We publish, I'd say, approximately 4 jillion beauty tricks a year over at Girls in the Beauty Department—but here are just three I think every bride should know.
1. I've said it before, but I'll say it again—you just have to make a tiny V of pale shimmery eyeliner at the inner corners of your eyes. All the Victoria's Secret models do this even when they're not wearing much makeup—it brings tons of light to your eye area and brightens your whole face.
2. Don't apply your mascara (or individual false lashes) evenly all over—instead, be strategic. If you want a doll-like wide-eyed look, emphasize the lashes at the center of your eye more (with more mascara and/or longer false lashes). If you want a sexy shape, more like a cat-eye, do up the lashes at the outer corners more.
3. Use a rosy skin illuminator. It's not something you necessarily have in your everyday makeup arsenal, but it's worth adding for your wedding day. When you blend it onto your cheekbones, it plays up your bone structure while also adding some natural-looking radiant glow. Click the link for some examples of products.
