Question: I don’t usually wear a lot of makeup, but I understand that I will need to wear more on my wedding day – can you please tell me how to achieve a natural look?
Answer: Keep it simple – after applying a makeup primer apply a sheer silicone based foundation with a base brush for an even coverage. Follow with a light reflecting concealer where needed and a light dusting of loose powder on your t-zone (don’t forget your eyelids, as this creates a ‘base’ for your eyeshadows).
Keep cheeks fresh and dewy with a liquid blush in a pretty rose/ peach tone.
For a natural look, keep the eyes soft with a soft tone of beige/ taupe or light pink on the eyelid. Define your eyes with a small amount of eyeliner in dark brown (if you are wearing a beige/ taupe colour) or charcoal grey (if you are wearing a pink tone). Apply this to the top lashline, as near to the root of the lashes as possible.
Curl your lashes and apply a few coats of black mascara.
To finish the look, apply a pretty lipstick (just one shade darker than your own lip colour) and then apply a small amount of gloss on top.
