“It’s not for everyone but a dramatic look is actually timeless,” Laetitia tells us. “There’s nothing like a bold lip to make an impact, but there are many different shades so do experiment with a few to find the most flattering. “When you team this lip with a winged black eyeliner and lashes you’ll ooze confidence and glamour! A gel-pot eyeliner is the best option for a bride as it’s waterproof, and consider too semipermanent eyelash extensions instead of false eyelashes if you think you may shed a tear – it’s an emotional day! Gel Line in Ebony by Delilah is always in my kit.” The look of love Find the perfect bridal make-up and hair look to suit your style CLASSIC ELEGANCE https://whilewewander.co.uk Alex Bird at Alex Anthony Hair and Beauty Salon tells us about lockdown bride Katy, “She’d had lots of time to think about her overall styling and wanted understated glamour, so we went for a chic wave with height on top paired with a diamanté clip.” TOP TIP “Think about your whole look including dress, make-up, hair and hair accessories. This will bring everything together.” – Alex Bird, Alex Anthony Hair and Beauty Salon “Contouring gives shape to the face where you want it. Without it features can look flat,” MUA Ruth Ashcroft explains. “Use either a contour stick or cream in a greyish brown shade as you’re trying to mimic shadow on the face. I use Face Trace Contour Stick in Biscuit by Westerman Atelier. Ensure you can’t see any harsh lines, you want a seamless transition.” https://johnknightphotography.co.uk Here, make-up artist Laetitia Rix from Makeup Angel has kept her bride’s eyes well defined yet softly blended with gold and warm brown tones. Meanwhile, her brows are perfectly groomed to frame the eye. We’re obsessed with the flawless and even skin and her cheeks are subtly enhanced with bronzer to shape and peach to warm. Laetitia says, “A soft peach lip colour complements this look perfectly, it’s a neutral hue that suits everyone. I recommend Delilah Colour Intense Cream Lipstick in Flirt.” Image courtesy of www.elizabethjosephlove.co.uk VINTAGE VIBES Claire Aunger from Kent Professional Makeup says, “This look has been popular this year, with striking red lips and dramatic eyeliner with a defined flick. I go quite natural for the foundation, with a more dewy finish compared to the naturally-flawless look.” “When I think of vintage, I think of a classic red lip,” says Emma Tedman at Beautification Station. “Make sure lips are well prepped before application by using a scrub and balm, which helps with staying power and flawlessness. I use MAC Ruby Woo Matte Lipstick along with Morphe Scarlett Lip Pencil to make it look super sharp.” OH THE DRAMA! https://johnknightphotography.co.uk LOOKING YOUR BEST 81
