Answer 1

Great dress - just gorgeous!
1] start a slin care routine now. Buy a face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen for your skin type. [ dry or sensitive ]
Wash and apply sunscreen in AM, wash and apply moisturizer in PM.
2] exfoliate with Aapri or St. Ives apricot scrub 1-2 times a week - your skin will glow!
3] avoid fried, fast, or junk food - even diet junk food
4] drink 1/2 gallon of water a day
5] take a quality vitamin with minerals every day
6] Makeup - first, are you a
WARM - look better in: ivory, tomato, peach, orange, rust, golden yellow, lime, kelly or olive green, turquoise. teal. bright purple, caramel, chocolate brown, gold.
COOL - look better in white, pink, raspberry, cherry red, coral. lemon, mint, jade, or hunter green, any blue but teal, lavender, eggplant, gray, black, silver.
Choose makeup colors from your group - cool - pink blush, berry lips, charcoal gray liner, black mascara.
warm - peach blush, tomato or caramel lips, expresso brown liner and mascara.
7] make an appointment at a department store cosmetic counter. They are free, and will help with problems. You don't have to purchase anything, but if you really like something, go ahead.
Otherwise, think it over, and buy cheaper version at the drugstore.
8] also, try loose translucent powder all over your face/eye area prior to making up - it helps set the colors.
9] bring touch up colors in your bag, and put maid of honor in charge of reminding you.

first off u must find a REALLY good moisturizer for dry skin. u hav to if u dont want flaky skin in your wedding pictures. for your wedding i suggest u get a primer. primers help make the makeup last . a good primer will keep your makeup looking fresh for your whole wedding and your skin will look smooth. find a foundation (depending on whether u want sheer, medium or heavy coverage) that moisturizes while your wearing it. or helps soothe dry skin. find a foundation that matches your skin perfectly. i suggest if u want light coverage and want to really match your skin tone to use Loreal True Match super blendable makeup. it is amazing! depending on what kind of eyelashes u got (thick, thin, short, long..) u would want to get a mascara that meets your lashes needs. and get waterproof. im sure ther will be tears and a waterproof will keep your eyes looking pretty even if u shed a few tears. you may want a lil blush or a lil bronzer for your cheeks. and you gotta figure out if u want a lipstick or lip stain or lipstick with a lip gloss.... thers a lotta details u gotta consider. add a few more details on the specifics that u need....thanx and good luck!

You can use Matte Dream Mousse from Maybelline, its really great for people with more dry skin. you should also get a Physicians Formula light bronzer to add some color to your cheeks. If you put that on top of the Matte it wont dry out your skin, and unless you touch your face a lot it won't fade off for quite a while. Maybe you should use a moisturizing face mask before you go to bed then put aveeno lotion on afterwards, that will definitely help your pores develop more moisture.

Answer 4

You should use mineral makeup as it gives you a natural, even, flawless look. I use everyday minerals and it's fantastic! It's made from all natural minerals and contains spf 15 in it. It won't irritate or make your skin break out and it stays on long enough until you decide when to wash it off. It's a 100% gurantee or your money back!

I'd say theres a few things you could do..i'm not a make-up artist but many people say I should be...i don't use that much make up but i use what will make you shine..i'd say you could use Bare minerals...in very light..now they have red undertones or bronze myself i need red because i get red easily...i DON'T use the liquid that comes with it in the box...DON'T use the Vitamins for your face for before you put it on though..it will make you itch if your in the sun..i just use cetiphil hypoallergenic lotion on my face since i have VERY dry skin and then i use bare minerals..and it works..it has very clear directions on how to use it..otherwise...i use Covergirl Advanced Radiance in Classic Ivory cream foundation or Maybelline Instant Age rewind cream foundation in light or 1 very light(Ivory)....they work very well umm as far as your eyeshadow goes i would use natual looking colors that match your skin and then maybe use a little very light pinks with a hint of shimmer in it on you eyelid with CG lash exact mascara(Purple Tube) and either very mauve lipstick in rose or a hint of pink lip gloss...you want to glow with your natural beauty showing through not pound of makeup so i hope this helps if you need anything else let me know my yahoo name is Sobrietygil88 Good Luck

Answer 6

Since you have no experience with make-up, for your big day I would advise going somewhere to have it done. You can contact local salons and some store, like Sephora. Tell them to make you look natural. You don't want to be rockin' a drag queen look down the aisle, unless your a drag queen. If you don't like that approach, have some friends over and just have them experiment with different colors and such. You don't have to go heavy on the foundation either. I don't even where it because it makes my face extra oily. Good luck!

Answer 7

Oh my goodness your dress is absolutely gorgeous. Since the dress is white, and since your pale, you should go for a more natural look, not bright colors. Do nude-colored lips, brown mascara, and peachy-colored blush. An eyeshadow that's good for most eye colors is a peachy-pink. Also, if makeup comes off your skin really easily, try using makeup primer, eye makeup primer, and lip color sealant. They keep your makeup in place longer.

Answer 8

I have very dry skin as well...and I'm pale. Haha! I use Bare Minerals and I love it! It doesn't feel like you are wearing make up at all! I usually purchase mine at Sephora...

Answer 9

I know how you feel. You can just use TINTED moisturizer. It feels soft on your face and it also makes you look like you're wearing foundation cuz it's tinted. I got mine from Sephora, it's $18 but worth it.

If you don't like it, then you can just visit a local Sephora and they will help you ALOT, believe me. They know so much ...

By the way, that's a GORGOUS dress :)
