What would you recommend for my make-up? Winter weddings have a fantastic party feel to them and spirits are always high. After all, what celebration is bigger than a wedding? ❤ Perfecting the right amount of sparkle can be tricky, but with a good make-up artist on board, you’ll be able to create an oh-so-chic look. Be sure to have a trial, make it clear exactly what you want and don’t be afraid to try something new. ❤ Stay true to yourself and your style. You don’t want to look back at your photographs in 10 years and not like what you see. ❤ Stick to a colour palette that flatters your skin tone and eye colour. ❤ If you normally wear very soft make-up, then opt for a pale frosted eyeshadow and a shimmering lip gloss. Pair this with fresh glowing skin, soft rosy cheeks and wispy lashes. ❤ Alternatively, if you want to rock a smoky eye, apply loose glitter on top of your eyeshadow. Finish the look with a demi-matte foundation, a nude lip and spiked lashes. ❤ I offer a Platinum Package, which includes a second make-up look for the evening. If you don’t fancy the idea of incorporating glitter into your ceremony look, then this is a fantastic way of transforming for the evening celebration. Daniella Ingle Make-up artist daniellamakeuphair.com WINTER CHIC We’re having a winter wedding and would like our mums’ outfits to reflect this. Do you have any ideas? Before purchasing a dress, take the venue into consideration. If the ceremony and reception are taking place at different properties, then staying warm is a priority. There are lots of dress and jacket/ coat combinations that would look fabulous. The other main consideration is the theme of the wedding. Look for rich autumnal shades, delicate seasonal pastels, sparkling silvers, opulent golds and sumptuous winter creams in luxurious fabrics. Ultimately, your mum needs to choose something that suits her colouring and figure and that she feels confident and comfortable in.

Do you have any suggestions? Winter is the perfect time of year to play with colours, glitter and go that little bit extra. ❤ Opt for a bold red lip. The Pat McGrath Labs Lust Mattetrance Lipstick in Elson is a cool-toned, Santa red with a satin finish that will stay on even after a mistletoe kiss. ❤ Apply environmentally-friendly glitter to the centre of your eyelid for a sparkly look. If you decide to keep your make-up fairly neutral, you can choose any colour sparkle, from gold and red to emerald green. Mimi Lomax Make-up artist mimilomax.co.uk
