Wedding Makeup?

I'm going to a wedding Saturday for my fiancee's brother. I'm not in the bridal party, but my fiancee is the best man. I know I'm going to be in a lot of pictures with him, especially since we're the next to get married. The wedding is going to be in Florida at sunset with a high of 85! My question is this: What should I do for my hair and makeup? I'll post a link to the dress I'll be wearing. I usually go for a very natural look! I'll post a link to a picture of me, too (so you don't have to go look at my page) so you can kind of judge what you think will look best? I appreciate it so much!!

I'll second the updo - don't want your hair getting all clingy and wilted, right? With the heat and humidity you'll want a mineral foundation so it all stays put. Make sure you prime under everything. For photos you will want more makeup than you normally wear, especially since this is an evening event and the flash can have a tendency to wash you out a bit. Make sure to contour (so you don't look flat) and go bold with the eyes so they pop. You can still do your usual neutral shades, just amp everything up a bit (consider false lashes, which photograph beautifully and won't run down your face like mascara can). Everything waterproof, long-wear, and set with a translucent powder. A flush of color on your lips and a bit of gloss is all you'll need there. Have fun and congrats on your upcoming wedding!
