Q&A Fashion & beauty Look and feel your big-day best with help from the professionals YOU DO YOU I want my style to shine through on my wedding day, how can I tailor my choice of makeup to reflect my individuality and the day’s vibe? Jane Dare from Eyedomakeup (https://eyedomakeup.co.uk) says: For a modern glam look, go metallic. Metallic eyeshadows in shades like gold, silver or rose gold add a modern luxurious touch. These shades catch the light giving your eyes a mesmerising sparkle and really make a statement. For a more subtle, romantic look that creates a natural radiance, consider soft pinks and peaches with champagne or pearl shimmer in the centre of the eye creating a pop. Meanwhile, a classic, flicked, bold black liner and lash will make a statement as the look elongates your eyes, creating a lasting impression, team it with a bold red or bright pink lip for drama. The classic smoky eye is a timeless choice creating a sophisticated and glamorous look. Neutral tones like taupe, bronze or grey add a depth and intensity to your eyes that stands out in photographs. Team with a nude lip. Quirky or second cocktail dress for the evening? Vamp up the eyes with more shimmer, liner, lashes and a bold lip. Add a pop of shimmer to the centre, gloss and go. Whether you’re going for a classic, romantic, bold, modern, or subtle look. The goal is to enhance your natural beauty with colour and create a stunning gaze that you’ll remember for a lifetime. TO VEIL OR NOT TO VEIL? I can’t decide whether I want a veil or not. How do I know if it’s for me and can I personalise it suit my look? Rebecca from Rebecca Anne Designs (www. rebeccaannedesigns. co.uk) says: Deciding whether to wear a veil on your wedding day is a personal choice. If you’re unsure, try one on – trust me, even if you’re on the fence, you’ll know if it gives you that special feeling. A veil undeniably adds a traditional elegance and sentimentality to your look but personalising it with custom embroidery reflecting your style and love story can make it uniquely yours. As a veil designer, I work collaboratively with all my brides in creating a contemporary bespoke design to beautifully complement and elevate their bridal style, making it a cherished keepsake. www.charliebritz.com RISE AND SHINE Matte or dewy foundation? I’m confused! How do I know the best one for me on my wedding day? Hair and make-up artist Evie Smith (https://eviesmakeup.com) says: This is a question I get asked at least a few times a month! The short and unhelpful answer is: it depends! I love a dewy look on myself, but I probably wouldn’t opt for it on a super-sunny day. It can make you look healthy but if the sun is shining, it can also make you look a little sweaty – not great for your wedding day! I find that dewy foundations have less longevity than their matte counterparts so if you’re looking for something with real staying power, opt for a more matte finish and concentrate on highlighting areas like the tops of your cheekbones and under your browbone, to add a little life. Matte foundation is also perfect if you tend to get a little oily throughout the day or have problematic skin/areas of blemishes. Adding some touches of highlighter either before or after the application can strike a good balance and give you the best of both worlds. www.shootingpixels.net https://kamilanowakphotography.com 73 FASHION AND BEAUTY Q&A
