Often, when it comes to a big event like a wedding, last minute planning can end in some rash decisions. And to be honest, this is where I have usually fallen short. So, take heed ladies, here are some bridal beauty blunders to avoid.<\/p>\n<h2>Tanning Too Close To The Day<\/h2>\n<p>It all began when I was invited to a debs. I was 16 at the time and fairly chuffed to be asked really. But being as white as the Macbook I am currently typing into, I had received some advice to fake it tan wise. Although skeptical about the decision, I decided to give it a go (I wanted to look cool after all). It was the day before the Debs and I had asked for the lightest colour they offered. Which was fine, except what I didn\u2019t know was that it would look it\u2019s darkest on the first day. The tan of course looked just fine 2-3days later, but by then I had already sworn myself off the stuff forever. I\u2019ve slowly warmed myself back to the idea (for the sake of a good photo of course) but it has taken a few years! Similarly, there was a girl there who had been invited to two separate events and tried to make the stuff last a whole week. So maybe don\u2019t plan that far ahead!<\/p>\n<h2>Letting Someone You Don\u2019t Know Do Your Brows<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019re eyebrows are very much a distinguishing part of your face. A friend (who will remain nameless) once told me about an emergency brow job she needed. She rang up to book the next available time with a woman she\u2019d never met. She was so busy that day she managed not to meet her reflection until the end of the night\u2026 Let\u2019s just say she\u2019s never missed a date with her regular since! In general, getting a wax, facial, or anything done to your hair less than a week before a big event is probably not a great idea.<\/p>\n<h2>Remember your Bridal Emergency Kit<\/h2>\n<p>Trust us\u2026 This <a title=\"bridal emergency kit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingdates.ie\/blog\/we-love-this-on-pinterest-emergency-bridal-kits\/\">bridal emergency kit<\/a> will be a lifesaver! Safety pins, double sided tape, a mini sewing kit, a bleach pen, blotting papers, gum, deodorant, a personal tissue pack, make-up wipes could all come in handy. It may seem high-maintenance but it is always better to be safe than sorry. Carry a mini touch up bag and re-apply just after the meal. Sweating and 12+ of hair and make-up will eventually wear though your look. If your MUA is using products you don\u2019t already own, find out where you can purchase some of them.<\/p>\n<p>Image via Etsy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So, officially, I\u2019ve never been a bride, but I have been unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of some terrible beauty blunders.
