Many brides ask me this question. There are many things to consider when choosing a look for your big day.

1) When will pictures be taken? This will help you and the makeup artist determine how much makeup is necessary.

- morning/ early afternoon: the light is softer so a more subdued look is best

- early/ late afternoon: there will not be as much daylight so a slightly more dramatic look should be worn, compared to your every day look

- late afternoon/ evening: the sun will be even less visible and eventually be gone so a mix more dramatic look is needed to ensure your beauty shows up in pictures.

2) What is your daily look?

- Do you wear no makeup, little to no makeup or a full face?

- What do you wear on your eyes each day? Smokey eye, light eye makeup, just mascara?

- Is your hair worn curly, straight, wavy?

- Do you wear your hair up, down, half up/ half down?

3) You should wear a look that makes you feel like a princess but you should still look like yourself, a more polished version.

Once all of these questions are answered you'll have a much better idea of what you want.

Ever have those extremely dry and cracked lips? Or your lip color always looks blotchy?

If you want to purchase a product that can smooth out those rough lips try a lip scrub. One of my favorites is Fresh Sugar Lip Scrub.

Heading out for a big date and don't have time to head to the store? Try scrubbing your lips with sugar and a toothbrush.

After smoothing out your lips with a scrub make sure to lightly hydrate them. You want to ensure they're hydrated so your lip color will look even all over the lips. If your lips aren't hydrated the lip color will adhere to any and all dry patches.

Making sure you follow these steps will help you achieve kissable smooth lips.
