Read on for 17 expert-recommended tips and tricks to nailing that wedding-day beauty look, all by yourself.
No matter how makeup-savvy you may be, you don't want to wait to apply your wedding-day look for the first time on your wedding day.
Perfect skin is the best possible canvas for your makeup. Add structure to your face by contouring with a brown-matte shade which is darker than your skin colour. Next, highlight using a shimmer power on the T-zone and cheekbones. Your skin will glow when the camera light falls on it. Use an eyeshadow base to hold down the eye makeup. Look for neutral eyeshadow shades in browns, golds and bronzes. None of the peacock stuff. Use a light shadow colour all over the eye, a medium colour on the crease and add more eyeshadow to the corners of the eye for extra effect.
Use a black or brown kajal for your waterline. Then apply a gel or liquid eyeliner. A high SPF normally comes with the connotation of being so greasy it ends up breaking down your make-up but this is so lightweight it's hard to believe it's got such a high protection. The slightly tinted cream can be used on it's own to even out the skin or as a glue for your foundation.
It doesn't get anymore hydrating than a jelly texture. When selecting a foundation it's important to work with your skin type instead of against it. If you have oily skin - Avoid foundations boasting a dewy finish. If you have dry skin - Avoid an overly matte formula. A silky matte finish will hold up all day and photograph beautifully. I like to prep skin with a sheer foundation and then use a higher coverage foundation on top, only on the areas that need it.
Try to use a foundation without an SPF as any camera flashes will reflect off the SPF creating a chalky look in photos. This is not a myth! If you plan on spray tanning for your big day, go a few days ahead of time and get your foundation matched a day after to avoid your face looking paler than your body. Powder is always a yes! Use a fine milled translucent formula, it will help set the make-up and blur the look of fine lines and pores without adding any weight.
You're better off with a loose powder on a small to medium brush pressed into your skin where you need it - around the nose, top of eyebrows etc - to lock in your base. When you get your hands on a setting powder from the Mother of make-up you know it's going to be a good one. With decades of backstage make-up experience under her belt, McGrath knows a thing or two about keeping make-up matte in the heat. Dry skin sufferers rejoice!

Iconic for a reason, the secret to using Laura Mercier's translucent powder is all in the application.
Instead of dabbing, take the powder puff, fold it in half so it resembles a taco and roll the powder onto your skin. It'll set your make-up in seconds. You get the most natural finish with a cream blusher and can always layer with a powder for deeper pigment and the longest wear, but the right blusher also depends on your skin type. Blusher should always be placed on the high apple of the cheek the fullest part when you smile and never too close to the nose to avoid looking flushed.
If subtlety is your style, these watercolour blushers are ideal. They offer a barely-there flush to cheeks with a slight metallic finish to make cheeks shine. A couple of taps on the apples of cheeks and you're good to go.
Famous for their buttery textures, these paints offer an effortless French-girl-hue to cheeks for a naturally fresh look. Plus, a little goes a long way so one tube will last you ages. The only blush palette a girl could ever need, if you're on the deeper side of the skin tone spectrum, these six shades have got you sorted.
From hot pinks to vibrant corals, these soft powders will look heavenly on cheeks. Perfect for when you're on the go, dot on the centre of the cheeks and blend for the just-pinched look. Top it up with richly pigmented eye shadow providing a smoky appearance. Turn your attention to brows so that they can complement the dramatic smoky eyes. Many beauticians recommend the use of false lashes to enhance their length and volume. You can also try a volume-adding, waterproof mascara for the same effect.
Now, you are almost done. Add the final touches to your makeup by applying pink blush and a long-stay lipstick matching the colour of your costume. Applying a natural lip gloss over the lip paint would add the much-needed shine for the glamorous reception evening.
Use a highlighter at the corner of eyes, cheekbones, and brow bones to add a diva-like effect.
