    girls....i have a BIG day comin up soon and would appreciate a little advice make-up wise. now i've been invited to a friend's wedding in 2 wks time, including the church service. i'm wondering how to do my makeup for that day and look good cos it'll be a long day. What colours would you advise me to use? This'll be the very first wedding i've been to "en-femme" and i want to look my best!

    Love and xxxxxx anna-marie

    Hi Anna-marie,

    How totally fun. I certainly agree with Gloria and Sarah, the only thing I might add is if I were going I would take the sort of wedding it's going to be into account when choosing colors. If it's to be formal, like in a church or chapel, then more subdued but if it's going to be somewhat more informal, perhaps out of doors or something, then maybe a little bolder but certainly not like going out to party or anything. Don't want to upstage the bride, right?<g>

    And don't forget to stand where you can catch the bouquet, a bit of elbowing and even a diving catch is permitted as long as you say excuse me and do it in a ladylike manner.<lol> Oh and be sure to toss birdseed and not rice.

    Have fun, take piccies.

    Hugs....Joni

    Oh thank heaven - learned a lot - just in case the occasion arises.
    A word of caution - don't out do the bride. The bride's and groom's mother maybe...ha ha

    Hi Anna-marie,

    And any other girls who might find this link useful. Please disregard the display of ahem nekkid bosoms, it is actually a very useful site. Ackchually if I had a pair like that I'd probably show them off, too. Tastefully, of course.
