In some photographs, my face looks distinctly orange. Be careful out there, brides.

I argued enough with my mother about her opinion that I needed a spray tan. I don't think I could have handled my M-I-Ls input without a total meltdown!

But consulting a professional is a good idea... otherwise you may end up, the week before the wedding, having a massive argument with your maid-of-honor in Sephora about the need to wear blush.

Perhaps choosing a loose palette of colors in a brand one can trust and then modifying that selection as needed later on would be more realistic.

People who are going to be photographed need to consider how those photos will look in 20 years. A simple look will keep well, but a trendy look will soon become passe. (Simple doesn't mean completely natural--the top bride looks like her eyebrows have been plucked, trimmed, and maybe penciled in a bit.) But purchasing makeup three months in advance? You can learn trigonometry in less time! Besides, a bride's face may be a few shades darker in June than it was in March.
