Makeup on the big day is a given. And I’ve taken y’all’s concerns into mind and visited the MAC counter for a nice little consultation. But honestly, my real beauty concerns can’t be fixed with makeup.

First of all, I have constant bloodshot eyes. I won’t gross you out with pictures of my eyes, but I’m consistently asked if I’m getting enough sleep. After a visit to the eye doctor, I was given a prescription for an incredibly expensive eye drop. While I can’t afford the prescription right now, my remedy for the time being will be lots of glasses wearing, lots of sleep, and a supply of Visine for Contacts on the big day.

My next concern is my lips. I have a really bad habit of biting my lips. And I most certainly don’t drink enough water, so my lips are almost always chapped. Need proof?

In addition to making sure that I drink as much water as possible, I’m trying to make a habit of keeping this Joshua Tree balm in my pocket. (And hopefully out of the washer/dryer…admit it, how many tubes have you destroyed thanks to the dryer monster?)

And finally, my hands. As a climber, my hands are constantly peeling and covered in chalk. Lotion is a huge no-no. I don’t want soft hands. Really I just want a nice facade.

So my hand remedy? I think I’ll just make sure to wash my hands. And on the night before the wedding, we girls are having a slumber party complete with a nail-paintin’ sesh.

So, my concerns aren’t huge, but I want to be as Sunday-go-to-meetin’ ready as possible. What’re you doing to put the finishing touches on your look?
