Next comes the concealer, because everybody's got baggage — undereye bags (or dark circles), that is. For the undereye, choose a tone that's just a shade lighter than your skin. Pat the concealer on, then blend with your handy sponge.
It's time to get a little cheeky: You've got to add some sun-kissed depth and dimension to your cheeks. Choose a bronzer one to two shades darker than your skin tone. A good rule of thumb here is to find a bronzer with multiple shades, so you can build. Sweep the bronzer along the cheekbones and on the forehead just above your eyebrows — or, where the sun naturally hits.
Next, say cheese: See the two round spots that stick out on your cheeks? Those are your apples — and that's where you add blush, in a circular motion. Start light and build until you're happy with the color.
The eyes are the windows to your soul, and also one of the hardest makeup looks to master. As part of the wedding party, it's nice to have a neutral eye, and nothing too flashy. Do a darker waterproof liner along the lashline, then a soft, matte eyeshadow over the lid. Finish with a creamy white just under the outside of the brow for a natural lift.
If you can, eyelash extensions are a good idea, so you're not worrying about anything. You can also always go the falsies route. If you decide to go with regular mascara, remember to curl your lashes, then apply a good tubing mascara that won't flake or smudge.
Keep it simple here, but remember, the brows can really frame the eyes, so simple doesn't mean forgotten. Shape them a couple of days before the wedding so there's no lingering redness. Then, lightly fill in any gaps with a good brow pencil, and set them with a brow gel.
