Here Comes the Bride ...
Every bride wants to look beautiful on their wedding day and this means that as well as choosing the perfect dress, you need to pay attention to hair and make-up.
These should reflect your personality and be worn with ease. Go for make-up and hair trials. These will allow you to try out a number of ideas. Take along images of hairstyles and make up looks that you like, and take their professional advice as they will know what will work best.
Weddings are often long events, so it is important that your make up has staying power. Creating the perfect base is an important element for longevity.
The right shade of foundation is essential, especially when wearing a strapless gown. Matching foundation to your collarbone rather than your face provides consistent colour on body, face and neck.
It’s probably best to highlight either your eyes, or your lips. Highlighting both can look too heavy. Eyebrows need definition and you should choose waterproof mascara. Flash photography can annihilate your blusher and make you look washed out, so take test shots before your wedding day to find out what works best.
Your choice of hairstyle will be affected by your dress shape, and the length and texture of your hair. A good hairdresser will want to know about your dress style, colour, and any
accessories that you
wish to wear in your hair in order to get a look that is totally complimentary. In
addition to traditional veils and tiaras, sparkly clips and bands are available, or you may choose flowers to decorate your hair.
Conditioner is not recommended for your wedding day as it can make hair unmanageable. Products can be used to fix the style and add shine.
Finally, when booking a hairdresser or a make-up artist, you should consider their personality. You may be feeling quite stressed or excitable during your preparations, so choose someone who can help create a relaxing, calm and fun atmosphere, so that you enjoy getting ready for your wedding day.
