Looking the part needn't be stressful on your wedding day
W
HETHER the wedding
is a big celebrity-style
bash or a low-key
knees-up in the local pub, every
bride wants to look and feel her
best.
There's nothing worse than a
bride tinted an unflattering shade
of orange or wearing garish
lipstick � especially when she'll be
preserved for posterity in her
photographs.
Expert make-up artist Mailin
Haddow has helped hundreds of
brides to look gorgeous on their
big day.
Mailin says that while some
brides want to look very natural
and others want to be very
glamorous, they all want make-up
that lasts all day and looks great in
photos.
"With my work on fashion
shoots, I know which products
look best in photographs and look
great throughout the whole day,"
she says.
"I don't particularly like to use
foundations and lipsticks that are
specifically marketed as being long
lasting, as these can tend to look
dry and tired on the skin as the
day wears on.
"Instead, I like to use primers
under the base, anti-shine lotions,
radiance boosters where
necessary, lightweight talc-free
powder, waterproof mascaras and
eyeliners, so that the make-up still
has a radiance to it," she says.
Even if you feel confident about
doing your own make-up, Mailin
says having someone else to apply
it will give you time to relax and
be pampered.
Be wary of putting yourself in
the hands of a friend, though �
both your face and your friendship
might be better off if you enlist a
professional.
"An experienced make-up artist
will listen to what you want to
look like and create your perfect
look," Mailin says.
"Ultimately the bride must be
absolutely comfortable with the
make-up and feel confident, so it is
a good idea to have a trial
beforehand to ensure you get a
look that you are happy with.
"If you see any pictures in
magazines of make-up you like,
then tear them out and show
them to your make-up artist at
the trial.
"These don't have to be bridal
pictures, just any make up which
you think is what you might be
looking for."
Mailin suggests having a trial run
about six to eight weeks before
the wedding � and don't forget to
factor in things like getting a fake
tan. "Different fake tans can suit
different skin types so it is worth
knowing in advance of the big day
which one is right for you," she
says.
"If you can, try and coincide your
trials for hair, make-up and fake
tan, as this will give you an idea of
the overall finished look."
