Q&A Beauty Local experts offer advice on how to look your big-day best A SMOOTH COMPLEXION I have patches of dry skin along my jawline and forehead, and the rest is quite oily. Nothing I’ve tried works, and I’m worried about my big day make-up. Can you help? This is a very common issue with female skin that’s referred to as combination skin. Before applying any make-up, always exfoliate, cleanse, tone and moisture. For most of my brides I use two different types of moisturiser, one on the dry part of the skin and the other on the oily areas. If you want full coverage, find a good primer. I would always suggest a powder foundation for the oily areas and a liquid foundation for the dry areas. For best results use a sponge on the oily areas.

Think about what look you like and see what artists have portfolios showcasing this style. Make sure your supplier lives near your venue, so that mileage and travel charges will be less. Reading reviews will help you find a supplier. Make sure you get in touch as soon as possible so you have time to get to know your artist and book a trial so you can get a taste of their skill and personality.
