82 Q&A Our local pros solve your problems www.rapidimageuk.com TOTALLY TIMELESS Q What’s a classic bridal look that I’ll love in my photos for years to come? Your wedding hair and make-up is possibly the most important beauty look you’ll ever choose. Having worked with many brides, and now being a Mrs myself, I’d recommend focusing on achieving an enhanced version of yourself. You want it to still be you and your style, but with a little something extra. The common denominators for traditional bridal looks are perfect skin and effortless curls. This look is a classic, yet it can still be interpreted in a modern way to stand the test of time. Nothing allows your natural beauty to shine through like fresh skin, beautiful brows and a soft pink lip. It means everything else can speak for itself – there’s great beauty in simplicity. Warm golden tones and reflective skin are a flattering combination for most brides, and this elegant look is easy to maintain all day long. Ultimately, a look in which you feel the best version of yourself will ensure you’ll always love how you look in your wedding album. Jemma Freeman | Jemmas Hair and Makeup | www.jemmashairandmakeup.com LET IT GLOW Q How do I create a fresh-faced dewy finish for my summer wedding? To get that dewy glow for your big day, start by applying a matt primer, rather than an illuminating one, as this will create a flawless blank canvas to work on. Next, add the glowing look by choosing a foundation with a lightweight radiant formula. Cover any blemishes with a cream concealer and blend it in well. A peachy cream-based blusher with give a natural flushed look – but use sparingly and make sure you blend. Then, lightly dust the face with an illuminating powder. Opt for a shimmery formula, rather than glittery, to avoid looking oily. Try a complementing glossy lip – a pop of colour always looks great at this time of year! Complete your transformation with a radiant-finish setting spray. Stephanie Farrow | Makeup by Stephanie | www.makeupbystephanie.co.uk Beauty
