BEAUTY QUEEN Q – How can I look after my hair and skin in the run-up to my wedding? Around six months before the wedding, begin cleansing your skin every morning and night. Fortnightly face masks are also a good way to deeply cleanse your skin. Get your hair trimmed ready for the big day, but be cautious with highlights and colouring and don’t do anything drastic until you talk to your stylist. If you’re doing your own hair and make-up, make sure your hair colour is exactly right a week before the wedding.

Can I still get this look? It really depends on the length of your hair, if it’s longer than your shoulder, then any textured up do can be achieved. Add a clip-in extension to add volume if needed. Most hairdressers will use this and even be able to offer this for your trial, so you can see and feel the end result. Your stylist will also curl or set your hair to give it a voluminous illusion.

Autumn has some beautiful, vibrant colour palettes. Look for warm, bronzed contours, deep red lips complete with a dewy base. As a bridal hair and make-up artist, it’s part of my job to stay on top of all the trends. Sultry, dark make-up is popular and it’s perfect for a Halloween-themed wedding. Delicate brides should go for a classy look with soft pastels and gold hues. Charlotte Tilbury, with her iconic gold packaging, is perfect for this time of year and her Easy Eye Palette contains six rich shades including bronze, pinks and terracotta which is sure to suit all of your bridal party.
