Q&A Beauty Look and feel your big-day best with help from the professionals AUTUMN VIBES I’m struggling for ideas on how to wear my hair for my autumnal themed wedding. What would you suggest? Chloë Campbell from Chloë Campbell Hair and Makeup (www.chloecampbellmua.com) says: If you’re set to have your wedding during the autumn and wish to incorporate your wedding vibes into your hair, short of dying it a warm reddish brown, a great way to achieve the look is through your hair accessories. Autumn is full of warm earthy tones that look fantastic paired with any hair colour. Cool autumn breezes give you the opportunity to wear your hair down without the risk of over heating. Swap out beachy summer tousled locks for a more sleek, polished wave. If you want a further nod to the boho feel, which is forever a popular wedding style, then incorporate flowers into your hairstyle. Fresh or silk, this is a fantastic way to highlight the wonderful tones emblematic of autumn. If an Indian summer is in the forecast and you have the potential for a very warm wedding day, then an up-do is always a safe and elegant option. A low textured bun is a wonderful way of making hair appear more voluminous and is more forgiving on a long wedding day than a sleek undo. Whichever style you opt for, the key to highlighting your autumnal theme is through the incorporation of warm, rich textures and tones throughout the hair and accessories.

Claire Reed from The Beauty Ninjas (www.thebeautyninjas.co.uk) says: It’s advisable to have regular brow appointments with a reputable salon from at least six months before your big day. Your technician will be able to advise you on suitable treatments such as shaping, tinting and lamination. This will help to get your natural brows into the best possible shape. It’s best to avoid trying a new treatment or salon very close to the big day though. Excessively dark or over-plucked brows the week before your wedding won’t be a good look! If you do decide to tackle your own shaping, do it perfectly by familiarising yourself with the ratios of the face and use a flesh toned eye pencil to mark out your brows before you commit to the tweeze. On the big day itself, brows can be slicked into place with a clear gel such as Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze, and topped up with hair strokes using the NYX Micro Brow Pencil. BEAUTY ADVICE 83
