of a natural fill in. It is recommended that you use a shade that is almost identical to your natural hair color.

8. Waterproof your look!: There are going to be countless amounts of happy tears during this day and the last thing you need is for your makeup to run every time you cry. It is especially important that your mascara and eyeliner are waterproof to prevent any black lines running down your face in pictures.
