Q2. - What make up look is best for my
Wedding Day?
Answer - Every makeup is individualized
to meet your requirements, however, makeup for the bride is usually best
when it is soft and feminine.
- Some brides have themed weddings and will need make-up to match
with the theme they have chosen.
- It is important to be really open and honest about what you like
and don't like and this is discussed before the makeup trial
and also on the day of the trial.

Q3. - I am starting to be pressured
and I don't know what to do about the situation.
Answer - To make your wedding day one of
the most special days of your life there is much to consider.
- My Mother, bridesmaids and my future Mother-in-law all want to be
present when I have my trial makeup done. I am starting to be pressured
and I don't know what to do about the situation. I know that they love
me but I need to relax.
- If you want your wedding makeup trial date to be relaxing and have
it to yourself so that you alone can decide what you like, then just
let everyone know that you understand that they love you as you love
them. Then you can say that you need some "me" time so that you can
truly relax. Jokingly let them know that you really do not want to
turn into a " Bridezilla" from stress building up as the countdown
to your wedding day happens.
- Another option is to limit the people who are present during the
trial. You may want to have a special time with your Mother? Or with
your best friend?
This may be fine, especially if they also want a trial makeup done
on the day you are having yours.
From experience, having a group of people present when you are having your
trial can lead to confusion and frustration for the bride because everyone
has different likes and dislikes which are usually based on their requirements
for their own makeup. The final decision is yours, so make sure that you
will be relaxed and able to ask questions or makeup requests on the makeup
rehearsal day.

Q4 - What makeup is best for photographs?
Answer - The style and design (colours)
need to be more intense than for everyday appearance due to the effects
of lighting. The face can be drained of colour by a high percentage leaving
you looking washed out. Also, the use of glitter or shimmer may show
up as a " flare" on the finished photograph.

Q5 - My eyebrows and eyelashes are so
fair that I wonder about whether or not to get them tinted?
Answer - Tinting eyebrows and eyelashes
about 5 days before your wedding day is a good idea as tinted lashes
will intensify the look of your eyes and your eyebrows frame your eyes.
- Please trial having your tints done a few months before your wedding
to ensure that you do not have a reaction to the dyes used.
- Also, ask friends and workmates if they have had tinting done and
do did the job for them. It is advisable to get them done by a trained
beauty therapist as you want a safe experience a nd a great result.
- Tinting your eyelashes and brows will mean that you have a good look
whilst on your honeymoon and won't need to use mascara or eyebrow pencil
throughout the day.

Q6 - How far in advance of my wedding
day should I start a good skincare routine?
Answer - You really need to start paying
extra attention to your skincare routine at least six months prior to
your big day.
- Cleanse
- Tone
- Moisturise
- Eye Cream: morning and night
- Exfoliate at least once per week: including your lips
- Deep pore cleansing mask at least once per week but not on the same
day as you exfoliate
Note: remember to also exfoliate and moisturise your elbows ,feet, hands,
legs and shoulders. These areas of your body may be on show depending
on the style of your wedding dress.
The end of your working week is a good night to pamper yourself with
the beauty routine for your body.
Sleep and diet
Remember that the beauty of your skin does not just depend on the external
skin care products you use. Consider drinking at least two liters of
water every day.
- Limit alcohol which can dehydrate even the youngest looking
skin.
- Eat plenty of green vegetables.
- Eat at least 30 - 35 gm's of fibre from food daily.
- Use a tasteless fibre supplement if you have trouble eating the amount
of fibre you need daily. Benefiber from the supermarket can be added
to drinks and cooking..
- Boiled water with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice taken before breakfast
will also help your liver to keep you healthy and your skin glowing..
Apart from the drinking lots of water and eating healthy food
there is nothing better for the beauty of your skin than a great sleeping
pattern.
You must take all makeup off before going to bed no matter how exhausted
you feel as leaving it on ages the skin quite drastically.

Q7 - Will I need to have any beauty
products with me on my wedding day?
Answer - Yes, it is a good idea to have
a lip liner, lipstick, a clear lip polish and possibly a compressed translucent
powder. However, when makeup is applied correctly it will stay put even
in hot weather. Lipstick is the one item that will need to be touched
up after you have been eating all that delicious food you have organised
for your wedding reception.
- Also, consider a small tube of toothpaste and toothbrush and / or
Breath Freshener.

Q8 - What cosmetics do you use?
Answer - Like most people in Makeup Artistry
I have many " little gem" items of makeup and skin care in my makeup
trolley. However, I do prefer to use botanically based Arbonne
skin care and cosmetics which are finely milled, stay on really well
and come in lovely colour combinations.
I also use Kryolan and Ella Bache
