DON’T go overboard with highlighter: Light reflecting particles in highlighter products do exactly that – so care needs to be taken not to overdo it when you are having your professional photographs taken.
 
DO try strip false lashes: Your wedding day is the perfect day to maximise the beauty of your peepers. Strip false lashes will enhance your eyes, giving them that extra pop and appearance of being bigger, particularly in front of the camera. However, don't wait until the wedding day to trial them, try them out in advance and at the trial, just to make sure you are used to wearing them come the big day.
 
DON’T sit in silence: You’ve had your make-up trial and you’re not sure about something… Then just tell your make-up artist. A good artist will not be offended and they will be more than happy to make any tweaks to get that perfect bridal look. This is what the trial is all about, and so is the perfect forum for making any changes.

DO have inspiration pictures: This really helps the make-up artist understand your vision and also what you like (and don’t like). Bring along magazine clippings and/or a Pinterest board of all the things that you love.
 
DO be careful having friends or family do your make-up: You won’t mind telling a professional make-up artist that you don’t like something, and you won’t offend them. I have seen this on many occasion, and it’s so difficult to tell a friend or family member that you don’t like something. However, a professional will know what products perform the best and work in front of the camera.
 
DON'T forget your eyebrows: Eyebrows are very popular at the moment and it’s not surprising, as they frame your eyes and face, and really help complete the look. So fill in your brows to give them a natural, full shape.
 
DO
opt for waterproof mascara: If there is any day with guaranteed waterworks, it’s your wedding day. From stepping onto the aisle, to the speeches, to your first dance as Mr and Mrs, there are bound to be tears of joy a-flowing. However, your make-up doesn’t have to be!


If you are looking for a beautiful, naturally glowing look that will last all day & evening, and look great both in front of the camera lens and your guests, then it might be an idea to consider booking a professional make-up artist. If you would like to do your own makeup, you could have a bridal tutorial to learn some top make-up tips and product advice, whilst creating together your perfect bridal makeup look.

My Top 3 Highlighters!

13/5/2016

​There is nothing quite like a good highlighter to give you that youthful, healthy, sun-kissed radiance – it really can take years off of you!
 
For anyone who is looking for an immediate pick-me-up for their skin, and not sure where to start, then keep reading to learn how give yourself that sun-kissed look without the sun!
 
So I am bringing you, not one, but three of my favourite highlighter make-up products that I reach for the most at the moment and just cannot live without! 

All three can be placed onto the high points of the face, where the sun would naturally hit, such as the bridge of the nose, brow bone, cheekbones and cupid’s bow.
 
I have placed all three products on the skin, and they are numbered 1-3 below.

Picture
1. Mac Mineralize Skinfinish ‘Soft & Gentle’
Even if the sun is refusing to play ball with us, you can still get that summery sun-kissed glow with one of my fav powder highlighters - Mac Mineralize Skinfinish 'Soft & Gentle'.

Mac Mineralize Skinfinish 'Soft & Gentle', £24.00rrp
​This is a luxurious shimmery powder with a 77-Mineral Complex and Vitamin E, which adds highlights to both the face and body.

​A little goes a long way with this product! Therefore, less is more when applying it to the skin, and you should ensure it is well blended to give a natural, glowing finish to the skin. This product comes in a variety of shades, but I find ‘Soft & Gentle’ to be the perfect shade, as it suits most skin tones.​

​One of the best brushes to apply powder highlighter with is the angled blush/contour brush.

If you do not have this brush in your makeup bag, then I would highly recommend it!

​As it is great for applying not just highlighter, but also powder blusher [the clue is in the name!], as well as powder contouring products.

In addition to placing this lovely powder highlighter on bridge of the nose, brow bone, cheekbones and cupid’s bow, I often place it on the inner corners of the eye and even on the eyelid for some added shimmer. It is such a fab, flexible product - I love it!
​2. Illamasqua​ Gleam
​Illamasqua​'s Gleam works wonders for achieving a healthy, summer glow.

This is a light, shimmery cream highlighter, which subtly reflects the light, illuminating your skin. It contains ingredients such as skin boosting Vitamin E and Mica Mineral.

This cream highlighter works perfectly under foundation and is applied after your moisturiser. It can also be used on the body for added shimmer and glow.
​

Illamasqua Gleam, 'Aurora', £22.00rrp
​It can be a little tricky to apply due to its thick consistency and highly pigmented & shimmery formulation.

Therefore, I find the best way to apply it is by buffing it on the back of your hand first with a flat foundation brush and then apply it to the skin with the brush.

Girl Meets Brush Foundation Brush, £10.95

This highlighter comes in two shades, 'Aurora' and 'Supernatural'. I would recommend the Aurora shade for pally wally skin like mine, and Supernatural for darker complexions.
3. Mac Strobe Cream  
​Mac’s Strobe Cream is a moisturising cream, which contains iridescent particles that illuminate the skin, giving it a beautiful, subtle pink shimmer. It also contains nourishing vitamins and antioxidants.  Compared to Illamasqua's Gleam and Mac's Mineralize Skinfinish 'Soft & Gentle', the Strobe Cream gives more of a dewy finish versus a sun-kissed glow, due to its pink colour.

​Similar to Illamasqua’s Gleam, it too can be placed under your foundation using a flat foundation brush, and after your moisturiser.

These are must-have highlighter products for your make-up bag this summer!
 
Have fun getting your shimmer on!
