bridal make-up<\/a>, causing it to melt off your face. Not a good look for your wedding photographs!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
If you have very dry skin, it shouldn\u2019t be too much of an issue, but if you have combination or oily skin \u2013 or at very least a tendency to have any oily t-zone \u2013 I would definitely recommend wearing an oil-free moisturiser if you\u2019re getting married on a hot or humid day. I always recommend a lightweight, hyaluronic acid based moisturiser, as these will hydrate your skin without adding too much oil… Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream is a great option, or REN Clarimatte T-Zone Balancing Gel-Cream.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here are my top five make-up tips to ensure that you remain a glowing (not sweaty) bride!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Prime Prep<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Start with a mattifying primer to absorb any excess oil from your face during the day and to help your foundation to \u2018stick\u2019 to your skin. I really like Max Factor\u2019s \u2018Facefinity All Day Primer\u2019 as it really does help your base to last longer, plus it contains SPF 20 to reduce the risk of sunburn.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Becca \u2018Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector\u2019 is a great choice if your skin is super oily \u2013 just dab sparingly on the t-zone and allow it to dry before applying foundation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All About The Base<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Apply a sheer foundation with a foundation buffing brush and blend with your fingers \u2013 for a hot day, I would recommend an oil-free, water-based formula such as Chanel\u2019 \u2018Vitalumiere Aqua\u2019 or Giorgio Armani \u2018Maestro Fusion Makeup\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Blemish Free<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Use a long lasting, waterproof concealer such as Tarte \u2018Shape Tape\u2019 to hide any shadows under your eyes, and a densely pigmented, slightly matte concealer to hide any blemishes \u2013 NARS \u2018Soft Matte Complete Concealer\u2019 is a good choice.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Powder Time<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Now powder your skin to set your base in place and to prevent any shine \u2013 I\u2019m a big fan of Vichy \u2018Dermablend\u2019 powder, a finely milled, invisible powder that claims to fix your make-up for up to 16 hours. Bourjois \u2018Healthy Balance\u2019 powder is a great budget alternative which comes in a handy compact, but it does contain talc, which can clog the pores if used regularly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Powder is absolutely essential when being photographed, as even the slightest bit of oil on your face might make you appear greasy and shiny in your wedding photos!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Set Your Look<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Finally, close your eyes and mist a setting spray lightly all over your face and eyelids to fix everything in place \u2013 there\u2019s quite a few on the market but Urban Decay \u2018All Nighter\u2019 make-up setting spray is my personal favourite.<\/p>\n
