YOUR SKIN : DIY OR SOS ?
Before you read any further , remember this key tip : it is usually best to work with what you have already got rather than trying to create a new image for yourself . Enhance your best features and you are already on the way to beauty on the day .
The most important thing you can do is to look after your skin properly . Forget going to bed without taking your make-up off and get into the habit of regularly cleansing , toning and moisturising your skin twice a day , morning and night .
However , beauticians can be expensive , especially if your budget is rather tight . You can still do a great job yourself by deciding on the products you want to use and practising as much as possible . To learn the basics , why not book a make-over in a department store , where you can learn some handy tips for the Big Day ?
It is important to use products that suit your skin type , so why not book yourself a skin consultation at a local department store ? These are often free or inexpensive and are a great way to learn about what skin type you are ( e . g . normal , combination or dry ) and the sort of products that will best suit you .
Armed with this information , you can then either buy the products used in your consultation or buy cheaper versions . Do not feel pressurised into buying on the day as , sometimes , products might not agree with your skin . Make-up is more tricky , especially if you normally do not wear it much . Hiring a beautician is the safest way of getting it right as they will know what colours suit you and how to apply the trickier things like mascara and eyeliner .
