Chrissy Teigen was positively glowing the day she married her superstar boyfriend and long-time fiance, John Legend on Sept. 14. Though their wedding in Italy was equally as beautiful, we think Chrissy's radiant face was simply stunning.
Of course, Chrissy's Vera Wang gown was gorg, but the model's clean and romantic look is what caught our attention. What's her secret? Sure, love will give you a great glow, but so will an awesome skincare and makeup routine.
Hollywood Life's Dory Larrabee recently dished on just how she too, got a Chrissy-like glow in the weeks before her wedding. "Every bride should make a few trips to the spa for a facial before walking down the aisle," Larrabee said.
Many brides and celebs like Katie Holmes love the Slug Slime Facial, a treatment using slug secretions rich in antioxidants and hyaluronic acid to bust blemishes. There's also the Rice Bran and Asian Nightingale Feces Facials, with powdered bird droppings full of exfoliating properties to brighten your complexion and guanine to give a pearly luster to your skin. And the Inside Out Facial, an intense skin rejuvenating process which Scarlett Johansson loves, involves a spa specialist placing their gloved hands in your mouth to massage along your jaw line using their knuckles, resulting in firmer, more radiant-looking skin.
As far as makeup, Larrabee said your wedding day look should match your personal style. Depending on your preference, go for either a bold lip or smokey eye as a safe way to take your regular beauty routine up a notch."Your bridal makeup should enhance your features so you look like yourself - at your most, radiant and beautiful," said Bobbi Brown to Hollywood Life, adding that every bride should steer clear of following makeup trends.
After playing up one feature, keep everything else minimal. Add a subtle flush to your cheeks with the Larrabee-recommended NARS Blush in Orgasm, a peachy pink matte shade flattering on all skin tones with a hint of shimmer for just $29. To get a great smoky eye, try something like Clinique's All About Shadows Singles in shades Silver Lining, Deep Dive or Stroke of Midnight. Put powder underneath your eyes, layer different shades from the lashes' base to the crease and follow other tips HERE.
And if you go the other route for a striking pout, apply a red shade of a lipstick like Rihanna's RiRi Woo by MAC and follow our pieces of advice on the lipstick shades every woman needs HERE. But what about hair?
Well, Sacha Quarles, a go-to celeb hairstylist and creative director for SHE by SO.CAP.USA, said that achieving gorgeous volume and full body hair on your special day takes a few steps. "Prep the hair damp and blow dry it with a medium round brush," Quarles said. "Spray sections with a Redken Starch, and curl the hair (with at least an 1 1/4" iron) or set with large hot rollers to create [a] soft wave."
To complement your hair and glowing skin, every bride's best accessory is her megawatt smile. Thinking of going the professional route to achieving picture-perfect pearly whites? Kristen Bell loves the Supersmile whitening system, infused with the blend, Calprox to get rid of stains caused by tea and coffee. But if you have no time before you say 'I do," follow celebrity dentist Dr. Kevin Sands' advice for faking a white smile by applying wine-colored lipstick, bright reds, or nude lip glosses.
