Makeup Looks


Have you thought of a wedding look you'd like to try with makeup? A good idea would be to get some pointers from the ladies at your local department store, who can assist in finding flattering shades for your skin tone. They can show you how to diy at home so you'll get the same results.
Here's one inspiration I found from bobbibrown.com. A Bobbi Brown has designed a makeup line just for brides designed for the emotional wear and tear of the big event. The kit sells for $75 and includes
-Exclusive Ivory Eye Shadow
-Black Ink Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner
-Black No Smudge Mascara
-Pink Sugar Shimmer Lip Gloss
-Short Handle Ultra Fine Eye Liner Brush
-White Cosmetic Case
Depending on what look you're trying to pull off, there are so many different combinations that you can try until you are happy with the best one. You'll want to try experimenting a few months before the wedding, but after any final changes you make to your skin regimen (tanning, dermabrasion, etc.) so the colors will look the way they did when you tried them on.

Wedding Dresses to Flatter Your Figure

You may at some point (maybe after a couple weeks of searching?) think you came upon the perfect dress in some bridal magazine. Okay, maybe you're just tired of searching and the sales lady pulls one off the rack and you think it MUST be the one...the price tag ends in your lucky number or you want to name your baby after the dress style, 'Caressa'. Sometimes believing in fate is needed, but in the case of dress desperation, I'd say no. Realistically, there are some things to consider before picking the dress. We call come in different shapes and sizes, so that perfect mermaid dress may not speak the same language on you as it did on the mag model. Sorry to bust your bubble, I know, but its just that we grow up conditioned to see a dress in a store window or magazine, hear magic twinkling music, and think it was made for us--but the truth can sometimes be disappointing. You may LOOOOVE it, but it doesn't love YOUR figure, your height, your curves, your bust, or your

Send in your dress, makeup or hairstyle questions

A friend of mine recently asked me for some wedding dress help. We went dress shopping together and had a time. Not that great in the beginning, I mean. First off, she is petite and plus-sized, and she hadn't done her research on how to flatter her figure. All the dresses she had been thinking of just didn't look right when she put them on--the poofy ballgown dresses made her look lost in tulle, and a sheath dress and frilly mermaid style dress just didn't get us enthused. I initially wanted her to find the dress she had been "dreaming about" without any intervention on my part. I had hoped she'd try one on, glow, and everyone would stare in awe telling her it was "the dress." Well, it didn't work out. But I had to do something before she got disappointed. So.....I brought her a couple of A-line dresses, which started us on a roll. She instantly cheered up. She had insisted on a rounded classic style neckline, but when I showed her how a v-neck w
