Bobbi Brown's tips for getting bride beautiful

Makeup guru Bobbi Brown shared the following tips for getting gorgeous on your wedding day:
1. Do a test run, on your own or with a makeup artist, and take pictures to see how you look on camera. "You might think you look okay, but you actually might look washed out," warns Brown.
2. "Make sure that your foundation matches your skin exactly," she says. Start around the nose and mouth where there's redness, then blend out to the rest of the face.
3. Set concealer and foundation with Sheer Finish loose powder to make them longer-lasting and avoid shine. "The concealer is for brightening under the eyes, and the foundation for evening out your skin," she says.
4. If your dress has an open neckline, be sure to warm up your neck and chest with a dusting of bronzing powder.
5. Your eye makeup will withstand tears if you stick to waterproof formulas. "Make sure your liner is a gel, mascara is waterproof and your eyeshadow is long-wear," she says.
6. After applying all your eye makeup, finish with a highlighter shade on your brow bone to make eyes pop. "Rub your finger in a light matte shade and pat lightly on the outer corner of the brow bone.
7. For a pretty flush that lasts, use two shades of blush. First, apply a neutral shade on the apples of cheeks, blending into the hairline, then downward to soften. Then apply a brighter shade just on the apples of cheeks.
8. Neutral and pale lip colors look washed out in photographs, so choose a lipstick that's one to two shades brighter than what you normally wear. "Not something intense," Brown says, "but maybe a few colors up." Pinks, roses and plums are great choices.

9. To make lip color last longer, line and fill in lips with a lip pencil before applying lipstick. "Put the lipstick on, then put a little more lip pencil on top, and it will stay on a long time."
10. Carry a touchup kit with concealer, pressed powder, lipstick or gloss, lip liner, tissues, mints and a mini-sewing kit (for emergency clothing fixes).
