Meet the expert: Melissa Clare is a professional make-up artist covering weddings in Berkshire and the surrounding counties. She specialises in natural flawless make-up and effortless-looking, romantic hairstyles. Melissa says: This summer, more brides are choosing a modern minimalist vibe. Think luxurious, contemporary chic. For make-up, we’re seeing fresh glowing skin that enhances natural skin tones with apricot, toffee and stone shades on the eyes. This is finished with a diffused eyeliner and brows are lightly filled in with an uplifted brushed outwards look. Fresh pops of cream blush look radiant applied on the cheeks – add a little bit more than you normally would to give a romantic, rosy glow. Facial angles are accented with champagne highlights while lips are maximised with plumping gloss, tinted balms or creamy nudes. https://melissaclare.com www.instagram.com/melissaclaremakeup www.gettyimages.co.uk 82
