Wedding season is upon us, which means that whether you are the bride-to-be or just a guest, it’s time to decide how to nail your wedding-day look. More and more brides are opting to do their own make-up. Even Kate Middleton applied her own for her big day.
So if you go the do-it-yourself-route, here are a few of my wedding day make-up tips.
(1) Go natural. Your groom should be able to recognize you without having to peer through war-paint. Your lips should be just a few shades darker than your natural shade, and keep your eye make up simple with light shades of browns and nudes.
(2) Use concealer on your eyelids before applying any eyeshadow. This will ensure that you can not see any lines or veins in your gorgeous photos.
(3) Use translucent powder to avoid shine. I love Estee Lauder. If you are really oily, you should also bring blotting powder in your purse- or have one of your bridesmaids carry it for you.
(4) Avoid runny mascara for those teary moments by opting for a set of my Hollywood Lashes. You’ll be able to completely forgo mascara, but your lashes will look long and luscious and you won't have to worry about mascara on your honeymoon either!

(5) Eyebrow shaping is important to frame your face, so be sure to have a tidy up before your big event with either a brow shape, tint and wax or our 6 step celebrity brow treatment for a more dramatic look. All will naturally enhance your perfectly arched brows.
(6) Be tantastic on your big day without being orange. Fake Bake 60 minute tan is easy to apply and only needs to be on for 1 hour before washing off. Alternatively book in for a Fake Bake Original Tanning Treatment which includes a full body exfoliation to prepare your skin. Brides should tan 48 hours before the wedding and not the night before.
(7) If there is one thing that everybody will be asking to look at on your big day, it is your wedding ring so make sure your nails and hands are not a case for embarrassment! Begin to prep your hands weeks before the big day by applying hand lotion frequently and pushing back your cuticles on a regular basis. Always use a base and top coat when painting your nails at home. Pale bridal colours reek romanticism but many brides are opting for red or plum nails this season. If you don't feel confident doing your own nails, you can book in for a relaxing luxury manicure or pedicure which includes massage, a simple shape and paint which includes cuticle work or try out our Shellac gel nail polish system for chip resistant nails for up to 14 days.
