Skin Tip 2: Avoid Surprises
Now is not the time to try something new. Whether it's a blemish cream or a new foundation, you could have an unexpected reaction. So even if you're the impulsive Vegas-wedding type, try to pick up your products at least a week before the day. And don't just leave them in their pretty packages -- patch test them to check for allergic reactions.

Skin Tip 3: Start Fresh
After you've cleansed your face, apply a primer. (Skip moisturizer unless your skin is extremely dry.) Don't be alarmed -- the newest primers are light, not spacklelike, and they contain soothing ingredients such as aloe. Primer will create a base that allows foundation to go on smoothly and to last, avoiding rough, dry patches.

Skin Tip 4: Watch out
Be sure to be gentle around the eyes. Start with a light layer of moisturizing eye cream to smooth the way for cover-up. And skip any eye creams with depuffing or anti-aging ingredients. Just remember: You merely want to moisturize to allow concealer and foundation to go on smoothly and stay out of those fine lines.
