our make up artist will have many tricks and techniques up their sleeves and in their kit, to ensure that you look the very best version of


yourself on your big day. Here are a few tips you might like to implement in the months leading up to your bridal make up trial and consultation, as well as on your wedding day, that will assist your artist in making you look the radiant, flawless-faced bride that you've always dreamed of being.


Your skin is your make up-artist's canvas and make up will always sit better, look more flawless and last longer if it's applied to skin that is in good condition. Adopting some good skincare habits a few months before your wedding day needn't cost the earth, or take up lots of your time.


There are many great skincare products on the market to suit all skin types, lifestyles and budgets. Using a cleanser, toner and moisturiser

suitable for your skin type twice daily will greatly improve skin health. It's a good idea to seek advice from a skincare consultant or beauty therapist who can advise you on and help you choose products that are suitable for your skin's particular needs. Ensuring your daily moisturiser has a sun protection factor will help to protect your skin in the day, even in the winter months, as the environment causes the highest percentage of skin damage and ageing. Apply an appropriate night cream to help repair damage caused to the skin during the day. Your skin will thank you for the extra hydration and replenishing ingredients in your cream.


Using a gentle facial exfoliant once or twice a week will help to revive dull, tired looking skin and will assist the effectiveness of your facial moisturiser. For an extra skin treat once a month, ask your beauty therapist to recommend a


suitable facial mask for your skin's needs, whether that be a sumptuous hydrating mask or a deep cleansing clay mask.


The skin around the eyes is very delicate and usually one of the first places to show signs of tiredness, illness and ageing. Using an eye cream both in the day and at night helps to keep the skin around the eyes smooth and hydrated which will aid in the application of your eye make up. Apply an amount the size of a grain of rice, as advised by your skincare consultant, to make sure the skin around your eyes is in tip top condition for your big day.


Incorporating a well-balanced diet, drinking plenty of water and getting plenty of sleep in the run up to your big day are all factors that can help the skin to feel and look good, as well as giving you a general feeling of wellbeing.
