You’ve been planning your perfect wedding for many months searching for your perfect dress, accessories, flowers and your wedding photographer to capture your full beauty.  But there are just a couple more things essential to bring it all together; your hair styling and your make-up.

Choosing good make-up should be a priority to compliment your dress and look fantastic in your wedding photography. Beauty trends change with the fashion. It’s best to go for a timeless look that won’t look out-dated in your wedding album in the future.

Using good quality make-up should be long-wearing products to look best in your wedding photography.

Top ten beauty tips

1. Flash photography emphasizes pink tones, so be sure to even out skin with a yellow-toned foundation. Start around the nose and mouth where there’s redness, then blend out to the rest of the face.

2. Set concealer and foundation with sheer-finish loose powder to make them longer-lasting and to ensure that skin doesn’t shine in pictures.

3. If your dress has an open neckline, be sure to warm up your neck and chest with a dusting of bronzing powder.

4. Even if you think you won’t cry, chances are you will. Use a water-resistant eye-liner that can withstand tears. Try Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eye-liner applied with the Ultra Fine Liner Brush. If you prefer to line with shadow, make it longer-lasting by applying it with a slightly damp eye-liner brush. Finish with a water-resistant mascara like Bobbie Brown Lash Glamour.

6. For a pretty flush that lasts, use two shades of blush. First, apply a neutral shade on the apples of cheeks, blending up into the hairline, then downward for a softer look. Then apply a brighter shade just on the apples of the cheeks.

7.  Neutral and pale lip colours look washed out in photographs, so choose a lipstick that’s one to two shades brighter than what you normally wear. Pinks, roses and plums are great choices for brides.

8. To make sure your lip colour lasts longer, line and fill in lips with a neutral lip pencil before applying your lipstick.

9. Carry a touch-up kit with concealer, pressed powder, lipstick or gloss, lip liner, tissues and mints. Also, make sure you have a mini sewing kit (for emergency clothing fixes like a dropped hem or popped button), static spray, a lint remover and pre-wrapped wipes to remove make-up and food stains.

10. It’s your big day. Take a deep breath and have fun!
