Your wedding day isn't one you leave to chance, especially when it comes to your hair and makeup. We asked top makeup artists, hair stylists, and models how they achieve their camera-ready looks.

Glow-Getters
Body Smoother
For skin that feels sleek, Marla Malcolm Beck, owner of the Bluemercury apothecaries, uses Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish. It smoothes and moisturizes with sweet almond oil. As with any new product, be sure to test it several weeks prior to your wedding to ensure that you don't have an adverse reaction.
Fresh, $65.

Pure Radiance
The best way to make skin glow is by applying a layer of gold-flecked body lotion. Giselle, a hair colorist at New York City's Pierre Michel salon, loves Mario Badescu Summer Shine Body Lotion. Plus, it won't stain a white dress.
Mario Badescu, $10.

Eye Soother
Model Sarah Ruba deflates puffed-up eyes with Dr. Hauschka Skin Care Eye Contour Day Balm. "I pat it on my lids from the inner corner out, she says.
Dr. Hauschka, $50, beauty.com.

Face Refresher
Yulia, a model, uses Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask when she wants to take her complexion from dull to dewy. "I apply it when I'm tired," she says. "I wait five minutes as it foams up, then wash it off. It really makes my skin glow."
Bliss, $52.

Tone Equalizer
To even out your skin tone, start a regimen six months before your wedding. New York City dermatologist Jessica J. Krant, M.D., recommends Revaleskin products. The cleanser and day and night creams contain coffeeberry extract to help lighten brown spots, calm redness, and smooth out fine lines.
Revaleskin, $40 to $110; by prescription.

Hair Helper
"Every model suffers from fried, beat-up hair. It gets pulled every which way with hot irons and dryers," says model Heather Marks. "I load up on products like Crede ER Treatment. It nourishes hair with avocado oil, making it shinier and healthier.
Crede, $33, joybeauty.com.
