On your big day, you want your wedding makeup to last. Not only that, but you want to look stunning in your photographs. In order to insure that your makeup will last as long as possible, it may be best to hire a professional to take care of it. However, here is some advice to keep in mind even if you do hire a makeup artist.

Use a makeup base. Several cosmetic companies offer products that go on under your eye makeup or lipstick that help your makeup last . Eye makeup base provides a layer that your eyeshadow and eyeliner can adhere to. This prevents creasing and helps the colour stay on longer. They offer similar products for lipstick. However, try to find a lipstick base that is also moisturizing. Some products contain ingredients that dry the lips out. You’ll need your lips to stay nice and moist so you can smile all day.

Get rid of extra shine. A shiny face looks even worse in photographs, especially if the photographer uses a flash. After washing your face, apply an oil controlling product. After that absorbs, apply a thin layer of loose powder. Apply foundation and the rest of your makeup as usual. Follow up with another thin layer of loose powder. Carry some pressed powder with you so you can control any shine as the day progresses.

One of the first things to fade is your lipstick. Follow these tips that will help your lipstick last. First, apply a moisturizing lip base. Then, apply lip liner in a shade that is a little darker than your lipstick. Use a soft pencil. Fill the lips in with the pencil. Apply one coat of lipstick and blot gently. Apply another coat of lipstick but this time do not blot. Press a thin layer of facial tissue gently to your lips. Using a large brush, apply a thin layer of pressed powder to the tissue. The tissue acts as a screen, letting in only a small amount of powder. The powder helps the lipstick set and keeps it on longer.

Pack a makeup bag. No matter how hard you try to create a lasting look, you still may need to do some minor touch ups throughout the day. Pack pressed powder, lipstick, mascara, and eyeshadow just in case your colour needs a boost.

Beiersdorf AG has posted record provisional results for 2008 despite the economic downturn with skin and beauty care products singled out by the company as the “exclusive” basis for its positive performance.

Thomas Quaas, company chairman, said the three major brands – Nivea, Eucerin and La Prairie – had achieved double-digit growth on a worldwide basis, outpacing market averages. Group sales last year rose 8.4% to €5.9bn with care products accounting for €5.1bn of the group total. Profits went up from €442m to €443m, helped by some sell-offs of parts of the business. Pre-tax (Ebit) earnings rose slightly from €684m to €695m and profit margin improved from 12.4% to 12.5%.

Earlier, Beiersdorf commented that the relative narrowness of its portfolio of ten leading products had actually been an advantage because these were “easier to sustain than say 100 as is the case with some of our competitors”. Beiersdorf has confirmed its medium-term forecast with an operating margin rising to 15% and world market share of about 5.5%. Final figures from the company will be published in March.

A new gift set from Thierry Mugler recently caught my eye.

The “Kiss of an Angel” Duo features a refillable bottle of Angel eau de parfum spray. In addition to its dramatic faceted glass and silver lacquer styling, the star-shaped bottle also has a curious twist to its design: On the back is a lip print left by an “Angel’s kiss.”

Even more interesting, the duo also comes with a limited edition “Kiss of an Angel” Sensorial Lipstick. Though it appears blue in the tube, this lipstick is supposed to morph into a wearable pink when you apply it to your lips.

I guess it’s supposed to be the shi shi poo poo version of those green, color-changing “mood” lipsticks that I begged my mom for when I was a young moxiette.

Definitely a new object of my desire, the Thierry Mugler Kiss of an Angel Duo is available for $112 from Nordstrom.
