86 Q&A Beauty Fashion and Our local pros solve your problems BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL How can I introduce a pop of colour to my beauty look without it being over the top? We think of colourful make-up as being bright, but if you really want to wow your partner and guests, then line your lips to the max and apply a matte berry-red lipstick for a sultry pout. When worn with a nude eye and base this looks absolutely stunning, giving you instant catwalk-model vibes. This year, more subtle hues are also on the agenda. Try asking your make-up artist to use a lovely deep vintage pink on your lips, teamed with rose gold on your eyes. Flawless and glowing skin is important with this style. Delicately define the cheeks and add a hint of radiance too. Deborah Chalmers | Love Hair and Beauty Boutique lovehairandbeautyboutique.com COOL CLASSICS What is a classic bridal beauty look that photographs well? A bride exudes natural radiance and therefore will always look great on camera. Go light on the base using something like Charlotte Tilbury’s Light Wonder. It gives great coverage, melts beautifully into the skin and also allows dimensions of your complexion to show through. Your eyes should be kept soft. Beige and brown tones are striking with a pop of champagne or cream tones. These colours highlight your eyes without being too out there. Use a soft liner or a dark shadow to smudge through your lash line and upper water line to open up the eye. Apply a dusting of warm bronzer and a dusky pink blush for that glowing look. Match your lips to your cheeks in a pinky-rose hue to leave them plump and fresh. Kate Howard | KH Make Up Artistry | khmakeupartistry.com TAILORED TO PERFECTION I’m considering having my dress made, but I’m a bit apprehensive – what’s involved in the process? Going bespoke is such a special way to create your dream gown. It gives you the opportunity and freedom to express who you are and come away with something that’s perfect for you. It’s an exciting process for both you and the designer, as your combined vision is brought to life. Having a dress made to measure can take up to six months. However, this depends on the complexity of the design and the availability of the designer. Good companies will get booked up quickly, so the sooner you can start the process the better. Normally, you’ll have two or three consultations. The first would be for you to provide information about your big day that your chosen professional needs to know in order to start designing. You’ll then move on to choosing details and fabrics. From this, a cotton-calico toile, or mock-up dress, will be made to ensure the fit and design are as desired and any changes can be made. After this, the gown is produced in your chosen fabric and the final fittings can commence. Your dress will always be made in stages to ensure you’re happy and you’ll end up with a product to cherish forever.
