Q&A Beauty Look and feel your big-day best with help from the professionals SMOOTH OPERATOR I have thick hair that goes frizzy at the drop of a hat, how can I ensure sleek and shiny locks on my big day? Sarah Goodbarn from Bridal Hair by Bronte (www.facebook.com/sarah.weddinghair) says: Having thick, frizzy hair can be challenging especially when you want a beautiful bridal look that needs to last all day. Seasonal changes can even mess up the best of hair and can often make it impossible to style or manage the tresses! Frizzy locks during periods of high humidity is one common example of problems caused by seasonal changes. To help transform your unmanageable mane into smooth, easy-to-manage styles look to one of my favourite products, Color Wow Dream Coat Anti Humidity Hair Treatment. An easy-to-use hair spray, it means nothing’s too complicated. After shampooing apply it to towel-dried hair, blow dry in and smooth out frizz with a round brush. The anti frizz hairspray locks the cuticle, ensuring that every strand has a coating around it keeping the moisture out in the atmosphere where it belongs – a bit like giving your hair a waterproof jacket! This helps to keep your locks smooth during high-humidity seasons. Even if it rains on your wedding day you can rest assured that by using this product you can have the best results and be frizz free. IT’S ONLY NATURAL I’m not used to wearing make-up and have no idea what will look good on my wedding day. I still want to look like me! How do I decide? Pacha Marshall from Makeup by Pacha (www.instagram.com/makeupbypacha) says: When it comes to your bridal make-up I recommend keeping it timeless so that when you look back on your wedding photos in 10 years time you still love what you see. If you’re not used to wearing makeup then don’t feel you have to go for a full heavy glam look, the important thing is that you look and feel your absolute best on your wedding day. To keep it natural you could go for a tinted moisturiser, keep eyeshadow light and fresh with no dark tones. False eyelashes too can be subtle to enhance your eyes. Use liquid blush in a sheer finish and a subtle lip, maybe even a tinted balm. A professional, experienced make-up artist will know exactly what will suit you and will listen to what you do and don’t want. Make sure you have a trial and communicate fully giving feedback. In the run up to the wedding, invest in your skin. Stick to your routine, book some facials and drink plenty of water – the more you do, the better your make-up will look and last! You may need more than one trial just to get used to the look and feel of make-up; although again, an experienced MUA will be able to tailor the application in a way that feels light. www.marieansonphotography.com 76
