Beauty editor Kelly Andrews shares her latest beauty must-haves for the bride to be FEEL FLAWLESS Speak to any wedding make-up artist and they’ll most likely tell you that primer is a must, which is why I wanted to share with you my latest discovery: Super Facialist Skin Perfecting Primer (£17). This little beauty creates a flawless-looking complexion using trusted skincare ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, and colour-correcting pigments. It cleverly blurs imperfections by counteracting the three most common concerns of redness, sallowness and dullness, while simultaneously working to bring back skin’s natural radiance.

After all, beauty prep for your big day is about giving your make-up artist the very best canvas to work with and lip treatment is an important part of that. So, renew, replenish and hydrate to the max with this caring, clean, vegan product. Find it at www.feelunique.co.uk and www.boots.com BACK TO ITS ROOTS Molton Brown was born in the 1970s as a hair salon based in the heart of London’s shopping district on South Molton Street, which was frequented by the Rolling Stones and many other icons of the day. Creators Caroline Bernstein and her husband would hand mix all formulations in the basement, with conscious care for the environment at the forefront of the brand’s values even then. Now, on the brand’s 50th anniversary it has re-introduced hair care to its range. The collection contains four tailored collections, each with a botanical at the core of its formulation: balancing, volumising, hydrating and repairing. This approach means you can strategically build a healthy-hair routine into your big-day prep depending on the needs of your locks.

A fragrance with a conscience, each essential oil has its own story to tell including sandalwood from West Timor, which is extracted from protected and sustainable trees. It’s also made using a new source of olibanum oil from the Dayaxa region in Somaliland. It has full traceability down to the harvester level, with every step of the process being mapped on blockchain. In fact, Lush is working with its supplier to kickstart a project to train local women in small-scale olibanum oil distillation, a first in the community. Find it online at www.lush.com, where it’s priced at £25 for 30ml. LUXE LIPS If you’re looking for a dramatic shade of lippy to make an impact as you walk down the aisle, check out the four new shades from Victoria Beckham Beauty’s Posh Lipstick collection. Fire is a blazing red orange, Jump is a mid-tone cool rose, Spark is a mid-tone warm rose and Twist is a light neutral pink. Each one is inspired by and named in reference to one of Victoria’s personal memories. These lipsticks offer pure luxury with rich colour, deep moisture, soft shine and sophisticated design, all in a supremely clean, vegan formula – everything the 2020s bride needs.
