Blushing Bride

For a glow that stays incandescent all day, try layering your blush. If you've already applied liquid or cream foundation, start with a cream blush, dusting it with translucent powder, then brush on a powder blush.

Easy Nails

Skip the fussy French manicure and go for the "neutral nail." Look for polish in classic creams or sheers. Nude hues will make nails look longer and last-minute chips will be almost invisible to the naked eye.

Flawless Finish

Foundation on bare skin? No way. Use a lightweight primer with polymethyl methacrylate to fill in pores, keep makeup from separating, and better conceal blemishes and redness.

Bright Lip Color

Go for the bold with a deep pink, magenta or coral lipstick on your weddings day. Make the look modern by keeping the rest of your makeup minimal.

Subtle Face Tanning

For a sun-kissed glow without the dreaded I-just-fake-baked look, use a facial moisturizer that contains just a touch of self-tanner.

Eye Enhancers

Eyelash extensions are becoming a popular pre-wedding beauty treat. They last for up to a month—no mascara needed—so they're great for the honeymoon, too.

Nature-Friendly Products

Go for an organic look and feel on your wedding day by choosing products like Sue Devitt's Triple C-Weed Whipped Foundation (made with three types of organic seaweed and vitamin C antioxidants) and Cargo's PlantLove lipstick (the package is biodegradable and studded with seeds, so when you've used up the color, you can plant it in your garden).

Polished to Perfection

Red nails are all the rage—keep them short and rounded for a tastefully tailored look.

Sparkling Skin

For an ethereal glow as you walk down the aisle, dust your arms and décolletage with gold-flecked body powder or dry oil.

Fairy Dust

Once you've set your foundation with powder, forget creams or liquids for touch-ups—they won't adhere. Dust on a matching pigmented powder instead.

Complimentary Eyeshadow

When branching out beyond brown and gray eyeshadow, complementary colors are your eyes' best friend. Brown eyes take to a wash of blue. Green-flecked hazel? Try violet. And deep blue peepers pop against bronze.

Visine

A drop of Visine in each eye just before you walk down the aisle will give you superbright orbs.

Wedding Manicure

To avoid eleventh-hour agita, schedule your wedding manicure the day before, says L.A. manicurist-to-the-stars Jessica Vartoughian, then brush on a shiny topcoat the morning of the big day.

Blemish Buster

Dab on Almay Clear Complexion Blemish Healing Make-Up and Spot Concealer to zap stubborn pimples.
