Follow these simple tips for looking instantly better in your pre-wedding photos. <\/i><\/p><p><b class=\"special\">Y<\/b>our pre-wedding photos are the most important ones that you\u2019ll take, outside those at your wedding itself. It\u2019s a big day, and you want to make sure that you look your absolute best. But maybe the stress of wedding planning\u2014or of this photo shoot\u2014has been weighing on you, and you\u2019re feeling nervous, or looking a bit tired. If so, follow these 10 simple tips for looking instantly better in your pre-wedding photos. <\/p><div class=\"banner\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">OA_show(5);<\/script><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Prewedding-photography-in-Morocco-by-AndroidsinBoots-49.jpg\" alt=\"Prewedding photography in Morocco by AndroidsinBoots 49\" \/><i class=\"special\"><a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/2016\/03\/pre-wedding-photoshoot-in-morrocco\/\" target=\"_blank\">Darren and Sophia&#8217;s Breathtaking Pre-Wedding Photoshoot in Morrocco<\/a> by AndroidsinBoots<\/i><p><b><b>1. Abstain from alcohol and caffeine <\/b><\/b><\/p><p>As relaxing as that post-work glass of wine might be, it\u2019s taking a huge toll on your skin. Both alcohol and caffeine dehydrate your entire body, and make your skin more susceptible to free radical damage. So while it\u2019s no fun, abstaining from alcohol and caffeine a week or two before your pre-wedding shoot is one of the best ways to make you look better in photos.<\/p><p>Replace your morning coffee with a warm cup of lemon water, which will help to flush out toxins before you start your day. In the evening, melt away the stress of the day by curling up with a mug of decaffeinated tea or a turmeric latte. Turmeric is a known anti-inflammatory that will keep both your skin and your stomach happy.<\/p><p><b><b>2. Drink water <\/b><\/b><\/p><p>As you replace alcohol and coffee with healthier beverages, don\u2019t forget to drink plenty of water, too. Nothing will make your skin look plumper, younger, and more energised than regularly drinking water throughout the day. Keep a water bottle with you at all times as a reminder to stay hydrated.  <\/p><p><b><b>3. Groom your eyebrows<\/b><\/b><\/p><p>One of the simplest ways to give your face a natural lift is to groom your eyebrows. Two to three days before your shoot, get your eyebrows professionally shaped. You\u2019ll be amazed at how this seemingly small change enhances your entire face. <\/p><p>If your skin is extra sensitive, you might want to allow for an extra day or two to reduce inflammation. Applying a cold compress and some aloe vera post-wax will also help to soothe your skin.   <\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Sherlyn-Chan-Bali-Pre-Wedding-with-Z-Wedding-Dsign-65.jpg\" alt=\"Sherlyn Chan Bali Pre-Wedding with Z Wedding D&#039;sign 65\" \/><i class=\"special\"><a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/2015\/12\/sherlyn-and-deyao-bali-pre-wedding-shoot-with-z-wedding-dsign\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sherlyn and Deyao&#8217;s Bali Pre-Wedding Shoot with Z Wedding D&#8217;sign<\/a> by Chris Ling International Photography<\/i><p><b><b>4. Give your skin new life<\/b><\/b><\/p><p>The morning of your pre-wedding photo shoot, apply an oxygen face mask. No, not the kind from hospital\u2014rather, a beauty mask that will infuse new life into your skin. It\u2019s great if you can use this regularly in the weeks leading up to your shoot, but even one application the day of will get your skin glowing.<\/p> <p>These masks energise your skin by promoting cell regeneration and better absorption of your other skin products\u2014so that that expensive anti-ageing serum that you\u2019ve been using religiously is even more effective.<\/p><p><b><b>5. Reduce eye fatigue <\/b><\/b><\/p><p>Have you noticed your eyes looking tired in the wake of wedding planning? Look bright and refreshed in your pre-wedding photos with this age-old trick: steep two tea bags in hot water for 5 minutes, squeeze out the excess water, then refrigerate for about 20 minutes. Once the bags are chilled through, lie down and place them over your eyes for 15 minutes. <\/p><p>The tannins and caffeine in the tea help to reduce inflammation and will leave you looking more awake.<\/p><p><b><b>6. Break a sweat <\/b><\/b><\/p><p>Give your cheeks a natural flush by doing a quick exercise routine before your shoot (and your shower!). Avoid anything too strenuous\u2014you don\u2019t want to be exhausted later in the day\u2014but a light yoga routine or short run on the treadmill will give you a boost of energy and get your skin glowing. You\u2019ll look and feel much better! <\/p><p><b><b>7. Slim down <\/b><\/b><\/p><p>Slimming down for the camera doesn\u2019t have to mean going on a crazy diet or losing weight. For a quick fix, focus on your pose. Standing up straight is a great first step, as well as angling your body toward the camera. Avoid letting your arms lay flush against your body, which can make them appear larger in photos.<\/p><p>Slay any worries about a double chin by sticking your head up and out slightly. It may feel funny, but it will make your neck appear longer and your chin slimmer.<\/p><p><b><b>8. Get a leg up <\/b><\/b><\/p><p>Sure, you\u2019ve picked out the perfect outfits for your shoot, but what about footwear? Now is the time to slip into your highest heels\u2014even if you\u2019re not usually a fan. A tall, thin stiletto will give you an extra three or four inches of height, elongate your legs, and make you appear slimmer. They might kill your feet, but you\u2019ll only have to wear them for a few hours and you won\u2019t be walking around too much, anyway. <\/p><p>And while heels are a great addition to any photo shoot, wedges and espadrilles should be avoided. They\u2019ll add weight to your bottom half, making your feet and ankles look heavier.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/MAAD-About-You-8.jpg\" alt=\"The Peeping Thom; engagement shoot; animal masks; rustic pre-wedding; Singapore; MAAD\" \/><i class=\"special\"><a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/2016\/03\/maad-about-you\/\" target=\"_blank\">MAAD About You<\/a> by The Peeping Thom Photography<\/i><p><b><b>9. Use props <\/b><\/b><\/p><p>If you feel a little awkward taking photos, you\u2019re not alone. Many people are uncomfortable being the centre of attention, and taking pre-wedding photos is no exception.<\/p><p>If your photo shoot has a theme, try incorporating props into your session. If you\u2019re holding something, it might help you feel a little less stiff. And if all else fails? Grab your sweetie\u2019s hand!<\/p><p><b><b>10. Act natural <\/b><\/b><\/p><p>Yes, these photos are going to last a lifetime and you want to look your best. But one of the best ways to take a great photo is to simply act natural! If you\u2019re forcing a fake smile, it\u2019s going to show. Instead, think of a silly moment you\u2019ve shared with your fianc\u00e9. Your lips will part naturally and your beautiful smile will shine through. <\/p><p>These tips will help you to look your best in your pre-wedding photo shoot, but nothing helps more than having a confident attitude. If you act the part, you\u2019ll look the part\u2014and it will come through in your photos!<\/p><hr \/><p><i>Credits: Feature image of <a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/2016\/05\/joy-bens-steampunk-wedding-nikoi-island\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joy and Ben&#8217;s Steampunk Wedding on Nikoi Island<\/a> by Daniel Beh Photography.<\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve hired the photographer, chosen your outfits, and decided how you want your make-up done\u2014what else is left to do?
