Beauty tips given to second-time brides
written by Virginia Funk
North County Times
The bride who is saying "I do" for the second time often is blessed
with a deeper self-awareness than she was the first time at the altar.
The remarrying bride is older, and she knows more about who she is and
what she wants. This, no doubt, extends to her approach to beauty and
fashion.
The time of day and where your wedding will be held are the most
important elements in determining your approach to fashion and beauty.
As a guideline, keep in mind that a daytime wedding is generally less
formal than an evening ceremony.
The majority of women who are marrying for the second time usually
bypass the long dress and formal veil for a more understated look.
However, nowadays there are few, if any, restrictions. The remarrying
bride may choose to wear a white gown, and the ceremony may be as
elaborate as one wishes. It is important to note that every bride
should strive to look stylish, but never trendy. Leave those way-out
looks for nights out during your honeymoon.
To make the second time around memorable and stunning:
Wear a foundation shade geared to your specific skin color so you face
will look fresh and natural. A contemporary makeup palette in pastels
will provide a warm glow to any woman's complexion or fashion color.
Blondes should opt for the softer pink and rose tones; brunettes for
vivid corals and pinks; redheads for the peach and soft coral shades.
To tear-proof the eyes, use a good waterproof mascara and a stay-put
base for eyeshadow.
* If you wear glasses, don't be shadow-shy. Be sure to choose
eyeshadows bright enough to show through the lenses and maintain the
balance of color on the rest of the face.
* Eyebrows should be natural-looking so don't over tweeze. Brush on
brown color softly to create a realistic hair-like look.
* Dim lighting in churches and synagogues tends to make people look
washed out, especially in photos or video tapes, so don't be afraid to
wear enough color on eyes, cheeks and lips.
* Line lips with a pencil and fill in with lip color.
* The focal point of the new suit look is the jacket. It's longer and
leaner, shaped through the waist and hip. The skirt is straight and
hovers around the knees. In white or off-white damask or silk crepe,
the suit is refreshingly classic, is really irresistible in
face-flattering tints such as pink, raspberry, aqua, celadon and
lemon, and is perfect for a day or evening wedding. Under a suit, try
a clean-lined silk T-shirt in the same or softly contrasting color. Or
for baring the shoulders later, a silk tank top that's cut in, a
sleeveless turtleneck, or a back-baring halter.
* What makes the new dresses a perfect choice for the second-time
bride is the ease with which they drape. The wrap dress in silk closes
languidly to one side with the look of an elongated tunic. If you
don't care for wrap dresses, why not make one terrific dress by
pairing two pieces such as a silk shirt tucked into a matching softly
draped sarong skirt? In pale colors, of course!
* A hat with veil perched to one side or fresh flowers in the hair
will complete whatever bridal effect you want to achieve.
It goes without saying, if you take regular care of your skin, learn
to apply a contemporary makeup palette and choose the right apparel,
you will not only look and feel young the second time around, you'll
feel like a bride long after the traditional ceremony. Good luck and
God bless!
