Your East Midlands Wedding - December 2022/January 2023 (Issue 53)

Q&A Beauty Look your big-day best with top expert advice THE DREAM TEAM When should I start thinking about booking my make-up artist, and do you have any tips for finding the right supplier? There’s no set rule on when to book your make-up artist, but I think one year in advance is enough. But like all wedding suppliers, book them as soon as possible if you find a company you adore – don’t let them be the one that got away. To ensure you’re both on the same page when creating your desired look, arrange an informal meeting in person or virtually to get to know the supplier and discuss the finer details. Ask questions about the artist’s ethos behind their brand and how they’d describe their style to get a sense of who they are and their values. It’s not just bronzer and highlighter you need to create that lit-fromwithin glow. A make-up artist can give you peace of mind and has a calming presence that’s invaluable on the day!

Make-up should complement and highlight areas you love about your face to strengthen your confidence, which is important as you’ll want to feel and look your big-day best! My advice for an informal boho-styled look would be to keep the skin fresh and natural. Your make-up artist can then add some colour to create what will always be a timeless and flawless base. Focus on the eyes or lips; pick just one feature to stop the make-up from looking too heavy – think a soft smokey eye or a cherry-stained lip. Keep in mind the tones in your colour palette and perhaps incorporate this into your look to tie everything together. Whatever look you pick, make sure you look and feel like you!
