war paint makeup for the bridal march

I want to keep my face, from shining too much, after the make up artist has left, my day will be long and I want to look my best for all of the pictures. What’s a bride to do???
Signed: A hopefully, not too shiney bride.

Dear Hopefully:
For starters I trust that your make up artist has properly set your foundation with a large powder puff, slowly pressing your translucent powder into the foundation. Once this has been done (here’s the good news), you will only need minor touch ups through out the day. You can use Blotting papers, I like Bobbi Brown’s. They will absorb any excess shine, or you can touch up with a pressed powder and a little puff here and there. A nice tip is to have your maid of honor watch your glow, if shes sees you getting a little shiney, she can pull you aside for a little girl time. Hit and run beauty, no muss no fuss.
Peace, Tim
