Celebrity Wedding Beauty Secrets
Getting Gorgeous Like the Stars
(ARA) - When it comes to planning their wedding day, it's no
surprise that women want to look their absolute best. According
to a recent survey of women, looking fabulous was a top concern
… beat out only by getting through the actual vows. However, the
number one wedding day beauty fear is that they will look too
much like their everyday selves, so it is easy to see why 61
percent want to have the look of a celebrity bride.
"Hollywood's celebrity bridal beauties truly set the stage for
women across the country," says Star magazine beauty director
Tara Kraft. "And looking like a star for your own wedding day
can seem effortless with a few easy beauty tips and tools."
Creating a "picture perfect" make-up look for a wedding or any
day is all about using the right tools. To help women "get
gorgeous" and look like an A-lister on their most important day,
celebrity make-up artist Mally Roncal offers her favorite
make-up tips:
"It's easy to get the look of your favorite celebrity with the
help of Q-tips cotton swabs," says Roncal. "They are the
ultimate beauty tool for blending, applying or removing make-up
because they are gentle, convenient and allow for precise
application so you can look gorgeous on your special wedding
day."
* Glowing Bride -- Hollywood is about glowing skin. For a
natural, "girl-next door" look, use a Q-tips cotton swab to
apply light pink or nude colored shimmer to your cheekbones
highlighting your most prominent features. These convenient
make-up applicators are versatile and do the job of many
brushes. To complete the golden, radiant look, apply bronze or
peach blush across the apples of your cheeks and blend.
* Long, Lovely Lashes -- Eye lashes need a little extra 'oomph'
to really show up in wedding photos. An easy tip to achieve long
willowy lashes is to simply apply a few extra coats of mascara.
First apply one coat of mascara, then dip a Q-tips cotton swab
in translucent powder and sweep over lashes. They allow for
precise make-up application, especially in hard-to-reach places
like the eyes. Finally, cover with a second coat of mascara and
prepare to flutter away!
* Glamour Eyes -- For a dramatic eye, apply a dark colored eye
shadow on your eyelid and use a Q-tips cotton swab to smudge and
blend to create a smoky, sultry look. Blending eye shadow is
essential in order to avoid a harsh, overdone look. Q-tips are
disposable so you can use a fresh one every time without mixing
colors and can also help prevent eye irritations that may occur
with reusable brushes.
* Sleeping Beauty -- If you have been stressed or losing sleep
as the wedding date draws near, simply use a Q-tips cotton swab
to apply concealer under the eyes to hide dark circles. They are
soft and gentle making them perfect for the delicate skin around
the eyes. Then apply a light eye shadow or white powder on the
inner corners of the eye to create a bright, wide-eyed look with
minimal effort.
* Secret "I Do" Beauty Tool -- If you are worried about getting
a little weepy when you say, "I do," try tucking a few Q-tips
cotton swabs inside your flower bouquet before walking down the
aisle and use them to touch up runny mascara. This trick can
prevent those tears of joy from ruining your look … and your
pictures!
