FLOWERS 83 LOOKING YOUR B ST Make-up artist, Emma Askew (www.emmaaskew.com) tel ls us how you can incorporate a vintage theme into your make-up. Emma says: Vintage-inspired weddings are one of the most fun make-up looks to create. Here are some of my top tips: Glowing skin. Make-up will only sit well if it has a good base. Water will be your best friend so keep hydrated running up to your big day. The vintage look is all about porcelain skin, so invest in a quality long-wearing foundation such as Estee Lauder Double Wear which will see you right through the day and into the evening. Keep your skin matte and finish with a translucent pressed or loose powder to lock your make-up into place. Laura Mercier does an excellent one that will last you well beyond your big day. Create the perfect eyebrows. It’s amazing how different you can look with good or bad brows. Make sure yours are well-groomed and shaped. Vintage brows are strong and immaculate. Winged eyeliner. This is synonymous with the vintage look, and the key is to practice, practice, practice! Try a black liquid eyeliner pen such as the L’Oreal Perfect Slim. It’s super easy to use, waterproof, and one of the easiest ways to achieve wings. If you’re worried about straight lines, you can purchase templates to pop next to your eye or use a piece of sellotape that will do a similar thing. Lips. Red lips are a must when it comes to recreating that vintage look but be aware this look is high maintenance for a wedding day. Ask your maid- of-honour to be on lipstick duty, as you don’t want the dreaded red ring around your lips showing up on your photos. Regular application will make sure your pout is picture perfect!
