Aqua Lip Waterproof Lipliner Pencil Rosewood. $17 at Sephora
Changing the color you line your lips with will instantly update your look. If you’ve been wearing those amazing brights this summer, change your lip pencil to a darker hue and work it into the brighter lipstick to give it a darker or dirtier cast — this will mute it and make it fall-wearable.
I just found some brilliant Makeup Forever waterproof lip liners at Sephora. They’re worth a try, and stay on all day, and help you have a worry free wedding day. $17
Or, try Clinique Quickliner for Lips in Crushed Berry or Bamboo, $14.

Before
I think this is excellent advice contributed by artist Pamela Jeschonek to the “Article” section of www.wedalert.com:
“…Ask any experienced Makeup Artist: the best makeup application in the world will not look its best if you have unmanaged eyebrows. The correct eyebrow shape can balance the face, make your eyes look larger and take years off your look.The trend right now is a natural, well-groomed eyebrow–a little thicker than in the recent past, but well-defined and soft. Gone are the days of pencil-thin eyebrows with a severe arch. Fairytale princesses had full, rounded eyebrows that gave them a soft, youthful, innocent look. Their wicked counterparts had severe, thin, highly arched brows that made them look mean, old and harsh. Definitely not the best look for a blushing bride!”

Finally!!!!!!!!!!! Someone else fesses up to wondering the same thing I’ve been wondering since I saw Twilight. In this day of movies featuring special effects that leave audiences completely awestruck, why can’t they get these poor vampires a decent makeup artist? Thank you, Vulture for saying it best: “How much money does a vampire have to earn before she deserves a decent wig? Must the werewolves get all the make-up crew’s love and attention?” Amen.

Click here to watch a very helpful video from top NYC photographer Sardi Klein:
Expert Tips for Looking Good in Photos – DailyCandy.
Here’s what Daily Candy has to say…
“Shiny forehead, freak grimace, bulging eyes — you’ve got an uncanny ability to ruin a photo. And thanks to Facebook tagging, the entire world can witness your awkward mugging until the end of time.
You could avoid cameras altogether. Or you could just watch today’s video, with its simple tips for looking great in pictures.
Our expert, Sardi Klein, longtime NYC photographer and professor at The New School and Pratt, has seen it all, from mothers of the bride who peer skyward to avoid double chins to businessmen whose phony smiles turn head shots into mug shots.
Follow her advice, and the next time someone tags you in a photo, you might just share instead of hide.”

From Makeuptip.com: “elegant” look
creating elegant, dramatic eyes
1. To create a gorgeous nighttime look, use light, medium and dark eyeshadow shades in graduated tones. Apply the dark shade along your lash line, the medium shade on the crease, and a light shade up to the eyebrow bone but not beyond. Soften and blend any hard edges so one color seems to melt into the next.
2. To open up your eyes so that they appear livelier, place a dot of a light shadow in the inner corner of each eye.
3. For a sexy, smoky effect, trace the upper and lower lashes with a dark shadow then smudge with a blending brush. To optimize the look, this can also be done over eyeliner.
