Q&A Beauty Our local experts give their advice TOUSLED TEXTURE I have short, tousled hair. How can I make it ‘bridal’ for my wedding day? Transforming a short hairstyle into a bridal look is all about adding elegance, texture, and details that elevate it for the big day. Here’s a step-by-step guide for a chic bridal hairstyle on short hair: 1. Prep the hair. Wash and condition: use volumising products to give the hair body 2. Blow-dry: Use a round brush to create smoothness and volume, especially at the roots. 3. Add texture: Use a curling iron or wand to create soft waves or curls, which will help add dimension. 4. Twist or braid the top sections of the hair back, pinning them in place while leaving soft curls or waves to frame the face. Marina Moore | Bridal Hair by Marina www.bridalhairessex.co.uk YOU GLOW GIRL I’ve grown up with acne so I’m very conscious about my skin - even though it’s so much better than in my teenage years. What should I let my MUA know? How can I be confident in my skin on the day? Firstly, you and your skin are beautiful and your wedding day is all about embracing you! I totally understand how this may make you feel, so I always say, be honest, upfront and transparent with your artist. Discuss the options of coverage and finish with your artist and they’ll be able to talk you through the level of coverage you’ll be happy with. A more matte base may be better and then we can target certain areas to show off the glow. Discussing what you’re currently using is often a good way to communicate what you like about these current products and what you don’t, show what parts of your current look you’d like to change and what you love. Save inspirational photos that you love, and also some that you don’t like as much. It helps show us exactly what it is you’re not loving so much. Make-up is an amazing tool to give confidence but it’s not all about what the look is like at the end, it’s about the way it makes you feel. This is exactly what us bridal make-up artists want to create for you! Communication is key, and always remember, we love to hear your changes and feedback after your trial.
