Luckily, we have you covered for the five major beauty blunders of brides and grooms. Unwanted Baggage: With  exciting wedding jitters at their highest peak, the chances of a  sleepless night before the big day are high. To prevent eye baggage,  soothe the night before with an eye lotion (we recommend Liz Earle\u2019s  Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion, $18.50, also great for your morning ritual). For morning-of puffiness, steep  two green tea bags and put them in the freezer to chill. Once frosted,  apply to your peepers for 10 minutes and let the caffeine and coolness  constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling.Manicure Mayhem: Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to drying nail polish,  but it\u2019s difficult to have on a day as hectic as your wedding. For  ripples in the color, rub remover over the polish in a circular motion  to even it out, followed by a topcoat. For chips, fill in the spot with a  drop of matching-hued polish and let dry, followed by the above  process. Nicked a nail? Smooth with a fine grit file. For major mends,  apply a tiny drop of nail glue under the broken nail and press, then  buff and topcoat to smooth the polish.Zit Fix: With  all of the stress surrounding your big day, day-of zits are incredibly  common, even with weeks of pre-wedding beauty preparation. Take an  ibuprofen to reduce swelling and then apply a product to dry it out,  such as Sonya Dakar Drying Potion ($25), which uses zinc oxide to combat the bacteria. If available, use  an eco-friendly concealer, as the lack of artificial ingredients will  keep the pimple from getting worse throughout the day. We love RMS\u2019s \u201cUn\u201d Cover-Up ($36), which is formulated to actually heal the skin and is light  enough for even masculine-minded brides and grooms to comfortably wear.Messy Makeup: Even the most melt-proof makeup is bound to get messy when temperatures and emotions rise. Prep your  skin with a lightweight moisturizer and primer before applying makeup to  prevent. For throughout-the-day fixes, dip a Q-Tip in your go-to makeup  remover and let dry the morning of. When needed, wet with water and  fix.Rid Razor Bumps and Burns: Excitement  (and time) may have you rushing through your morning shave routine, but  the outcome may be a less-than-ideal result. To prevent razor burn,  shave with a sharp, new razor (or clean blades if you have an electric  shaver) after a hot shower (the steam helps to open the pores). Apply a  shave gel and shave with the grain of the hair. Splash with cool water  to close the pores and pat dry. If you\u2019re prone to falling victim to  bumps and burns, rub a soothing aftershave stocked with vitamins, such  as Organic Male\u2019s Soothing Herbal Shaving Emulsion.\u00a0Photo: Real Wedding Amy and Jeri, photography by Michele M.
