Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and one of the best ways to remember the event is through wonderful wedding photographs. Naturally, you will want to look your best in each and every photo. It's important to devote extra attention to your skin, hair and makeup. Follow the tips below to look flawless and beautiful on your big day.

1 - Apply eyeshadow. If you're using eyeshadow trios or quads, don't feel you have to follow any set of rules. Don't be afraid to experiment. To make your eyes look wider, use the lightest shade of shadow on the inner corner of your eye. Use a shimmering shade over your entire lid and layer them over regular eyeshadows. Use a darker shade in the center of your lid or in the crease for contouring.

2 - Use waterproof mascara. You never know who will get emotional and teary on your big day! Encourage everyone in your wedding party to use waterproof mascara to avoid running and smudging. Use a flat eyeliner brush instead of a mascara wand to put mascara on your lower lashes. This will help to prevent the mascara from smearing below your eyes.

3 - Fix smudged eye makeup carefully. If you smudge your eye makeup more while trying to fix it, you may have to wipe it off completely and begin all over again. To remove a smear or smudge, wet a cotton swab with makeup remover. Gently dab at the smudge until it is gone. Work carefully and slowly. Do not wipe at the mistake, and do not remove too much.

4- Use a bold lip color to brighten up your look for your reception. A bright lip color will make your teeth look whiter. If you use a bold, deep lip color, keep the rest of your makeup rather neutral. Keep your eye makeup soft and not severe. Make sure your lipstick and blush are in the same color family.
