Your Sussex Wedding - Dec/Jan 2019 (Issue 82)

112 The eyes have it I’d like to make my eyes look bigger so that they really stand out. What can you suggest? Danielle says: To make eyes look bigger and brighter use a skin tone pencil along the waterline rather than a black. Begin by defining the area around the eyes with a dark eyeshadow shade, followed by a lighter hue on the inner corners. Finish by blending into an ombre to really make the peepers pop!

What can you suggest? Alison says: Much of your day will take place under artificial light, so I usually encourage my winter brides to opt for a more glamorous look. Red or purple roses and vibrant berries often feature in bouquets at this time of year so I love to use plum and berry lip colours. New York Apple and Lustering, both by MAC are two of my favourites. Eyes can still shimmer without the need for glitter. A touch of gold or silver eyeshadow in the centre of the eyelid can really make your eyes pop. Try Charlotte Tilbury’s Luxury Palette of Pops in Celestial Eyes. A slick of black gel liner along the top lash line, such as Bobbi Brown Black In Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, gives a touch of Hollywood glamour when paired with a gold lid. Alternatively, you may prefer to create a smoky eye using a pencil liner smudged along the upper lash and winged to elongate the eye. Finally, add a few false lashes for a wide-eyed flutter. Brush a pop of blush to the apples of your cheeks, then sculpt with bronzer, and a touch of highlight to finish for perfect candlelit skin.
