Q&A Beauty Our two experts answer your hair and beauty dilemmas PERFECT POUT Can you suggest some showstopping make-up ideas for my winter wedding? Winter is the perfect time to rock a statement lip, and a confident bride who boldly accessorises with a red carpet pout will definitely have the wow factor on the big day! A fresh faced complexion with a striking pop of lip colour is a favourite with the A-listers for special events, and the good news is there’s a bold colour to suit everyone. From cherry red to zesty orange; pretty pink or vampy burgundy; choose the shade that best suits your personality and confidence level. You can even think of tying this lip colour in with your bouquet or colour theme. Just be sure to invest in a matching lip liner, which is a must to ensure that your strong colour doesn’t bleed over your lip line, and remember to reapply your lipstick throughout the day to keep your look crisp and clean. After all, photographs are snapped all day long, and as a bride you’ll no doubt want to look and feel your best from morning to night!

When should I start thinking about booking my hairstylist for my wedding – and do you have any tips for finding one that’s right for me? Thinking about how you would like your hair is a key part of the wedding prep, especially once you’ve chosen your dress. It’s a good idea to start following wedding hair specialists to gain an idea of their work, as well as the styles you like, again taking into consideration your dress and the areas of it you want to show off. I’d advise booking a wedding hairdresser one to two years before your big day if possible, asking lots of questions first off, from whether they are confident working with hair extensions, if you use them, to the actual amount they’ll charge. It’s also a good idea to have a trial, discussing hair likes and dislikes as well as making sure you’re comfortable with each other. At my trials I also advise how to look after your hair in preparation leading up to your wedding, so that it will be in the best possible condition.
