Wedding Beauty Tips

Many brides would like to be different or more dramatic on their wedding day. Here are my top tips to make sure you look and feel great!

You’re wedding day can be a very emotional one. I recommend using a waterproof mascara to ensure you don’t end up with panda eyes on your big day. I would only use waterproof mascara when necessary because it can be very drying to the lashes and cause them to fall out over a period of time. I use dark brown mascara for brides that prefer a softer more natural look on their eyes you can always top it up with a dramatic black for the evening reception.

Some brides would like to have a fake tan on their wedding day. My advice would be to make sure you have a trial run at least a month before so you know exactly how it will look. If you’re happy with the result and want to go ahead, it’s best to book the appointment for 2 days before the wedding to give the colour a chance to develop and look more natural. Be aware that fake tan does rub off so if your dress is pure white or pale ivory your arms may rub against it. Try it out beforehand by wearing a white t-shirt when you have the trial run.

Looking in magazines might make you want to make drastic changes to your hair. This isn’t a good idea just before your wedding. If you do want to change the colour try it out at least 6 weeks before and then retouch the roots a week before your big day. Remember vibrant colour in your hair can stain so make sure that all excess tint is rinsed away to ensure it doesn’t come off on your dress or skin. To give your hair a really fresh look highlights should be done no more than 3 days before the wedding.

Lipgloss is much more popular than lipstick at the moment, so if you choose a hairstyle with wispy tendrils that come down to your jaw line, it might be best to avoid lipgloss on a windy day. Hair sticks to lipgloss like glue and you don’t want to be pulling strands off your lips just before the big kiss!

And last but not least I always get my brides to wear an open fronted top or shirt while they have their hair and make up done. The last thing you want to do is mess up your perfect look before you put your dress on.

Now you can walk down the aisle with a smile ready to face your new husband.
