17. A Word on Bridal Make-Up: Don't.

Everyone says a bride must wear bridal make-up on her wedding day. This necessitates a special trip to the make up counter where the bride must find products which will make her appear to be many things she is not: flawless, classically beautiful, glowingly well-rested.

I went to Sephora. I expected to look like a princess, but walked out looking like a drag queen. No, I'm joking. I love Sephora, and it's not their fault. A little research online taught me that some foundations with SPF reflect white in a camera flash. This is why it is a good idea for brides with evening weddings to choose a foundation with no SPF. I returned $60 worth of make-up to Sephora and bought some Loreal True Match at Rite-Aid for 9 bucks.
