Actress Drew Barrymore says the biggest mistake people make on their wedding day is that they overdo make-up and advises brides to go for the natural look.
"That day is so surreal and important and long-lasting for people, I think the biggest mistake you can make is to overdo it. Brides should look naturally beautiful on their wedding day," people.com quoted her as saying.
"Look like yourself on your wedding day - don't go with crazy spiral curls and some heavy foundation and look back at that picture and be like, 'Whoa, that doesn't look like me'. It should be you but the most enhanced, beautiful natural version of yourself," she added.
She also feels that wedding days and 'cuckoo factor' are not a good combination.
"If you are thinking of doing something bold like a nail, pick a shade that has powders and greys and neutrals in it so it tones down the 'cuckoo factor'. I think wedding days and 'cuckoo factor' are not a good combination," she said.
"I tried to do a dark lip on my own wedding day, and I just wasn't feeling it. I went very natural. It took me 10 minutes to do my hair and I wore very little make-up, and I'm glad I did. I'm all for bold, but I just find that's not the day for it," she added.
