Q&A Fashion and beauty Sound advice from local industry experts GREEN WITH ENVY My husband thinks my green eyes are my best feature. What eye make-up can I wear on the big day to make my eye colour pop? To bring out the vibrancy in green eyes, you have quite a range of colour tones to play with. Look to shades like soft rose gold. Metallic red-bronze and sparkly purple shades contrast beautifully with green eyes to intensify the colour for a hypnotising look. The red undertones in these shades of eyeshadow really make green eyes pop. Natural nude palettes can also really brighten green eyes and bring out gold tones as well. If you’re wanting to keep it soft and natural, nude or light rose gold is a great choice. Samantha Easter www.beautifulyoumakeupartist.co.uk STYLISH AND SECURE I’d love a really modern hair accessory. My hair is long and I’m wearing it in a loose chignon but it needs ‘something’. Please help! My recommendation for your bridal look would be a set of three hair pins… I love how versatile they are to style and you can tailor them around the hair either putting them in a row like a vine or slide, or scatter them through the hair. Also, they can be positioned when the veil is in so they’re visible and then easily moved to change the look slightly for the evening! My favourite brands for bridal hair accessories are Arianna Bespoke and PS with Love. Both are handmade, making them extra special! Rachel Wojtkiw www.instagram.com/leggybirdhair ASK THE EXPERTS 79
