I agree with those who recommend you ask for free trials at cosmetics counters. This worked for me. Give yourself plenty of time to try out a few - they can be very busy on Saturdays but might suggest you come in at a pre-arranged time. I used a lot of Clinique - very helpful staff and good prices. The colours suggested seemed wrong at first, but by the end of the session I loved everything. I didn't feel pressured into buying the lot in one go - I bought the foundation immediately, but took time to think about the other items and went back the following week. Big tip - take a sample of the colour you'll be wearing rather than trying to describe it. Mine was purple (believe it or not!) and matching the exact shade was a real help. Good luck, have a lovely day and a very happy life together!

I don't have any specific tips for brands, but something to bear in mind is to make sure, if you are going for the natural look make sure you don't go too subtle and that you have a little colour otherwise you could look too pale and un-made-up in the photos. Once you find something have a couple of dummy runs and get someone to take a couple of flash photos with you wearing whatever colour your dress is and that will give you an idea of what looks most effective.
Good luck on your upcoming nuptuals.

its all aboul looking natural but also making sure the makeup isnt plastered on. estee lauder( available at a department store) have a great foundation with a lovely finish that lasts for nine hours its comes in honey bronze ( thats the one i use) and loads more. as for mascara id get one thats brown/black check out mabelline or benefit. eyeshadow go to mac tell them its your wedding and they will give you the perfect shades and useful tips. make sure u get a transulent loose powder and dust it lightly over your face to keep everything set again check out mac blotting powder you wont look dusty or chalky at all . have a great day

You are supposed to wear a bit more make up on your wedding day as the flash from the camera makes it look a lot paler so if you wear light natural make up it will look like you dont have any on in the photos, im not saying get married looking like a tart but just a little bit more than normal.

Try using Lancome Tient Idole foundation..it lasts for 14 hours and stays matte even on oily skin.
On your cheeks use bobbi brown shimmer brick in rose or pink for a light shimmer..
Best mascara is boujoris maxi frange mascara.
Don't know what colours you are having for your wedding but if you are having dark lips have neutral eyes...if you are having neutral eyes use a heavier coloured red lipstick. Heavy eyes and lips never go together...
It depends on your eyes and hair colour really!

Lots of department store makeup counters will do makeovers at no charge. The idea ofcourse is that they want to sell you make-up. My advice is to schedule several different appointments with various makeup artists representing several brands. One way to choose is to schedule with a woman whose makeup you like. Anyway, make sure you do this experimentation well in advance of the wedding. You wouldn't buy a wedding dress without trying on lots of different options-right? Have a friend take a photo of the finished product and put it in your wedding notebook, that way you can refer back to it when you are making a final selection.

Pop into your nearest Space NK, they do free make-up consultations. All the stores have qualified make-up artists, and if you really like the work they do you can hire the artist to do the work on the day.
My friend did this for her wedding day, it made it really special and the artist gave all the bridesmaid's and Mum's ideas too. They all looked fab!!!
