• Bad eye makeup can sour your mood all day.bride image by Mat Hayward from Fotolia.com
  
  All brides want to look charming on their wedding day. It is not only because of the people who will focus their attention on the bride but also because wedding photos are what many people go back to time and again. Eyes are an important aspect of a bride's makeup. Eye makeup needs to be flawless and should stay on all day.
  
  

Consult a Makeup Artist

• If possible, invite a makeup artist to do your makeup. If you cannot have a professional artist, choose a friend who is particularly good at this. Even if you typically do your own eye makeup well, if you are nervous, you may overlook some important details, resulting in a botched eye makeup.
  
  

Groom the Eyebrows

• Groom your eyebrows about four days prior to the wedding. During this time, the eyebrows will not grow back, and the redness and irritation around your brows will be gone.
  
  

Colors

• Pick colors that work best with your skin tone, hair color and eye color. Essentially, use either warm (dark brown and medium brown) or cool (blue, green and hazel) colors. You can choose a celebrity that looks like you, and borrow some makeup ideas from her. A makeup artist or person who works at a makeup counter will be able to point you in the right direction.
  
  

Eyeliner

• Applying eyeliner to the contour of your eyes makes them look bigger. Use the eyeliner before you apply mascara and eyeshadow. To apply the eyeliner, start from the inside of the lashes and make one long sweep across the entire eyelid. When applying the eyeliner, make sure both of your eyes look the same.
  
  

Use Waterproof Mascara

• Waterproof mascara is a must for your wedding day. Wedding days can be sentimental, and an occasional teardrop can ruin your eye makeup.
  
  

Eyeshadow

• To make the eyeshadow adhere better to your eyelid, use an eyeshadow primer or face powder. Apply it before you put on the eyeshadow. However, do not use a concealer for this purpose because it will make your eyeshadow susceptible to creasing and smearing. When applying the eyeshadow, first put on the lightest color (the base) by sweeping the shadow brush across the eyelids. Use a medium shadow to cover the lower lids. Then use the darkest shadow to highlight the crease of the eyelids.
