Wedding Wednesday: Tip(s) of the Week

Check out tips from some fabulous vendors from the Style Lounge at Style & Strut this past Sunday...

Stripped Wax Bar

Smoothing out for your big day? Make sure to get waxed at least 2 days before any big event to allow any possible redness to pass.

Makeup by Denise

DO use a bronzing powder to warm your skin tone. Using a natural bristle brush, lightly apply color to the areas of the face where the sun would naturally hit: forehead, cheeks and the bridge of the nose. If needed, apply a light dusting on your neck and chest for even all-over color, but do this before you put on your dress.

Don't use a heavy pressed powder to set your foundation. Too much powder can leave your skin looking chalky and lifeless in your wedding photos.

DO use flattering neutrals to contour and highlight your eyes. For eyeliners, stick to the classics: black, navy or brown

Don't use heavy pencils or dark shadows to define your brows. This can leave you looking stern rather than stunning.

Cutie Pie Wax Bar

"Prone to ingrowns or bumps? Try a roll-on ingrown treatment such as PFB or Tend Skin twice daily for the first 5 days after your wax. Yes, they work miracles!"

"Listen to your gut and ask yourself the No. 1 question: 'How do I feel in this dress? Do I feel beautiful?' You really have to listen to that voice, because that's the person who's going to be walking down the aisle."
