Drew Barrymore 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.

How to deal with common beauty problems before your wedding?

You've waited for this day and dreamt about your wedding being perfect with all eyes on you. You wouldn't want to look anything less than a dream, radiating and glowing from all the excitement, happiness and slight nervousness. So, how do you ensure you look your best on your most special day? Here are 10 beauty things that you may want to fix before your wedding.

Pimple, acne marks

Pimples can ruin your look as they cannot completely be concealed with make-up. If your skin is prone to acne, you need to get it checked by a dermatologist who can prescribe a treatment for it. You will also have to watch what you eat. Oily food, indigestion are all culprits of acne. Even dandruff can lead to acne on your face. Since it will take some time to get this problem under control, it is best to visit a skin specialist well in advance. With medications and right products, you can get rid of acne before your D-Day.

Another issue which lingers on after the acne is gone is its scars. These are either deep pits on the skin or spots which refuse to lighten. While they may be easier to cover with the help of make-up, in order to get rid of them, you can opt for treatments like microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and fractional lasers.
