An Essex Wedding - Jul/Aug 2019 (Issue 87)

98 COLOUR CODE I don’t wear much make-up so I don’t know what colours suit me. How do I decide what to opt for? A trial is the best way to determine the best tones to complement your skin, eyes and hair. There’ll be certain colours that really light up your eyes and make your skin radiant, so we would experiment with these before the big day to find what works with your style and makes you feel confident. I also like to offer my brides an alternative colour range option, so you have the choice of what you prefer. Seeing different tones on your face will tell you if they have the feel-good factor for your special day. I’d also take into consideration the colours that’ll be in your dress, flowers, décor and bridal party attire to ensure that everything flows seamlessly. It’s important to make sure your eye and lip hues are complementary to your outfit and bouquet to complete your look. Leanne Perilly Leanne Perilly Make Up Artist leanneperilly.co.uk A LITTLE R&R With all the stresses of wedding planning, my best friend and I need to take some time to chill. What treatments do you suggest to help us relax and get big-day ready? We offer a variety of listed and bespoke packages to calm those pre-nuptial nerves and get you looking your big-day best. I’d start with a dermaplaning facial. This is a super-effective treatment that eradicates dead skin cells on the surface of your face. It exfoliates away microscopic hairs, which can cause clogged pores, leaving your skin bright. A triple enzyme fruit peel is also great for wedding prep. Again, great for removing dead skin, it’s also effective at cleansing pores. Team with a hyaluronic acid mask for hydration and LED light therapy for the production of collagen and elastin – you’ll soon have some seriously glowing skin! Finally, don’t forget to treat your feet with a spa pedicure. Sit back and relax in our massage chair and select your ideal shade of wedding nail polish. You can even bring in a bottle of bubbly to start the celebrations early! Emma Gatt  The Treatment Rooms | thetreatmentroomsessex.com Boho babe How do I create a boho-chic hairstyle to fit with my rustic wedding? Short for bohemian, this look draws its influence from a time when hairstyles were less structured and included flowing locks, loose braids and messy up dos. Perfection is not the goal for this style, instead aim for elegantly messy, loose and relaxed to fit the rustic theme. You can apply this vibe to lots of looks. A high, unstructured bun would be great with a few loose strands and pulled edges to soften. Try adding a plait to one side. Beach waves look great and can be achieved with a Kenra texture spray before curling. Next, apply PuffME by Design.ME to add volume and texture before brushing through with a wide- tooth comb. You’ll be left with a soft curl that will last all day. Braids are very on-trend for this season. Pulling and teasing as you go will create a more undone feel. Finish off any boho style with natural flowers to complement your venue perfectly. Tara Johnston Wedding Hair by Tara weddinghairbytara.co.uk Q&A Beauty Our local pros solve your problems
