Although I agree, this would be the perfect solution in an ideal world, it isn't always practical - weddings are probably the single most expensive event we will wever stage! Of course you could have a limitless budget, HibiscusTea, but if like myself you are working on a Budget (I managed to stage my January church wedding and reception for 100 people last year for about GBP£5,000!) this may not be a solution. If you do go down this road I would also recommend a couple of sessions with the make-up artist. My cousin had her make-up applied for her by a professional and she was not at all happy with the results - the make-up artist paid no attention to what my cousin wanted, at one point going so far as to tell her that she(The make-up artist) was the professional and to relax and let her work her magic. Although the result looked fine to everyone else it wasn't what my cousin wanted and looked far too heavy. Not to put you off though! I'm sure if you state your case clearly, a
good make-up artist will carry out your wishes on your big day.
Whoever does your make-up, a big tip for blue eyes (I have blue eyes and used this on my wedding day) is brown! Going to the opposite end of the colour spectrum makes your eyes 'pop' in the most pretty way. It works the other way too - Brown eyes/blue shadow, Green eyes/purple shadow etc. You will still have a nice earthy, neutral palette to work with but use a slightly darker brown shadow along you lash line and in the socket area, it will really make your peepers stand out.
The most important beauty tip though is to relax and enjoy yourself - it's your day and nothing lights a face up better than an easy, natural smile. I wish you all the best for your big day and more importantly, for yourself and your husband in your new life together.
