You have stressed over the dress, the invites, the seating and everything else, did you give a moments thought to your pre-wedding beauty routine. Many brides make the mistake of waiting until a day or two before the wedding to concern themselves with their hair and makeup. Brides want to look their most beautiful at their wedding but beauty starts within not without.

You are spending long hours stressing over the details. As your wedding day approaches try to get more sleep. Avoid late nights, especially the night before your wedding. While a lot of people plan their bachelorette party for this night we suggest you do it the weekend before. This gives you plenty of time to recover before your big day. A wedding day is a whirlwind of activity and nothing looks more beautiful than a well rested woman.

If you are planning to change your hair color or get a new cut, try it out months before the wedding. This will give you time to grow it out or change the color if you are not happy with the results. Do not go for something drastic, choose a hairstyle that fits your personal style. Updo's are hard hairstyles to hold if you have thin hair one trick many brides use is to leave it unwashed for a few days. The build up will give your hair more texture allowing the hair to grip better.

When you have chosen your perfect makeup, make sure that you purchase all of the items that were used. This is for the touch up bag, even if you hire a professional for the day there will be times later that you might need to freshen your look. Take notes and have the artist show you exactly how she applied each step. This way you will be able to achieve the same effects.

Even if you are not a fan of waterproof mascara this is one day you will be glad you wore it. Even if you are wearing false eyelashes brush them with a coat of waterproof mascara. There will be many tears shed this day and streaking mascara will ruin the effects of your makeup. No bride wants to look back at wedding photos only to find that she has raccoon eyes.

Being beautiful is also a matter of good health. Eat balanced meals, find time to exercise, drink plenty of water and sleep as much as you can. It is also a good idea to stay away from too much alcohol before the wedding. This will dry our your skin.
