Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - Oct/Nov 2019 (Issue 73)

THE CLASSIC BRIDE This is all about celebrating the bride’s natural beauty, but using make-up to enhance it further. Gorgeous skin, subtly sculpted with a flush of colour on the cheeks, will always look timeless. I love using a multipurpose product such as Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek to achieve a cohesive look. Softly defined eyes in complementing shades will ensure they stand out in photos – try the Dusky Rose Palette from MAC for a softly smoky look. Lashes are the finishing touch, and I adore MAC 33 Lash, as they don’t scream “falsies.” They’re a fine black-brown style and slightly longer in the middle, which opens up the eye. For the lips, if you haven’t tried Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillowtalk lip colour, then you really need to!

For relaxed nuptials, you’ll be looking for make-up to fit this aesthetic. Beautiful clear skin, with coverage just where it’s needed, will keep this look fresh yet not overdone. I’d opt for laid-back smoky eyes with just enough definition. KIKO Cream Eye Shadow Stick in Golden Chocolate gives a seamless colour that wraps around the eyes, showcasing them in photos. It also adds longevity if you choose to wear other shadows on top. I love the NARS Voyageur Eyeshadow Palette for a neutral tone. Dab on lipstick to give a long-wearing stain that will fade evenly. It’s also super-easy to touch up throughout the day.

But when it comes to a glamorous beauty look, it’s all about finding the balance between just enough and not too much. Using creams to sculpt the face will add definition while effortlessly blending in with the rest of your products. Lick and Lash Beauty Cream Contour Palette is so affordable and blends brilliantly. For a captivating yet tasteful highlight, MAC Cream Colour Base in either Hush or Improper Copper will give a Victoria’s Secret model-style sheen to the cheekbones. It’s also smooth enough not to look glittery or chunky in photographs.

A good base is the foundation to any make-up look, so maintain a simple skincare routine, apply lip conditioner and drink plenty of water. A fter honing her skills for 12 years with a leading cosmetics brand, Emma has learned a thing or two about make-up, so we decided to pick her brains about how to create three different bridal styles. “When I’m creating a look for someone, I’m not thinking about what shade of lipstick is most fashionable,” says Emma. “I don’t worry about what’s going to look cool on my Instagram. I’m thinking about the person in front of me and how she wants to feel on her big day. I work with her own style to make her feel like the best version of herself.” Whether you’re a traditional kinda girl or you’re more likely to rock an alternative vibe, Emma tells us how to achieve it… THE best YOU We chat to the lovely Emma of Emma Louise Makeup (emmalouisemakeup.co.uk) about creating your perfect big-day beauty look – whatever your style 86
