MAKING
MAKE-UP Last
Your wedding make-up needs to last from firstlook
dressing, to dewy-eyed ceremony, to onlocation
photo shoot, right through to dining,
dancing and departing the reception. Therefore,
you will want to use everything at your disposal
to prevent shine, fade or frequent fix ups.
• Start with skin that is cool to the touch – cold water,
ice pack or cooling gel.
• Prep your skin with pore-tightening products that
will keep make-up application smooth.
• Thick make-up can cause more problems than light
coverage because it’s more obvious.
• Use an oil-free primer and less moisturiser to stop your
make-up “slipping”.
• Avoid make-up products that run, smear, flake or clump.
• Waterproof and tear-proof mascara is essential.
• Invest in a setting spray that is designed to “hold” your
make-up in place.
• For long-lasting lippy apply a lip primer first.
• Blot if it’s hot – a quick and easy way to remedy shine
or perspiration during the day.
• The simpler your make-up regime the easier it is to
touch-up quickly.
UP DOS & Fringes
Among all the ways we coax our hair into different
shapes and styles to beautify, cute-ify and specify
our particular look, the “up do” still has pride of
place for formal occasions and weddings.
An “up do” adds elegance, is usually more elaborate than an
everyday style and offers plenty of choice in finding a style
that suits your hair’s texture and the shape of your face.
Dressed high on the head or low near the nape of the neck,
there are simple ponytails, braids, or a combination of both;
buns can be ballerina sleek or high fashion messy, there are
smooth chignons and pleats as well as loose coils and curls.
For brides especially, when the hair is up, your face is more
visible and there is more emphasis on the design of the dress,
particularly around the neck and shoulders. An up do stays
in place for the wedding and the reception, is impervious to
the wind for photographs and doesn’t need extra attention
during the proceedings.
But if you want to add a bit more “sass”, join the fringe
revival! The big textured fringe is back, resting just below
the eyebrows or layered to the level of the cheekbones at the
sides. A fringe softens the drama of the up do and provides
both elegant or casual style for formal weddings or beach
bride ceremonies. However, a big fringe doesn’t suit every
face so think carefully before you make the chop or go for a
lighter, wispier forehead fringe.
Love is
