Tears of Joy

I get all emotional and teary eyed when I watch old movies. So when my wedding day comes I already know there are going to be some tears of joy. Only problem is after you have your makeup done those tears of joy turn you into a smudgy mess. Here's a tip that will leave you looking flawless after you have gotten all emotional. The trick is to-Cry Cute!

I'm sure everyone has told you to wear waterproof mascara. But here's something you might not have known: No mascara is completely smudge proof. So you should never mash the tissue against your mascara. Always allow the tears to roll out from the inner corner of your eyes and onto your cheeks prior to blotting. Keep word BLOT never wipe away your tears. This will help keep your makeup in place.

Bridal Beauty Trends for Spring/Summer 2008

Most people during the bridal season get excited about the new trends for dresses. For me, it’s all about the new beauty trends with hair and makeup. I love watching the bridal runway shows to get a glimpse of what’s going to be hot for the upcoming season. Here are my top 4 picks of beauty trends to look for.

Accessorize Your Hair

You can never under estimate the power of accessories. Here I took a simple side ponytail (which is also going to be big this year) and made it into a really fun and elegant style. This season brides will be wearing everything from brooches, silk flowers,feathers and hair vines made with crystals or pearls.

A Fuchsia Lip

I love this trend from designer Carmela Sutera she felt that a fresh face with a colorful lip was a simple way for women to look chic and pretty. I totally agree with her. Because a stronger lip complements a bride’s healthy glow and looks amazing in pictures
