The damned pimple, the bride's shoes and other scary stories

My beloved Nia Vardalos, from the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 1", the moment she discovers the cursed pimple. THERE IS NO OTHER STORY AS TRUE AS THIS.

Unfortunately, when you are (or you think you are) ready for your wedding, after hair removal, exfoliation and all the other martyrdoms of a bride-to-be, that damned pimple pops up. To tell the whole truth, it is not the pimple, but the timing (remember Carrie Bradshow..) Do not stress, though. There are many ways to cover it. The issue is elsewhere. And it is called makeup. According to the experts, a light makeup is the most appropriate for the bride, but your insecurity, forces you to exaggerate. Here I will show you which makeup you should avoid and which will relieve you.

Consider some very bad contributors who enjoy harassing you, first at the church and then at the reception

all those lights that raise the temperature
the crowd
that awkwrd moment when EVERYONE is looking at YOU
your wedding dress
the gloves (if you wear gloves)
the rice and / or the sweets that fall on you
the embarrassment of the moment
the bridesmaid's comments (if he is a best man, ok)

I promise you, even if you do NOT usually sweat, you will probably sweat there. Either because of the embarrassment, or because of everyone else. I remind you that your bridesmaid wishes to fix something on you for the perfect looks. Yes, you hold yourself to be decent and not blast, but she might be right sometimes (e.g your wedding dress is torn, or the zipper is open somewhere).

Very well, we have laid some foundations. And now, here's what to avoid in your makeup:

1. Arabic style makeup Let it go for the time being. You'll have your Thousand and One nights soon. For God's shake!

2. False eyelashes because they will not be so convenient for you, believe me.

3. Anything that makes you not look like you really are. It's scary!

4. Crimson lips, false eyelashes, intense eyebrows, contouring. Destruction!

5. Intense eye- shadow, glitter, eye liner, plus those lips ...No, my sweetheart. Wrong place and time.

Do not despair, though. It's the unique day you are not allowed to make mistakes, but let the experienced artists help you. Trust the makeup artist, but if you have second thoughts, tell him/her about, without hesitation.

So here are some suggestions, to enjoy your youth and beauty without any "fatal" mistakes.

That nude makeup I love! Emphasis on your eyes!

Very good so far. We will move on to the next "nightmare" of the bride...

Shoes! But what style, color, heel, decoration?

I know brides who buy their bridal shoes by ordering their favorites from manufacturers they know from their grandmothers and mothers. The majority, however, buy - after exhaustive search - from brands. Right there, you have to pay close attention to the following crucial points for the day and the moment:

do they match your dress?
what color will you choose?
when will you get married (season)
where will you walk? (eg on cobblestones, high heels are a problem)
how many hours will you be standing up?
have you worn this style again?

I really want to help, but I know very well that in the end, you will choose the one that will seduce you. No one to blame. I did it and I am doing the same, all the time. But, think of your precious feet ...
