Beauty Tips
■ BY DEBRA LEE BALDWIN

The most beautiful bride is the
one who looks the most natural. In
her breathtaking gown, face glowing
with excitement, her natural radiance
shines through.
Such beauty can't be copied —
but it can be polished. With a bit of
careful planning and some smart
beauty strategies, even the busiest of
brides can look wonderful before,
during and after that most special of
days.
It doesn't take much time to find
the best look for you. Ten extra
minutes a day devoted to skin and
nail care, one or two weekend
afternoons spent practicing your
makeup, will yield lovely results.
Now is the time to consult the
experts. You'll want your colors done
first. Your makeup and accessories,
the subtle shades in your wedding
ensemble, the flowers you carry and
the colors of your bridesmaids'
gowns should be based, at least in
part, on your personal palette.
Visit a hairdresser to discuss
styles and haircuts; if possible, bring
along the headdress you'll be
wearing. Start a conditioning regimen
as soon as possible to make sure your
hair will lustrous and healthy.
Today's hair fashions for brides is,
for the most part, simple. The
emphasis is on a natural, healthy
look. If your hair is long and your
wedding style romantic, you might
want to have your hair permed into
flowing waves. For a sophisticated
look, consider a sculptural hairpiece
— perhaps one that resembles a tight
braid woven into a bun.
Bridal makeup is never so bold it
calls attention to itself — yet it's
impossible to forgo it altogether (your
face will disappear amid all that
white). A consultation with a
professional makeup artist is a must
— and well worth the cost.
Pastels are currently popular, both
in makeup and nail color. Harsh reds,
purples and browns have given way
to shades of mauve, rose, peach and
fawn. A few wedding day hints: Watch
out for shine that will show up in
photographs. Keep a powder
compact handy, as well as your
lipstick, and choose a mascara that
won't run if you cry.
