PERFECTWEDDING lan the Local suppliers share tips and tricks to help couples create their dream day BRIDAL BEAUTY Alice says: Your make-up is something that can make or break your entire bridal look, so it’s vital to get it right. Things can get a little confusing with so many looks to choose from and factors to consider. Think about how you usually wear your make-up on special occasions and look back at images of when you’d felt the best version of yourself – it’s important to know what you like and dislike. Pinterest is a great inspirational tool for creating mood boards but be careful, as it can also be full of unrealistic edited images. Some make-up styles can look amazing when eyes are closed but are actually heavy and cause the eyes to look smaller once opened. Keep in mind your dress style as the shape, material and neckline can all impact your look. Also, consider the time of year as a bold red lip can look fantastic for a winter wedding while glowing and dewy looks work well for summer. Preparing your skin with a skincare routine will help the make-up sit on your skin better. Ensure you cleanse, tone, and moisturise morning and night while drinking at least two litres of water per day. A spray tan can make you feel and look even more amazing on your big day as it helps to even out your skin tone, leaving behind a beautiful glow. It’s a good idea to get one well before your wedding to see how you look and feel. Make sure to think about the shade of foundation you’ll need to match your new tan. When it comes to photography, digital colour can wash you out, and that’s why you should go for a slightly heavier look – particularly with lipstick and blusher. No one wants flashbacks in their pictures, which is why I only use products with no more than an SPF of 15.
