Your wedding day is the one day in your entire life when you want to look perfect. Unfortunately, beauty disasters can and do happen. Here are four wedding day beauty disasters, as well as tips on how to prevent and fix them.
1. You Scheduled Your Eyebrow Wax too Late
It’s ideal to schedule your eyebrow wax at least one week before the wedding to prevent your brows from looking red, puffy, and bumpy. If you did schedule your appointment too close to the wedding, request hypoallergenic wax if possible. This will help reduce inflammation, especially if you’re sensitive to wax. If the damage is already done, apply Aloe Vera to your brows the night before the wedding to reduce inflammation.
2. A Pimple Popped up on Your Wedding Day
Pimples are more likely to occur when you’re stressed. If one pops up on your wedding day, see if a dermatologist will schedule an emergency appointment for a cortisone injection. If this isn’t possible, apply Aloe Vera and an ice pack to the pimple to reduce inflammation When you apply your makeup, add a light powder to help cover it up.
3. A Brazilian Bikini Wax Went Bad
If you have sensitive skin, it’s ideal to schedule your bikini wax at least two days in advance – though one day in advance is ideal for most women. If you’ve woken up on the day of your wedding and found that your skin down there is red and inflamed, it’s ideal to use a calming cream. Aloe Vera and an ice pack can also help reduce inflammation. Try to avoid wearing tight nylon or silk underwear. Keep lacy or cotton underwear on hand in case this problem arises.
4. You Can’t Stop Sweating and Your Makeup’s Running
Depending on the time of year and how nervous you are, you may find that you just can’t stop sweating on the day of your wedding. For starters, be sure to use a clinical strength deodorant. Also be sure to bring blotting paper to help absorb sweat. Be sure to blot your forehead often to prevent it from looking shiny in pictures. Wear waterproof mascara and eyeliner. Also be sure to bring a makeup bag to retouch your makeup as needed.
Your wedding day may seem like it’s filled with disasters just waiting to happen, but there are many easy ways to prevent them from happening, as well as easy fixes. Calming your nerves can help reduce your risk of other wedding day dilemmas, such as an upset stomach, from happening.
