7 DIY Wedding Makeup Hacks to Ensure You Look Flawless on Your Big Day

Don't underestimate the power of highlighter! While you might not want to go for a full strobe on your big day (avoiding trends will result in timeless wedding photos), you should definitely incorporate some subtle illuminator into your bridal beauty routine. LaMar used MAC Cosmetics Strobe Cream in Pinklite ($33) on not only the model's complexion, but also on her lips.
Here's why: MAC's formula has a blue-pink sheen. It makes skin look more radiant, but that same glow also creates a whitening effect on teeth. It's basic color theory; blue and yellow are opposites on the color wheel, and cancel each other out. Just like green color corrector negates red blemish, pout colors with blue undertones will transform a dingy grin into the white smile of a celebrity.
Don't just go applying highlighter directly to your lips, though. Here, the Strobe Cream was mixed in equal part with Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Ex-Girlfriend ($17).
