If you've only got one month to go ,don't fret ,these bridal beauty tips will have you looking your best on your big day.

Skin Care

For a radiant and glowing skin on the D-day, begin your skin care regimen about six months before the wedding. Visit a dermatologist and get your skin type analysed. According to the result of skin analysis, choose your skin treatment and make up plan. Clean your face with an appropriate skin cleanser every day. To remove makeup, make sure you always use a makeup remover. After bath, use a body moisturizer to smoothen your skin. To tone and exfoliate your back and shoulders, go for back facial. The bride-to-be can enhance her complexion and get a beautiful and glowing face by having steam facial treatment at least once a month .  

You can also take care of your skin at home. Home remedies are 100% natural and you do not need to empty your pocket to get that simmering face.

Lip Care

Nobody would call a glowing face with chapped lips beautiful. Bride-to-be should stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids as dehydration causes loss of moisture and makes the lips dry. For soft and pouty lips, use a healing ointment on your dry lips. When choosing a lipstick, restrain from wearing dark shimmering colours.  Apply something which goes with your overall make up, skin colour and suits your wedding attire.

Hair Care

Do not rush for hair care one week before the wedding. Start grooming your hair 15 days before the D-day.  To get naturally shinning hair, drink plenty of water and increase the consumption of vitamin rich food. Go for bridal hair spa treatment that provides aroma therapy, hot oil massage, steaming of hair and other hair treatments. Hair spa will help you to rejuvenate dull and lifeless hair. If you are planning to get your hair coloured, watch out for the kind of products the stylist has in the kitty.

Foot and Hand Care

For adding an edge to your beauty, it is essential to clean your toenails and fingernails. Well-shaped and healthy looking nails will enhance your beauty.  Special care needs to be given to your feet if you wish to wear open toed footwear. Before going to bed, soak your feet in warm water for 10 days and use a scrubber to clean the heels. Get a pedicure and manicure treatment done just one week before the wedding. You can also use hand and foot care products at home. Choose any light coloured nail polish that goes with your wedding attire.

EYEBROWS

Most women, were born with sparse brows or simply went too far with the tweezers and blades, there is a fix to filling in your eyebrows. All it takes is a pencil, powder, and an angled brush or a clean mascara brush or wand.

Pick a Pencil and Powder Shade

Pencils and powders tend to stick to skin, not to hair, so if you don't have a lot of hair you'll want to shade in the skin where hair should grow.

Select a soft pencil (hard pencils tend to be too waxy) which is a shade lighter than your brows and a powder which matches the color of brows. If brows are super fair, choose a pencil that's a shade darker than brows.

Prep the Brows

First, comb out brows with a clean mascara wand. Examine brows for any sparse spots.

Fill in With Pencil

Use the pencil to fill in the sparse spots with short, feathery strokes. Apply in the direction of hair growth. The key here is not really to create a definite line, but to create the appearance of hair. Be careful how you  pencil the entire brow, so it doesn't  result in an unnatural look or an art work.

Your pencil should be super soft so it goes on with little exertion. But if you have a pencil that's too hard, warm the tip up by rubbing it between your fingers.

Follow With Eyeshadow or Brow Powder

Dip an angled brush or a clean mascara wand in eyeshadow. Brush the powder along the brows. It should stick to the pencil, while also acting to blend in the color perfectly. For more staying powder, dampen the brush slightly before dipping it into color.

Two Colors Instead of One?

You can try two colors when filling in brows: A light powder where brows are thickest and a darker shade for the tail ends.

Overplucked?

If you've overplucked (with tweezers), it will take a few months to a couple of years for hair to grow back.

Condition Brows

Conditioning your brows with e.g castor oil is a great way to keep brows healthy and looking great, (that’s if necessary)

The Shape of Brows

Fuller brows are preferable to skinny ones. Have eyebrows shaped by a pro every four weeks. Use a good tweezer or a new blade, to clean up the hairline in between visits.

How To Grow Your Brows

As a Makeup Artist I have discovered that "Eyebrows" are important as they influence the way we look. But due to hormonal imbalance, lack of nutrients and over-plucking among other reasons, it may take six to eight months to get your eyebrows normal growth back.
  
Here are some Tips to help you grow your Brows:  

        Castor or Olive oil:  They have a very unusual chemical composition which is found in lesser       concentrations in other seeds and oils. Gently massage the oil for 2-3 minutes on each eyebrow and leave it for some time. Wash them after 30 minutes with lukewarm water and a gentle facial cleanser. Repeat the process only once a day for consecutive days and stop urgently if any irritation occurs.

   Aloe-vera: If you have thinning eyebrow hair due to overplucking then you should definitely try the sap from aloe vera leaves on them. Crush aloe vera leaves and gently massage the juice over your eyebrows and let it seep in. The modulation effect of aloe vera helps in skin healing and increasing growth furthermore.

     

  Onions: The sulphur in onion juice can help in faster and denser regrowth of eyebrow hair. Grind an onion and rub the juice below eyebrow skin with help of cotton balls. Make sure you do not wash your eyebrows so that you derive its full benefit.

                 

                          Milky way: Milk  products are rich in protein and vitamins. Dip a cotton ball in milk and rub it over the eyebrow area at night. Inherited natural properties of milk provide nourishment to the hair roots and makes them grow faster.
