Colors:
Do go in for a prior consultation with your beautician at least a week before the wedding. Take along your wedding outfit and samples of the jewelry you would be wearing.
Another good idea is to take along reference of looks from magazines and ads of the kind you like, so that the beautician is not working blind towards creating your look.
The basic point to remember is to coordinate colors. If your outfit is a blazing pink, you cannot dare to wear red lipstick and nail polish. Do get a beautician and hairstylist on whom you have confidence. No point in settling for a budget beautician when the look of an entire lifetime is at stake.
Lips:
Your lips are an important part of the look, as important as the eyes. Line your lips with a lip-liner – a shade darker than the lipstick you've chosen and then fill in the lipstick with a brush. Blot it gently with a tissue and powder with pressed powder and repeat the liner and lipstick routine. This will help your lipsticks last longer.

It's amazing what a transformation a good dental job can achieve for your face. It would be wise to get an appointment with your dentist a few months before the wedding. Don't wait for the last minute. You don't want to appear for your wedding with a swollen face and cotton between your pearly whites, do you ?
These, as they say are the pennies. Take care, and the pounds – creating the right impressions that is – will take care of themselves.
