Your Sussex Wedding - April/May 2021 (Issue 90)

84 Look your big-day best with help from the professionals Q&A Beauty AHEAD OF THE CURVE What modern day trends can I incorporate into my big-day make-up look while maintaining a timeless feel? Becky says: Some of my favourite trends this year are fluffy brows, glowing skin, a pop of colour on the eyes and bold lips. Make sure you choose the trends you love and feel confident wearing, then incorporate them into a classic make-up look to ensure your overall look maintains that timeless feel. Here are my top tips: ❤ I love keeping brows fluffy and natural by using a brow gel to enhance the arch already there. ❤ If you’re looking for glowing skin, use a hydrating foundation and make sure you pop some powder on your T-zone to get a fresh, rather than oily, look. ❤ A pop of colour on the eyes looks great, especially a soft, muted shade all over the eyelids for a wash of colour. I love to keep this look eyeliner-free, simply pairing the eyeshadow with some mascara and fresh, bronzed skin. ❤ Bold lips are a classic. I absolutely love adding this statement to evening make-up. One of my favourite things to do is return to the venue after the wedding breakfast and intensify the bride’s make-up by adding a bold red lip. She can then return to her guests, starting the party with a new look – classic and trendy. HAIR TODAY… I’d love an ultra-modern hair style for my big day. What’s hot right now? CWM beauty editor Kelly says: If 2020 taught us one thing it was how to chill the heck out! Let’s be honest we’re all happy to leave the house looking a lot less coiffed than we used to, and this ethos has translated to the aisle. Lived-in tresses with texture and softness are the way forward for 2021 and beyond. Brides are after a look that’s comfortable and reflective of their personalities. No longer should you be afraid to see a hair out of place. Think plenty of texturising spray and softly pinned buns. We’re absolutely delighted to see hair accessories growing in popularity amongst our brides, and with such an abundance of choice you can’t go wrong. Everything from a white satin or pearl- encrusted headband to a delicately bejewelled hair vine is in. You may even choose to minimise or forego jewellery altogether in favour of a statement head piece. For the modern boho bride, why not consider a super-cool fedora or panama hat with fresh flower band? Be creative and enjoy!
