Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - Page number 80 - September/October 2021 (Issue 88)

GET THE LOOK We’re having a country wedding and I want my bridal make-up to be as natural as possible but still look great for the photos – any ideas? Caroline says: One of my recent brides Harriet (pictured) wanted a fresh, romantic dewy look with a hint of bronze for her country wedding. Here’s how to achieve it: ♥ I used a mixture of Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum and their Double Wear Stay-in-Place foundation in Fresco. ♥ Add a touch of colour to the cheeks with NARS Orgasm Blush and a sweep of Hourglass Ambient Highlighter. ♥ For the eyes I used subtle, soft pink shades from the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Eye Palette with a slick of Chanel Cassis Waterproof Eyeliner. ♥ For the finishing touch I topped Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lips with Tom Ford Bronzer in 01 Gold Dust. This look is easily adaptable to most skin types as long as you have reasonably clear, well moisturised skin. The dewy effect is very popular, it always looks really fresh and I love creating it. Caroline Swaffield | Hair and make-up artist www.amazing-face.co.uk YOUR BEST YOU I have a quirky personality and want my wedding to be different and reflect my style. What would you suggest for my bridal make-up? Melissa says: Every bride wants to look and feel their best on their wedding day, and when they do, the confidence and happiness shines through for all to see! If that means having the dark smoky eyes or bright red lipstick you love – then go for it! There are no rules for how a bride should look, you just need to make sure you feel like ‘you’ on the day. If you’re unsure about what kind of alternative style you want, then I’d definitely suggest having a trial beforehand so you can experiment with different looks. Some favourites for my brides have included black and purple smoky eyes, one who loved glitter had a touch of sparkle added to her eye make-up, and another went for the true vintage ‘50s look. Whatever you choose, just make sure it makes you smile when you look in the mirror on your wedding morning!’ Melissa Kassinen | Hair and make-up artist | www.madetoperfection.co.uk 80
