NATURALLY FLAWLESS “Skin, skin, skin! The secret to a flawless look is all in the skin prep,” Emma from Beautification Station tells us. “If you’re fortunate enough to have beautiful skin you’re halfway there but if you need some help with that, then regular facials (suitable for your skin type) should start at least four to six months prior to your big day.” LAETITIA RIX FROM MAKEUP ANGEL RECOMMENDS Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Delilah Pure Light Illuminating Powder Nude Lip Wardrobe by Delilah “If your complexion is in tiptop condition use a tinted moisturiser to give a light coverage to the skin and rock the ‘no make-up’ make-up look,” Ruth Ashcroft says. “Lips should be well hydrated and if you’re using a lipstick choose one nearest to your natural lip colour. If you’re not a fan of lippy though, use a small amount of tinted balm instead, to keep lips hydrated.” www.billfarnhamphotography.com Alex’s top styling tip for achieving that flawless look is to always pay attention to the detail. Bride Claire wanted to look the very best version of herself, so he set about creating a swept-back, neat low bun with a simple hairpiece, leaving her chic dress with thigh-high split to do the talking. When it came to the make-up Alex opted for soft eyes and lips to bring the look together. https://florenceberry.com Claire from Kent Professional Makeup says, “Strip lashes are key to this look, as they’ll create a natural pop, which opens the eyes and makes them look amazing in photos. Mascara alone doesn’t have the same effect in pictures. I’m always keen to mention that this make-up, although flawless, will need to be heavier than usual to avoid a washed-out appearance against your light dress. The key is to build the layers gradually, to maintain that elegance.” Laetitica, Makeup Angel tells us, “To achieve this look, focus on the skin, and use soft, neutral eyeshadows to enhance your eye colour, along with natural lip in a pink or peach tone. A glowing skin can be achieved using a radiance primer underneath your foundation or mixed in before application. Areas of the face such as the top of the cheekbones, centre of the nose and Cupid’s bow can be highlighted too by using a liquid or powder highlighter. A combination of bronzer and blush is vital for a lovely healthy glow.” https://johnknightphotography.co.uk 82
