Q&A Beauty Look and feel your big-day best with help from the professionals ICE PRINCESS I’m planning a winter wedding and need some ideas for my bridal make-up look. Can you help? Jane says: Winter is a magical season for a wedding and a great time to be more creative with your make-up incorporating bolder colours, shimmer and party glam. Here are my top tips to steer you along the right path. Harsh wind, severe cold, and central heating can all dry out the skin, causing sensitivity and dryness. Extra care of the skin is required during the build up to your day ensuring you look flawless in photos. Invest in a good skincare routine. Exfoliate and moisturise regularly and for an extra boost, add a facial oil. Use a lip scrub once or twice a week and be sure to apply a rich lip balm to avoid lips drying out. Choose a hydrating primer underneath your base to remain radiant. Opt for a light-reflecting combination of powder- and cream-based make-up as this will keep your skin hydrated throughout the day and looking flawless in the changing winter light. Choose waterproof eye liners and mascara as cold, chilly winds can make you teary in outdoor photographs. Consider a bold lip. Red or rich berry lipsticks can look particularly lovely on a winter bride and stronger colours last longer too. Use cream-based blushers and highlighters, which are easier to apply and look more natural in winter light. Avoid strong build-up of bronzing and contouring as this looks unseasonal. Add just enough for additional warmth to the skin. Adding highlighter or a shimmer lifts the skin, however resist the temptation to sprinkle glitter everywhere!
