Will the make-up last all day?
by Christine C. Conte

The answer varies - If the bride wants a softer look she may pale quicker than someone with a heavier application. In that case she may want to carry a basic make-up kit for touch ups throughout the day.

If the bride wants a more dramatic look the make-up may have more staying power, but you will still need to at least powder your face or use oil blotting papers to absorb excess oil that is unavoidable in hot weather. Lipstick touchups are also unavoidable, however you can take precautions to help make reapplication easier. First, have your lip pencil sharpened. Second, use a lip brush and take care when you drink by using a straw. Third, pat your lips with a napkin instead of wiping so you can follow the original lipliner line throughout the evening.
