Comments on: How to Adapt Your Makeup for Your Wedding Day

on 7/18/2006 You'll want to wear more makeup than usual to hold up to the flash of the cameras. Wear less for the ceremony and put on more makeup directly before getting your pictures taken.

on 12/19/2005 I would highly recommend the Lasting Lip colors at Victoria Secret. I was very weary of their claim, but the color looks great all day long and it comes with a gloss. I would stay away from the frosted colors as they look unnatural. But overall, this is a great product.

on 11/22/2005 If you do use these new lipsticks (which I do recommend because they do last all day), be sure NOT to use Chapstick to replace the moisturizer. Petroleum-based products like Chapstick are, in fact, the only thing that will work to take the stay-put lipstick off. If you do run out of the moisturizer, use non-petroleum products like Softlips. Chapstick DOES work very well to get the stay-put lipstick off at the end of the night, though, as well as regular Vaseline.

on 11/22/2005 Be careful when choosing colors of the new all-day lipsticks. If you choose a color much darker than your natural lip tone, if it wears off even a millimeter or two from the inside (as tends to happen), it can leave your smile less than perfect. You will end up with an uneven inner lip line, and with these lipsticks, you can't reapply another coat without fully removing the first or it will flake. So, stick to colors that compliment your own, rather than anything extreme. I do recommend the one made by Cover Girl.

on 11/22/2005 I just discovered Cover Girl's long wear lipstick which comes in 2 separate parts; the color and the moisturizer. This stuff really does stay on! Try your color out well in advance of when you need it, because if it's on your lips for even 30 seconds you will have it on for the day. You'll just have to reapply the moisurizer throughout the day or chapstick or something.

on 11/22/2005 To choose a lipstick with staying power, remember: the drier it is, the longer it lasts. These usually come in the format of "matte." Tip: apply the first coat, blot, POWDER with translucent and re-apply!

on 11/22/2005 I am a cosmetician and I always recommend that you and your bridal party have your facial treatments at least a week in advance, because you might have a reaction to the products. Even hypoallergenic isn't always so!
