Catwalk Ready Wedding Make-Up

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.

As part of their wedding fair, I was involved with the wedding fashion show at the beautiful wedding venue, The Roxburghe Hotel, Edinburgh. This hotel is situated in the ideal city centre location of George Street.

As the hotel’s preferred make-up artist, I was asked to also do the make-up for the wedding fashion show.

What was the inspiration for the fashion show make-up?

For the make-up, I wanted to incorporate some classic make-up looks for the bride, bridesmaid and mother-of-the-bride.

For our first model, Julie, I created a classic look of eyeliner & false lashes coupled with a beautiful matte orange-red lip and glowing skin, which complemented both Julie’s colouring and the dresses beautifully.

This is such a classic bridal make-up look that never goes out of fashion, and ensures all eyes are on the bride for her special day.

For our second model, Eilidh, we went with a gold and brown blend on the eye, coupled with a dusky pink lip. Complementing this look with a glowing, dewy skin finish.

This is such a versatile wedding make-up look, which can suit not only a bride looking for a more natural make-up look, but also a bridesmaid or mother-of-the-bride.

For our third model, Catherine, I created a warm gold, bronze and brown smokey eye with a neutral pink lip, completing the look with glowing, dewy skin.

This is a look that works very well for both the bride and bridesmaid, and also a more adventurous mother-of-the-bride!
