The temptation to overcompensate with make-up, and use it in a way you wouldn’t dream of ordinarily, is strong when you get married.
I know this, having been saved the shame of walking up the aisle in frosted mauve eyeshadow and corresponding lipstick by a beady-eyed sister, at my own wedding.
What was I thinking? Despite the years spent writing about beauty before this, keenness to look my best somehow derailed my better judgment and threatened to turn me into a fright-night bride.

Bridal make-up presents a challenge in that, while you want to look lovely and may be tempted to try something new to achieve this, there is a fine line between getting it right and compromising yourself. Your fiancé will doubtless say you look best without any make-up at all, but on this you should ignore him completely. For even if you don’t wear a scrap of make-up normally, or bother with it for the rest of your married life, on this day it is non-negotiable.
Your face needs colour to compensate for the paleness of your dress, and even if you are not wearing white, you still need definition for the camera. Cosmetics such as brow-bone highlighter, false lashes and brow and lip pencil were invented for this day because they define and subtly emphasise features. Experiment with these face-makers and eye and lip colours well before your wedding, with an expert or friend who knows, wearing a white T-shirt, and take a selfie in daylight so you can copy the look.
There is a big difference between being a camera-ready bride and an over-made-up one – it’s not only about piling on colour. Really, your make-up should appear natural, as if you didn’t have to try too hard to look this lovely.
