When choosing a foundation, choose one that will give you medium coverage, but use your cover-up to do most of the covering up of any flaws or imperfections you would like to hide.
Make Sure Your Skin is Flawless but Fresh
Many brides make the mistake of using a thick, pancake-like foundation on their skin so that they appear "flawless" on their wedding day. The downfall to this is that it does appear chalky, fake, and often just not very pretty.When choosing a foundation, choose one that will give you medium coverage, but use your cover-up to do most of the covering up of any flaws or imperfections you would like to hide.
Be sure to choose a shade or two lighter concealers than your foundation and blend both the concealer and the foundation well with either a sponge or your index finger.
To keep your skin fresh, choose a natural-looking blush with only one shade darker than that you'd wear during the day.

This way your blush will still be visible to your guests at a distance, but it won't be overwhelming and look bad. Apply the blush with a large blush brush to your cheeks' apples and brush it out to your temples.
After blush, you may want to consider applying a bronzer over the top for a more sun-kissed look (this is incredibly wonderful if you are having a summer wedding) and/or apply body glitter to your cheeks, temples, inner eyelids and outer eyelids.
Keep your Eyes Natural yet Bold
There's a beautiful line between keeping your eyes looking natural and having them stand out and not be overwhelming.Eye make up on your wedding day should accentuate your eye shape and showcase your eyes, but in such a way that it is fresh and "pretty" rather than heavy and dramatic.
One way to do this is to start by choosing a tri-color eye shadow pallet. You want a light eye shadow, a medium shade, and a darker shade.

Begin by sweeping the light shade all over your eyelid up to your brow bone. Take the medium shade of eye shadow and apply it to just the crease of your eye.
With the darker shade of eye shadow, add it to the corner of your eye crease and brush it slightly outwards. You may also want to add some darker shadow right along the lash line.
Next, take your eyeliner and apply a thin line to both the upper and lower lashes. Curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler, and then apply 1-2 coats of long-lasting, waterproof mascara (and you will undoubtedly want to be sure that it is waterproof!).
Pinks, browns, and other natural shades are all great options. If you choose these colors in shimmery tones, you will be particularly pleased with the results!
