[Bride.Beauty]
Eyes are the big beauty focus this season. Whether they're soft and fresh or strongly shaded aka the smoky eye! Well shaped brows and lush lashes create a full on fringe for rocking the bridal runway.
MAC currently has some beautiful eyeshadow quads that are guaranteed to make your eyes dazzle!
[Beautiful.Brows]
Start with a great shape. Three steps to the perfect arch.

[Lush.Lash]
False lashes A full lash strip adds density to the entire lash line. It opens up your eyes and it looks fabulous in pictures. My faves are MAC #7, #3 and #36. Red Cherry 601 and 501
Individual lashes are for the bride that doesn't want the commitment of a full lash strip, they're great for adding a little flare to the eye. For filling in sparse lashes and they look the most natural.
Lash Extensions These semi permanent, synthetic lashes are glued on individually to your lashes and they last about 6 weeks. It takes 2 hours to apply but it is so worth it, imagine waking up hot with big beautiful lashes and not having to apply makeup on your honeymoon. (heaven)

If you want to have full and long lashes by using mascara only, than you must try these mascaras:

Bride to be Before
B2B After She is going for a stylized look. Natural tones with sculpted cheeks and a nude lip.
A more natural look for a morning wedding varies greatly from the more dramatic look of an evening ceremony. The way the sunlight changes throughout the day can influence the way your makeup appears in photos. It can also affect the type of lighting your photographer will choose when he photographs you.
Brides are divided into four categories based on the time of day they are getting married:
• MORNING BRIDE: makeup should appear soft and pretty to match the cool, soft morning light. Mornings are perfect for the natural girl, because it’s the time of day when a bride should wear the least amount of makeup.
• MIDDAY BRIDE: midday sun can cast shadows on your face which can make a difference if your taking outdoor photos. Makeup should be well defined, matte and lashes are a plus.
• LATE AFTERNOON BRIDE: The golden light of the late afternoon is the most beautiful light you can be photographed in. The sun is starting to set in the sky, creating a beautiful warm glow. Since the light is so beautiful and forgiving you can add more drama to your makeup look. Makeup should be richer, shimmery and of course lashes are a must have.
• EVENING BRIDE: If you love to glam it up, an evening wedding allows you to go for a more dramatic look. This is the time of day for the bride who wants to be Ultra-Glam. Remember that every photograph will be taken with a flash, which definitely makes a difference in your choices. The smoky eye is a perfect look.
