It’s wedding season and a woman’s wedding day should be the one she feels her most radiant and beautiful self, looking the absolute best version of herself!
The golden team at Napoleon Perdis cosmetics has a couple of fluster-proof wedding tips to ensure that every bride can celebrate their special ceremony radiating beauty and confidence – even when those pre-wedding jitters set in!
Eyebrow Waxing and Shaping –
Allow yourself 3 to 5 days before your special day for eyebrow waxing – this allows any redness and puffiness to calm before your wedding and allow for a smooth make-up application. Your brows are the frame to your face – no one wants to see an unkempt frame around a pretty picture!
Eyelash Extensions –
This semi-permanent eyelash application is a growing sensation in the beauty world! Eyelash extensions are individual synthetic eyelashes that are bonded with glue to the base of your natural eyelashes, giving a full, glamorous and effortless boost to any eye shape. Your natural eyelash cycle is approximately 6 weeks, so for the lashes to remain full, estheticians recommend that you fill your extensions every 3 to 5 weeks. These lashes can be worn naked or with non-waterproof mascara – Napoleon Perdis’ Peep Show Mascara’s the perfect complement to extensions – my personal favorite is Madame Fantasia which adds vivacious volume! These natural candellia wax and beeswax based mascaras condition lashes, preventing unsightly clumps and smudges. Be sure to remove the mascara with an oil-free make up remover (Dermalogica’s Soothing Make-Up Remover is effective) and a cotton swab!
(Eyelash Extensions are available at the following Planet Beauty locations – Newport Beach, Oakridge Mall in San Jose, Anaheim Hills, 17th Street in Santa Ana and Santa Barbara. To view our esthetician’s work at Santa Barbara, please visit Tina Davey’s website, www.believe-eyes.com).
And of course – Make-Up!
Do you normally wear a lot of make-up? If the answer is no, your wedding day is probably not the day to go wild with the color palette. Remember, you want to look like the best version of yourself – not a masked version. Every bride can create a flawless canvas by starting with Napoleon Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Primer (Not to Prime is a Crime!!). This instantly hydrating primer uses Chamomile and Yarrow Extract to refine and smooth the skins texture, no matter what your skin type, creating the perfect landing for your foundation.
Part of the wonder of Napoleon Perdis make-up is that it photographs flawlessly – they contain photochromatic pigments. These ultra fine micronized minerals stay consistent in every lighting, whether it be natural lighting or fluorescent, the make-up adapts to your surroundings so you don’t have to!
Napoleon China Doll Foundation and Stick Foundation both offer a flawless coverage under high definition cameras – both allow ample working time before setting to a matte finish. Finish with Napoleon’s Camera Finish Powder – this 3-in-1 conceals, covers and sets. This compact is perfect for touching up in between the ceremony, pictures, reception and whatever else your grand day entails.
Other touch-up items to keep you camera ready? Napoleon Devine Goddess Lipstick and Lip Pencil, Napoleon Perdis Eye Pencil and last but not least – cotton swabs!
So now you are your most flawless self, all there is left to say is “I DO!”
