Bridal Beauty – Hair stylist

  • Know what you want before you speak to a hair stylist!
  • If you’re worried about what your hair will look like on your wedding day; pay for a trial run with your hair stylist, prior to the wedding.
  • Make absolutely sure your hair is clean and dry before the hair stylist arrives.
  • Bring any hair accessories or jewels, single wired flowers, etc. with you to your appointment
  • Always wear a button up shirt or robe during your stylist session (so you don’t have to pull anything over your head once you’re done).

GOLDEN RULES:

  • You must commit to doing this workout one day a week.
  • Perform each set as SLOWLY as you can.
  • At the end of the set if you feel like you can do one more, then do it!
  • You must do each set until failure. Make your muscles shake!

THE MINIMUM WEDDING WORKOUT:

Push-ups (on knees) – X7 – This move will supremely tone your chest. It will NOT flatten your boobs! Oh, and remember to do these as slow as you can!

Push-downs (plank) – X10 – That’s right, just start in a regular push-up position and go down to the ground as SLOW as you can. Roll off to the side and get back up for more!

Biceps (10lbs) – X15 – Sit with your elbow resting on the inside of your knee or stand up and bring your dumbbell up to your shoulder. Remember, as SLOW as you can!

Deltoids (5lbs) – X5 – Start standing with feet shoulder width apart. Hold your 5lb dumbbells in each hand (down by your side) and slowly lift arms straight out in front of you to shoulder height (palms down) and gently roll arms out away from you and back down to starting position. Slow, slow and slower!

Stay in the loop! Look for our next workout routine will teach you how to have sexy abs without going to the gym three days a week.

Beauty Trick

Beauty Tricks BEAUTY TRICK

Shape your brows.

A well-groomed brow is our first beauty trick can take years off your look. You just got to find a reputable salon in your area to help you obtain a nice clean shape that you can maintain. The cost runs $10 – $15. 

Aim for a flawless complexion:

Healthy looking skin starts with an awesome cleanser, toner and magic potion. Not all products work on everyone so we recommend that you ask your mom what works best for her. After all, this is where your DNA came from so doesn’t it make sense to ask your mom what she is using. One trick we use on sudden blemishes is to hold an ice cube directly onto the breakout for a few minutes. This is a beauty trick that actually works and it will reduce the swelling and minimize the pore, which will allow you to effectively use make-up to cover it.

Protect your face:

Protecting your face with an awesome sunscreen is the key to an even skin tone. Try these two awesome products. Shiseido Ultimate Sun Block Lotion, it’s water resistant and has a SPF 50 or Total Block Clear with a SPF 65. Both offer full sun protection and don’t leave your face feeling greasy. 

Target your foundation color:

It is important that you find a foundation color that matches your neck. Staying on the yellow side of the spectrum will make you look younger. Try Bare Minerals line for a more natural look and apply over Estee Lauder maximum cover foundation to successfully hide any imperfections. 

Create brighter eyes:

Have you ever heard of using white eyeliner? How about a light shadow on the inner corners of your eyes? Both of these works! The actual beauty trick is finding the perfect placement and color of shadow to pull it off. First Class Weddings recommends that you visit your favorite department store and schedule a free makeover at one of the counters. You can test out any new products and experiment with methods of applications to help determine what works best for you. And, it’s fun!

Take care of those lips:

Finally, don’t forget about your lips! Any naturally tinted lip balm with sunscreen is a must carry item. If you want to avoid chapped lips, try using Super Lysine Plus lip balm with 24 SPF on a daily basis.

Eye Cream

Eye CreamEye Cream
Every bride knows that looking their best on their wedding day is priority number one. A good eye cream can not only help maintain a brides youthful appearance, it can literally hold back the signs of time.
First Class Weddings has tried nearly every eye cream under the sun over the last few decades yet these are the ones that currently warrant your attention.
eye cream
$8.99
Vitamin E Oil 40,000 I.U. (or more). The benefits of using this pure oil around the eye area (as your eye cream) before you go to bed provides concentrated skin healing and preservation. It also provides the skin with the necessary moisture and antioxidants necessary to intensely heal the skin. Vitamin E oil also goes beneath the skin surface (blocking free radicals), it aids in collagen production and gives skin it’s elasticity, making it a wonder treatment for scars, brown spots, sleepy eyes and other troubled skin issues.
eye cream
$190.00
Nutura Bisse Diamond Eye Cream. This is one of the most expensive eye cream available on the market today. It contains a high concentration of active ingredients to brighten, and lift the area around the eyes. It also claims to reduce the appearance of dark circles & puffiness, provides hydration, firmness and creates a natural barrier that renews the skin. Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it?
Let’s Compare Ingredients.
  1. Vitamin E oil contains only pure Vitamin E.
  2. Nutura Bisse contains Artemia Selena Extract, Ursolic Acid, Lipoaminoacids, Epidermal Lipid Supplement with Amaranth, Mango and Shea butters, Botanical Gotu-Kola with Callendual & Horse Chestnut, Edelweiss Extract, White Water Lily Extract, and Light Interfering Pigments.

Applications: Softly pat around eye area (even over your lid) until nearly dissolved (even over the lips), the Vitamin E Oil is very thick and sticky whereas the Nutra Bisse is a white medium weight cream. Both of these products claim to have the results we all are looking for, yet if the Vitamin E Oil offers the same results (or better) at a fraction of the price then we want to know about it.

Make-up

Wedding Make-up

The history of make-up dates back as far as the ancient Egyptians who used copper and lead ore to create the world’s first beauty products.  With the advancement of technology, today there are a number of effective beauty products, tips and tricks to help enhance your overall wedding day look (minus the harmful substances of course!).

Check out these fabulous beauty and make-up tips!

Complexion:

Beautiful skin is the ultimate “beauty accessory” so care for it wisely. Do your research and plan on making a line item in your wedding budget for some high-end products. And when the moment comes that you find something that really works, don’t change it!

Face:

Sunscreen is essential to helping maintain an even skin tone.  It is important that you find a product that provides exceptional protection from the sun and neither leaves your face feeling greasy or oily like so many other products do. Our favorite is Shiseido 55, it doesn’t leave a film, make-up sits nicely on top of it and it has amazing protection.

Foundation:

The most common misconception of foundation is that the color should match your face when in fact the perfect foundation or mineral powder should blend flawlessly with the color of your neck.  And most women tend to have a more pink to olive (yellow) skin tone so it is important to remember that products out there are mostly on the pink side of the spectrum. Our favorite is mineral make-up by Bare Essentials

Brows:

Whatever you may or may not think, eyebrows are an important facial feature, especially on your wedding day. Find a skilled technician that you can trust. By doing so, the right shape and color fill can take years off your face.

Eyes:

Yes, white eyeliner brightens the overall look of the eye (when used correctly) and the color of your eyes plays an important role in the make-up you wear on your eyes.

Smile:

Yes, white teeth are a must! There are a lot of different options out there so find out what works best for you and do it!
