As a bride it’s your prerogative to look however you wish. You don’t have to conform to what other people think you should look like. If you want a sunkissed glow then why not consider a spray tan? We’d recommend having a trial run before the big day though to make sure you’re happy with the results. Alternatively, a gradual tanning lotion gives a subtler look. Your make-up artist will be able to add warmth to your face with bronzer, blusher and highlighter. Warm tones on your lips and eyes will make a huge difference in enhancing your natural features and you’ll be amazed at what can be achieved even with pale skin. We always offer a make-up trial so you can make sure any queries are tried, tested and resolved in plenty of time. Jenna & Rebekah Make-up artists CHIC AND SLEEK We’re having a black-tie theme for our winter nuptials. I don’t know what hair and make-up look to go for with my strapless gown. What do you suggest? We’d always lean towards a hair up look and move away from the loose informal styles that you often see at summer weddings. A chic bun would be perfect for this; elegant and sleek, it’d complement your style perfectly and we’d determine the size of the bun based on your dress. To finish off we could drape some jewelled accessories or winter florals over your hair. For your make-up look, think soft gold shimmery eyelids with a subtle smoky effect and eyeliner to give definition. Berry and red hues are perfect for the season so a dash of this on the lips would be beautiful. We’d finish it all off with a dab of highlighter on the cheekbones to catch the light without looking too dramatic. Carley & Jordanna Hair and make-up artists lucyhannahphotography.co.uk matthewrycraft.co.uk Boho-chic I’m having a relaxed, bohemian-style wedding but don’t know what make-up would suit this? Please help! Laid-back, boho celebrations are really trending with lots of my couples. I love the chilled-out feel that lends itself to a fresh, radiant and effortless look, ‘less is more’ is definitely the vibe here. Cover any imperfections with concealer followed by a sheer, luminous foundation for a flawless finish. Apply cream blusher to the apples of your cheeks with your finger tips to give a glowing-from-within look; NARS Multiple cream blusher stick in Orgasm is perfect for this and suits most skin tones. Avoid heavy contouring, as this can appear too fussy; a light sweep of bronzer under the cheekbones and highlighter on the brow bones is just enough. Subtle metallic eyeshadow will make your eyes pop and you can even add a touch of glitter for a real festival feel. I love Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in Space Cowboy for a light shimmer. Finish by lining your lips with a pencil one shade deeper than your natural colour and add a matching gloss or balm. Vicky King Make-up artist 76
