Help me become a bit more 'radiant' for my wedding!

I've got a while: 13 months to be exact. Obviously make up is going to help me a lot on the actual day, but there are a few things I'd like to try and improve long term.

Firstly, teeth. Definitely need them to be whiter. I'm going to cut out red wine and substitute for double measures of white but don't know whether I can kick the tea habit. Is it worth getting them properly whitened at the dentist's or are there any at home solutions that won't damage my teeth?

Next: dark circles and under eye wrinkles. All I see in photos are my hideous eyes. I know I can't prevent or cure wrinkles as such, but is there anything that will help? I'm going to try to drink loads of water which may help with the dark circles, although a night nanny would prob help more.

Eyelashes: thicker and longer please (would also like thicker eyebrows but been attempting to grow them back for months without success).

Finally, just would like to look a bit brighter and shinier in general. Not aski g for much am I?! Any advice for skin care regimes etc you used in the run up to your wedding much appreciated.

specialsubject it's not a big secret, there's plenty of lash and brow treatments out there that will make your lashes grow longer and thicker and sparse eyebrows fill in. I used to use one years ago and my lashes without mascara would almost touch my upper eye area (they're quite curly)

One was a glaucoma treatment I forget the name that had a side effect of thicker and longer eyelashes when applied as drops to the eye

Someone on here linked to an eyebrow tattooist, which I am thinking about. She is in the Isle of Man.

no - that was another one

This is brilliant and a little goes a long way. I have had many 'you look well' comments after using it.
I've never had good skin but I can see the difference when I've used it.

Agree regular exfoliating good. I do it on Wednesdays.
