The wedding day is one of the important days of the lives of the bride and the groom. But this day is also a really important event for the bridesmaids and groomsmen. You’ve been honored with that title by people that love and cherish you and you definitely want to look the best on that day.
Every girl wants to look amazing at her friend’s wedding and who knows, maybe you will find the love of your life at that event. There are so many things that the brides must do so they look perfect on their special day, but the bridesmaid also needs to take care of a lot to look amazing.
Here we are going to talk about the beauty prep every bridesmaid must do before the big day. Luckily for you, you don’t have to start preparing months in advance as the bride does, but there sure are a lot of things that you have to do to look as good as you can.
Dresses
The dress is usually chosen by the bride along with her entourage, but if somehow you can pick your own dress, then you need to take care of that as soon as you can. Do you plan on changing your weight or hitting the gym before the big day? If the answer is yes, then you can pick the dress you like, but be prepared to make some changes to it. Make sure that the people in the store know about it and make sure that the last fitting is scheduled one week before the wedding.
Don’t pick anything that’s white and try to color coordinate with the other bridesmaids. If the bride does not want that, then you can pick whatever style or color you want. Try to opt for something modest that will show off your curves, but that won’t be too revealing.
Hair
There is one rule that you should not do anything drastic to your hair days before the wedding. If you want to cut it short, do that a few months before the big day. If you plan on changing the color, change it at least a few weeks before the event so that you have time to re-dye it if needed. You can even schedule a test hair appointment to have some idea of what would look the best for you and what style or color to choose.
In these cases, you need to pick a good saloon and a good hairdresser and you should trust the expert. They know what color looks best on your skin type and they know which style will look the best depending on the shape of your face. However, if you don’t like the test hairstyle, you can choose something else for the main event.
Face and Makeup
To have a nice and glowing skin you need to take care of it every day, not just before big events. Don’t forget to use the proper lotions every day on your face, exfoliate once per week and always use a night cream. If you want to keep your skin looking fresh and smooth and if you want to postpone those wrinkles and fine lines you have to remove the makeup and clean your face before you go to bed.
There are many ways to keep your skin young and not just your face. If you want to make your skin look fresh and spotless, bi-inter suggests using hyaluronic acid and vitamin c. If you have problematic skin and acne, it is smart to go to the dermatologist at least a month before the wedding.
When it comes to makeup, you should follow the same guidelines as the hair process. Try to schedule a test makeup appointment so you have some idea of what your face would look like and to basically test the skills of the person who is going to do your makeup.
If there is anything you don’t like then you should not stick with those colors and that person or cosmetic salon. Make sure that their brushes are clean and just pay attention to the little details.
Tan
If you want to have a little bit of tan, there are few ways you could do that. You can go to a tanning salon or you can do it at home. If you are doing it at home, then you need to be really careful and really smart about it.
Make sure you exfoliate your body first and that you use high-quality products. It is good if you have someone there to help you so that you don’t have spots all over your skin. Be extra careful when it comes to your face. There are a lot of self-tanning lotions that will help you do the job, and you need to follow the instructions on how much product you should use. It is also important to wear protective gloves so you don’t end up with your hands and palms looking too dark.
Try gradual tanners and do that at least a few weeks before the wedding so you have time to reapply it if needed or to exfoliate it off if you don’t like it.
Nails
Last but not least, having nails that look perfect will complete the whole look. For this, it is best to visit an expert that can get your nails done in just an hour or two. Try to combine the colors with the color of your dress or with your makeup.
They should complement your look and they should not stand out too much. Just make sure the place you are visiting has high ratings because you don’t want your nail to break just a few hours before the wedding. If you put fake nails on, try to do that at least a few weeks or a month before the big day so you can get used to them. Get them done again a few days before the wedding so you have fresh and beautiful nails.
Do you have any special way to take care of your skin and to make yourself even more beautiful? One thing you should know is that you should take care of yourself every day and not just before big events. Your skin and your hair will be glowing if you follow the right diet, drink a lot of water and if you use the right product. Don’t put too many products on and just find the combination that works for you.
