My wedding day is quickly approaching which means last month’s beauty treatment with Amanda was a much needed break from all of the last minute planning and responding to wedding related emails. Plus, I think the added stress of my busy schedule is causing some very unwanted breakouts around my chin (again). I am so in awe of Amanda and how well she tailors each treatment to my specific needs (and manages to help me relax and take a much needed break from the chaos).

As my wedding quickly day approaches, I am amazed at how well all of the little details are coming together. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had our fair share of surprises, but overall I am so grateful for all of the wonderful people helping us make our day so special. On that list is glo’s National Makeup Artist, Janeena Billera, who is doing my wedding day makeup as well as makeup on SIX of my bridesmaids!

With a little less than two months to go before my wedding, I’m definitely stepping up my beauty game. Thankfully, glo’s National Educator, Amanda has helped me with every step along the way. Our regularly scheduled facials mixed with professional peels has done wonders for my skin already. Today we’re sharing with you our most recent treatment that targeted a few problems on my chin.

Let’s be honest, no one likes to talk about 'bacne', but today I’m bravely addressing this pesky skin issue that many brides struggle with. Often times, due to an increase in trips to the gym, warmer wedding season weather and the added stress of planning a wedding, blemishes can start to appear on your back and chest- not ideal for brides wearing a strapless dress! I know it’s something that I worry about so I created a plan with glo’s National Educator, Amanda, to tackle the issue before the big day.

First, let me just say that while fun, exciting and fulfilling, planning a wedding is hard work! I’d heard it a thousand times from brides and they were right! I am so thankful for my monthly skin care appointments with Amanda, glo’s National Educator, where I get to take time to relax, feel pampered and do something good for my skin.

Last week we talked about how to find the best makeup artist for your big day. Now let’s chat about engagement photos! Ryan and I chose to do our engagement photos outside around the beautiful city of Denver. Not only was it a great way for us to get some practice in front of the camera before the big day, it was also a great test run for makeup. I really wanted my makeup for the photos to be timeless and natural. Because I was changing into three outfits, it was also important that my makeup lasted all day and worked with each outfit. We decided to keep the look very classic and only switch up the lip color with each look. Janeena, glo’s National Makeup Artist, did a great job playing up my favorite features and we decided to document the engagement photo trial to give everyone an inside look at what she did the day of the photoshoot.

As my wedding day quickly approaches, I am definitely in full on wedding planning mode! It seems like everyday there is a new deadline that needs to be met or decision that needs to be made. For many, an important thing to cross off the to-do list is finding the right makeup artist to will help you feel like a million bucks on your big day. I am so lucky that Janeena, Glo Skin Beauty's Sr. Global Makeup Artist and Educator, a dear friend, is available to do my wedding and engagement photo makeup! Even though I didn’t have to go through the process of finding the right artist for me, Janeena was kind enough to share a list of things all brides should consider before picking their makeup artist. And having worked on over 100 brides in her career she definitely knows what she is talking about!

Last week I received my first professional treatment on my path towards glo-ing bridal skin! I must say, taking an hour out of my busy schedule for a treatment was just what I needed to feel refreshed! Not only did my skin feel fantastic but it was a great way to take some personal time for myself in the middle of balancing a busy schedule.

With a little under seven months to go, my wedding to-do list seems to be getting longer instead of shorter. Between flowers and save-the-dates, it’s easy to get caught up in all of the small details! One thing that I am excited about crossing off the list is meeting with glo’s National Educator, Amanda, to talk about my skincare strategy.

Last year we launched our first ever Bridal Kit which was created to give the bride and her bridesmaids everything they needed to stay camera ready all day. The kit was such a big hit that we decided to give it a glamorous makeover! The revamped kit now comes in a beautiful new makeup bag that will easily become a new favorite.

Hello Everyone! My name is Amy and I am glo’s Content and Communication Specialist.

I figured I wasn’t the only bride-to-be asking these questions, so with the help of glo’s talented education team I am going to walk you through my seven month bridal beauty diary!
