So what tips does the fabulous Kimara have for brides in order to have the perfect wedding day face?

1. Foundation to even out the skin tone and texture


2. Blush to bring color and a natural flush to the face


3. Mascara to open up the eye and waterproof so you won’t have any mascara stained tears


4. Lipstick to bring color and more staying power to the lips. Lipstick is also slightly more sophisticated than just a lipgloss


5. Concealer to disguise and blemishes or undereye dark circles.
