Q&A Beauty Look and feel your big-day best with help from the professionals THE EYES HAVE IT! My husband-to-be has always thought my eyes are my best feature, so I really want to make them pop on our wedding day! What can you suggest? Lauren Jackson, owner of Bespoke Beauty & Makeup (https://bespokebeautyandmakeup.co.uk) says: Great question, but as always, it’s down to personal style and preference. If your husband to be loves your eyes, I would still want to keep them naturally beautiful and authentically yours. If you went for a heavy eye look, for example a winged liner or smoky eye, then you’re quite dramatically changing the appearance of what he loves. However, enhancing your natural beauty is exactly what Bespoke Beauty and Makeup is all about. So, for me, it would be to highlight the inner corners with a wonderful champagne shade, contouring the inner lid crease to create depth while keeping your eyes light and sparkling. An amazing mascara such as Hourglass Unlocked to coat the lashes and give a wonderful curl to uplift and open the eye can be a huge change for some people who don’t wear make-up. So, also consider a lash lift before your wedding day to create a beautiful curl and lift of the lash without having to wear make-up. What’s more, brightening the water line instead or darkening it with eyeliner can create a bright and fresh eye look alongside your upper lid style. My final tip in general would be to keep your make-up as much like yourself as possible. Remembering that you should be you but on your best day. Phakphoom Srinorajan on Unsplash HIGH-BROW TECHNIQUE How can I achieve a lifted, youthful brow without resorting to injectables or other invasive treatments? Brow expert and owner of Rubis Tweezers, Fides Baldesberger, says: “The key to a subtle, naturallooking brow lift is precision tweezing. With the right technique and the right tool, you can achieve the look in three seconds flat with no appointment necessary! Most people tweeze without strategy, but targeted hair removal can actually enhance your brow shape and create the illusion of a lift. The secret is to focus on stray hairs just beneath the highest point of your arch. Removing these hairs opens up the eye area instantly. However, make sure to avoid over-plucking the tail of your brow, as that can make brows look droopy instead of lifted. Make sure to always use a highquality, ultra-precise tweezer to prevent breakage such as the Rubis Tweezers Evolution 2in1 (www.amazon.co.uk), as this prevents uneven regrowth. 71 BEAUTY Q&A
