Your Herts & Beds Wedding - October/November 2019 (Issue 76)

98 STAYING POWER I have naturally thin, straight hair. How can I add a wave and volume that’ll last the duration? There are a few ways to maintain a wave and volume. Be sure to set your hair early, leaving it in for the duration of the morning prep. The layering of strong-hold products throughout the styling stages can help to keep the final look in place, without giving that crispy over-hair-sprayed finish. If you have fine locks, adding extensions will add fullness and will help to hold your style. If colour matched and inserted well, they’re very discreet.

How can I find the right look and colours? Start by scouring through magazines and online to see what styles you like and you’ll find that there may be a common theme. Look for inspiration from pictures of people with a similar colouring and hair shade to you. Pinterest is a great way to collect images of makeovers you love leading up to your big day and your make-up artist will also advise on the best products for you. Whether you want to be a boho, romantic, glam or natural bride, don’t feel you have to conform to any particular style. Your make-up can be an enhanced version of what you’d normally wear and if you choose something totally different, as long as you feel confident and amazing, that’s what matters. Expert: Chloe-Eleanor Russel Chloe-Eleanor MUA | chloe-eleanor.com EYES WIDE OPEN What can I do with my make-up to make sure that my eyes stand out in our pics? Opting for darker shades than normal is a great start. Smokey make-up can make the eyes appear larger and more open. Finish by framing them with a strong liner. Adding fake lashes towards the edges will open up the corners for a dramatic style but if false isn’t for you, use a thick coat of very black mascara and be sure to have well-defined brows. If you’re opting for dramatic eyes, I’d advise to choose a nude lip. Expert: Charlie Pearcy Charlie Pearcy Weddings | charliepearcyweddings.com
