Helpful tips from Kate Hughes professional make up artist In London
'Everyone's going to be looking at you on your wedding day, so it's natural to feel under pressure to look beautiful. And what's the most attractive look for a Bride? It's you at the most gorgeous you can be. This simply means polishing you so you can look the best you can be.
This isn't the time to try anything tricky or novel. It isn't a good idea either to experiment with the latest make-up look as trends in make up change as quickly as those in fashion. The last thing you want is to be trapped in a style that will date. You'll regret it when you look at your wedding album in the years to come.
We think make up for your wedding should be as if you were going to a black-tie event. Everything should be stronger and pretty, even if your wedding takes place during the day.'
- I always apply waterproof mascara. It lasts longer and withstands tears!
- I use white shadow as a highlighter on your browbone. This is a great look with a weddding dress!
- Pale or brown lip colours can wash out your face in pictures, particularly when your wearing white.its a good idea to brighten lip shade slightly.
How to make the most your wedding photographer
Often the most stunning photographs of the Bride are taken in the precious time between getting completely ready and leaving for the ceremony. Your make up is fresh, your hair in place and your dress looks amazing.
It's important to build in some time at this point for some gentle photography. Your new husband will treasure pictures taken now. You'll be looking at your most gorgeeous, you'll be excited about the day ahead.
Like a good make up artist, a professional wedding photographer will want you to look and feel beautiful. You'll feel comfortable with Susan as you'll know her well by now. Here are just a few tips to make the most of this precious photo opportunity:
- natural light is often the most flattering. Susan will make the most of daylight coming through the windows. It's helpful if you can choose an airy, well lit room to get dressed in.
- try to keep clutter in this room to a minimum, at least around the window area. It doesn't look too good in photographs.
- try to keep stress levels to a minimum. This means allowing enough time to do up the back of a wedding dress
- you'll feel a lot more relaxed if you just have a couple of helpersin the room with you at this point. You'll have plenty of time to party later - it's now that you want to stay calm, collect your thoughts and have priority in the bathroom.
