As wedding season approaches, our Senior Artists share their personal favourites for beautiful bridal makeup. Beauty for the betrothed, their guests and everyone with an occasion in the diary this summer.
Laura
"My top bridal pick is our Weightless Cream Foundation. It’s buildable to cover whatever you need, but looks like skin and lasts all day. It feels creamy and smooth as it goes on, yet it's oil-free and comfortable and doesn’t clog pores."
Find your ready-to-wear shade with our online Foundation Finder or book a free Bespoke Foundation Blending appointment at the boutique to create your custom shade.
If you are planning to use fake tan for your wedding day, ensure you get your foundation matched to your tan for best results
Basia
"My favourite for brides is Blush Touch as a mineral cheek colour. The silky blendable formula looks very natural and lasts even longer than cream products which is great for events. The freshest shades to complement a white dress are 'Blush' and 'Rose'."
The choice of colours in your bridal makeup is very personal and links to your decor and flowers as well as the season.
Get expert advice selecting your “colour trousseau” with our Bridal Makeup Playtime experience which is
fully redeemable against product purchase.
Iulia
"Bridal clients will often worry about looking shiny in photographs, especially in the summer months. Silk Radiance is the perfect solution.
Our ultrafine finishing powder both controls shine and smooths everything out, lending skin a satin finish which still retains its inner glow."
Minimise shine further with a smart choice of primer. Avoid rich, creamy skincare on the day of the wedding as this will slowly dissolve the makeup throughout the day.
You can't go wrong with our customer favourite, Rose Dew.
Ellie
"Modern bridal looks avoid going too smoky and prefer brighter, fresher eye make up definition. Luminous Cream Shadow is perfect for this, with a delicate veil of sheen that attracts light. I love using 'Champagne', 'Dream' or 'Shell' as the anchor to a soft glam look."
The right tools are also essential for any event makeup. Our all-time must-have brush for eye makeup is our fluffy Blending Brush which works with cream and powder products and makes it so easy to apply them well.
Harriette
For skin prep in the run-up to the wedding, I can’t recommend Superglow Serum enough. Packed with brightening Vitamin C, it quenches and firms the skin ensuring a clear, dewy complexion for the big day."
Consistency is key. Build a routine that works for you and stick with it.
We suggest you avoid new skincare treatments in the couple of months prior to the wedding to avoid any breakouts or sensitisation which may affect your skin health and appearance.
