Foundation
When choosing your Foundation for your Perfect Day there are a few
things you need to consider, it needs to be natural looking, have good
Longevity, be a perfect match to your body.... Don't be shy go to a few
department stores & ask for some samples (That's why they have them)
and test them out over a day or two, take photos of yourself outside in
natural light to make sure you don't get flash back from the SPF or
that it doesn't oxidise throughout the day... as I'm sure no one wants
to look like a Casper the Ghost or an Oompa Lumpa in their Wedding
