Q&A Beauty Look your big-day best with top expert advice TOP TRENDS What type of bridal make-up is likely to be trending in 2022? Glowy skin has been a huge trend in 2022; the look is created using less make-up and less matt products. We specialise in HD airbrush make-up, which allows our brides to achieve as little or as much coverage as desired without the make-up looking cakey or heavy on the skin. Applying products this way creates a lightweight look that’s comfortable to wear all day. I like to add a glow to the skin using an illuminating primer underneath the foundation, and then I add highlighter to the high points of the face after the base has been applied. Use a medium-sized blending brush to the tops of the cheekbones, brow bone and the centre of the face. I also like to add some of the product onto my clients’ shoulders and collar bones. Another trend that has made a huge comeback in 2022 is the glossy lips – gone are the sticky, gloopy glosses from the noughties. There are so many gorgeous, lightweight and smooth lip gloss formulas today, from luxe brands to the high street. I particularly love the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre in Seduction and the Nars Afterglow Lip Balms.

To reduce frizz, start by washing your hair with cold water to get that ultimate sleek look (not advised on a winter’s day) and use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner to create a natural shine. When removing the excess water, try patting your hair dry using a microfibre hair towel, which is far less damaging than a normal one. Do not twist your hair in a towel and throw it over your head. Yes, it gives us that instant facelift and Audrey Hepburn look, but your frizzy locks won’t love it. Before blow drying your hair, apply a small amount of an anti-frizz serum and a heat protector oil evenly throughout your hair to protected your locks and add softness. The next step is often where we can go wrong as too much heat can cause fizz. So lower the temperature on your hair dryer and make sure you use the correct brush. If your hair is curly, a round bristle brush can tame your mane and leave you with a soft frizz-free wave, while a paddle brush will help smoothen out frizz for those with straight hair. Finishing products are essential; I love to use a shine spray with a pea-sized amount of Moroccan oil on the ends of your locks. To help your hair stay frizz-free for longer, get those split ends trimmed and use a weekly intense moisturising hair mask. Also, braid your hair before bed and treat yourself to a silk pillowcase.
