BEAUTY RULES TO WED BY

Trial like you’re Lindsay Lohan. It’s essential to book several makeup and hair tests so you can try different looks without pressure. This might require multiple visits to the salon, but it’s worth the time and effort—and will allow for a more relaxed wedding day. Bring photos of styles you like, but be open to suggestions; your stylist will know what is realistic for your hair type. The ultimate end goal is to look like you, pumped up by about 30 percent. In other words, your groom should recognize you as you enter the room. Never worn a red lip in your life? This is not the day for a cherry debut. Know thyself!

Tip: Carry these in your (bridesmaid’s) clutch... Blotting papers, false-eyelash glue, hairpins, breath mints, Rescue Remedy, concealer, a mini sewing kit, clear deodorant, tissues, your phone and lipstick.
