First off, I think every bride should hire a makeup artist to make her feel like royalty on her big day. (Seriously, I SO wish I had done that for myself. Pre-wedding checklists like this one are enough to think about already!) That said, even Kate Middleton did her own makeup, and it turned out beautifully.
Whether you're having a destination wedding in a tropical locale or getting married in your own back yard, follow these fool-proof steps -- culled from both my experience as a bridal makeup artist and my favorite celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow's recommendations (her clients include Claire Danes and Olivia Wilde). They are sure to help your radiant, gorgeous self take center stage on the big day.
P.S. If you're planning to do your own hair, too, read this first.
Get the perfect makeup look.

Good tips, especially PRACTICE!!!! I'm hoping to do my own makeup for my wedding next summer.... but a makeup artist friend offered to do it for not very much, so maybe I'll have her do it instead!

I agree that these tips can work for everyone! Using too much color can ruin any look, so I like your idea of keeping to a simple neutral look for eyes.

Although I'm not a bride, I think these are great tips. I had never considered natural blushing and using too much blush before. I blush easily so this was a great tip for me. Thank you!
