Your Yorkshire Wedding - September/October 2020 (Issue 44)

 Beauty from the inside out Top tips and hacks from the best of Yorkshire’s fashion and beauty scene https://nick porterphotography.com Tell us about your company… I studied for a diploma as a professional make-up artist and have since gained excellent experience in my ten-year career in make-up and beauty. I have a keen eye for detail and I’m extremely passionate about exceeding my clients' expectations. What’s your top bridal make-up tip? As much as make-up is important on the day, you should still look like yourself. For example, don’t opt for smoky eyes and red lipstick if you would never normally wear those colours. You want to love what you see and look back at pictures and look like yourself. What’s your favourite way to relax and have some me-time? There’s nothing better than giving yourself a little facial at home. Skincare is very important every day, particularly to get your skin ready for the wedding. Ella Warner | Ella Warner Makeup | www.ellawarnermakeup.com H ave you ever wanted expert advice on how to look and feel your big-day best? Well, we asked the pros, and they answered… Tell us about your company… Based in Holmfirth, Bijou Bridal Boutique is a thoroughly British designer bridal shop, offering brides and bridesmaids the latest styles from a selection of award-winning labels such as Alan Hannah, Mia Mia and Ivory & Co by Sarah Bussey. What’s your top dress-buying hack? Your wedding gown is undoubtedly the most important dress you’ll ever wear. As they’re made specifically for each bride, allow plenty of time to choose and order – usually around nine to 12 months before the big day. This then gives time for alterations and to choose accessories to complete your look. What’s your favourite way to relax and have some me-time? I like getting a manicure, and I enjoy the pampering session enormously! Having my hair done is a great way to relax too; I can switch off for a couple of hours and catch up on magazines in the salon, which is something I’d never do at home!
