Select a style that will stay reasonably manageable - not one that will fall apart half way through your day. No amount of makeup will substitute for plenty of rest. Be sure to get enough rest so you won't look tired and drawn. Foundation Use a foundation or medicated make-up to cover any flaws or dark circles under your eyes if you have them. Avoid too much make-up or you will lose a natural look.
Stage make-up is used under heavy and very intense lights.
Unless you are going to have similar circumstances of actual theater or movie lights, heavy make-up is probably not for you. Make sure to blend your make-up evenly on your face and down to your neck, and onto your shoulders and chest too, if your gown features bare shoulders or d colletage. If corrective measures are necessary, they can be taken with lights or darker shades. A little rouge or blusher can add a spark of life but keep your make-up on the light side so you won't have blotches of red on your f ace and look like a clown. A soft pastel lipstick usually looks and photographs best in a white wedding gown.
