GLOW Bridal Get the look with Emma B Beauty Suffolk-based bespoke make-up specialist Emma Bird shares her step-by-step guide to a beautiful bridal glow. Emma says: I’m all about glowing skin, effortlessly beautiful make-up and enhancing your best features! My main aim is to make each bride feel like the best version of themselves. First and foremost, skincare prep is just as important as make-up when it comes to your wedding day, as this is the main canvas you’re working with! To recreate the effortlessly beautiful look I created for my bride Naomi follow the four-point plan below: STEP1: SKIN PREP Taking care of your complexion is so important and it doesn’t have to be daunting. I advise using a cleanser, a treatment of some kind, such as a toner, followed by a moisturiser and eye cream. Although some people might not consider lip balm as part of their regular skincare routine, I’d highly recommend it, as moisturised, plump lips give an instantly youthful look. Some of the favourite products for all skintypes in my professional kit include: ❤ Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base and their eye base ❤ Pixi Glow Tonic facial toner ❤ MAC Lip Conditioner ❤ Bobbi Brown Illuminating Moisture Balm STEP 2: PERFECT PEEPERS Naomi went for a gorgeous blown-out, bronzy eye effect inspired by the Charlotte Tilbury look. I used Tom Ford’s cream eyeshadow in Gigolo EMMA’S 2022 BRIDAL MAKE-UP PREDICTIONS ❤ Glassy, glowing, almost wet-looking skin ❤ Matte eyes, neutral colours with defined lashline ❤ Lots of blush!

To emphasise the lashline I used a Bobbi Brown’s Black Ink Eyeliner to create a thin wing to elongate her eye shape, topped off with lashes winged on the outer edge to enhance the cat-eye effect. STEP 3: RADIANT GLOW Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Foundation photographs beautifully, lasts all day and provides perfect medium full coverage for the base. Next apply concealer, I used Tarte’s Shape Tape, which I describe as ‘emotion-proof’ as it lasts well and doesn’t budge, so it’s great for weddings as there’s bound to be lots of happy tears! Naomi wanted her skin to look healthy and radiant so we topped it off with Bobbi Brown medium shade bronzer and their pale pink cream blusher. Last of all we added a little more glow to her cheeks using Bobbi Brown Pink Glow highlighter. STEP 4: FINISHING TOUCHES Naomi wanted a subtle, soft pink lip colour, so I used Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk lip liner and lipstick, the perfect duo. I brushed up her brows with a little HD Brows brow glue. Before the wedding she had a HD Brow treatment with me to perfect the shape with the help of tinting, waxing and threading. Lastly I spritzed some MAC Fix Plus Setting Spray to help set the make-up and create a seamless finish. 81 EXPERT ADVICE
