3 Months to the Wedding

You might wonder why we started with the three-month mark. Well, this is the perfect time when you lay the foundation. Think of it as a prep phase– close enough to keep the excitement alive yet far enough to set skincare and beauty plans in motion without rushing. 

• Start Your Skincare Goals

Your wedding glow starts here! But, honey, achieving that flawless skin is something that won’t happen overnight! So, now is the best time to start caring for your skin. 

For beginners, here’s a very basic yet reliable skincare regime in easy three steps:

On the contrary, if you need an extensive routine to follow, below are the required steps: 

• Make Healthy Lifestyle Adjustments

Time to think of your wellness! Some healthy changes you can add to your lifestyle are:

1. Get at least 7 hours of sleep.

2. Add greens to your diet.

3. Refrain from eating junk or fried food. 

4. Start hitting the gym. If you are short on time, go for home workouts!

5. Hydrate as if your life depends on it.

• Ask Yourself- What Kind of Makeup Look Do I Want?

Keep your search on for the kind of makeup look you want! Start collecting inspiration on Pinterest, YouTube, or Instagram. Figure out what kind of vibe you are exactly looking for as a bride– is it natural, glam, or dewy?

• Hunt for the Perfect MUA

Your makeup artist will be your beauty magician for such an incredible day of your life, so choose wisely! Start researching MUAs in your area, stalk their portfolios, check reviews, and book trials. 

Remember, the best of MUAs get booked months in advance, so don’t procrastinate.  

• What If You Are Skipping on the Makeup Artist?

Did you know Kate Middleton did her own wedding makeup when she married Prince William on April 29, 2011? 

So, if she can, you can too! 

If you are planning on doing makeup on your own, it’s the right time to brush up on your makeup skills. Watch tutorials, practice your look, and experiment until you nail it.

1 Month to the Wedding

Okay, now we are officially in the final stretch, brides-to-be! This one-month mark is about ensuring every detail is on point and on track. So, let’s check out what you need to tick off your to-do list:

• Finalize Your Makeup Trial

If you have already had your trial and loved the look, this is the time to book them asap. Discuss everything with your makeup artist about the kind of elements you want in your look. Also, test your full makeup under different lighting conditions—natural light, indoor light, and even flash photography.

• Get Your Hairstylist on the Board

Thinking of getting those romantic waves, a classic updo, a messy open-hair look, or a boho braid? No matter what your choice is, you need to finalize a hairstylist. Schedule a trial and bring your inspiration, veil, or hair accessories to see how everything comes together. 

• Consult a Dermatologist or Facialist 

Wanna seek professional help for glowing skin? Then, sweetheart, this is the correct time. Visit a dermatologist for any skin concern you have or a facialist for treatments that can hydrate, tighten, and brighten your skin. But avoid anything too invasive—your skin needs time to settle.

• Continue With the Skin Prep

Consistency is the key, so stick to your skincare routine religiously. Cleanse, moisturize, and don’t forget the SPF. For that extra glow, you can amp up your hydration game with sheet masks or overnight treatments. The more you glow, the better your makeup will turn out! 

• Assemble a Few Essential Makeup Products 

Even if you have chosen to go with a MUA, you must buy a few makeup essentials that will be your go-to for quick fixes during the day. It can either be the lipstick shade you’re wearing, blush, highlighter, setting spray, or setting powder.

1 Week to the Wedding

Last week isn’t about adding stress; it’s about perfecting the details and keeping things calm and collected. So, here are a few makeup tips for brides that will help you get a beautiful, calm, and camera-ready face:

• Prep for that Pearly Smile

Your smile is the one that will light up your bridal glow, so let’s make it sparkle. Maintain good oral hygiene with gentle brushing and flossing, use home whitening strips, or opt for a professional treatment. But don’t overdo it—you don’t want sensitive teeth on your D-Day.

• Rest, Rest, and Rest

Stress can show up on your skin, so you cannot skip on your beauty sleep. Let your body recharge, and your skin repair itself because you don’t want to look drained or dull on your wedding day. 

If nerves are keeping you up, try calming teas, meditation, or a good audiobook. A well-rested bride is a radiant bride, so don’t skimp on this one.

• Stay Hydrated, Girl!

Staying hydrated is indeed the most important thing you need to do! Your skin will be plump and radiant only if you drink plenty of water throughout the day. Also, you can cut back on caffeine and alcohol—they can leave you feeling puffy and dehydrated.

• If Possible, Skip Using Any Makeup Products!

Let your skin breathe this week. Avoid applying any kind of makeup, even if it's minimal or lightweight. Don’t make any changes to your skincare routine, and allow your skin to soak in all that hydration.

• Confirm With Your Makeup Artist

This is the final check-in with your makeup artist. Confirm every little detail- timing, date, venue, or any essentials that they need from your side. 

On the Big Day

The big day is finally here! All the planning, prepping, and excitement have led to this moment, and now it’s time to just relax and enjoy the ride.

• Start the Day with Skincare

The morning of your wedding is all about radiance– inside and out! You have put in so much effort to achieve that clear, glossy skin, and we are sure the results will be quite visible by this time! But, the morning you are about to turn into a beautiful bride, your skincare routine can’t be left out. 

So, do what you usually follow! A quick, soothing face massage while you apply your skincare will give you that extra boost of relaxation and make your skin look even more luminous.

• Keep Your Last-Minute Essentials Handy

There can be a chance that things might not go as planned. You might forget something, or your dress’ zipper might turn rebellious. So, you need a mini emergency kit with you in your bridal suite, stocked with items like blotting papers, safety pins, a mini sewing box, perfume, fashion tape, mints, etc. 

• Leave it to the Professionals

You’ve chosen the best team of professionals for your makeup and hair—so let them do their thing! You’ve put in the work, and now it’s time to let them handle the details and deliver your dream look. Don’t stress, don’t rush; they’ve got it covered for you. 

• Protect Your Wedding Dress While Getting Ready

Your jaw-dropping wedding dress is gonna be the show-stopper of the whole event. So, while starting with your makeup, either wear a robe, an oversized, buttoned shirt, or any kind of cover-up because you don’t want to mess up with your makeup or hair at the last moment.

• Don’t Stress; Just Live in the Moment!

The more relaxed and present you are, the more stunning you’ll look. Take deep breaths, soak in all the love and joy around you, and enjoy every second of your big day.
