Make sure the foundation and all other makeup products agree with your skin tone. Foundation should match the skin tone or be one shade lighter than your natural skin color, never darker. I slightly lighten the base color with my brides. This makes their bone structure look more prominent giving the face contouring and highlighting effects.

Your lip color should have a mauve or blue undertone, never brown or orange. Brown and orange undertones will make your teeth appear yellow (especially in photographs).

If you want to use faux lashes, use natural looking strip-lashes with an invisible band. These will blend the best with your natural lashes and will make your eyes look huge and “lifted” in photos. A good rule is to look for lashes that are shorter at the inner corner (closest to the nose) and longer toward the outside edge.
