8 Best Bridal Beauty Tips From The Experts

1. “Have a beauty routine! And get it into your normal everyday life as soon as you can. This means finding products that works for you and sticking to them.” — Amy Chan at Amy Chan Hair & Makeup Artistry

2. “Choose a hair and make up look that bests represent YOU, not a model or celebrity that you have seen in a magazine. Or, if when looking for inspiration in magazines, try to choose a model with your skin tone/hair colour and similar features. This way you will not be disappointed when you look different to the photo you have shown your stylist at your trial.” — Susana Calvo at Glam Van

3. “If you want to wear a bold red lip, layer a cherry-coloured lip stain beneath your lip liner and lipstick. When the lipstick wears away you’ll still have red lips.” — Simone Iredale at Agents of Beauty

4. “A great set of natural length false lashes will put the finishing touch on your eye makeup and really emphasise the eyes.” — Kim McGann at Blush Brides

5. “When looking at hairstyles in magazines keep in mind that the style has to last you the whole day. Don’t pick anything that’s too loose or something that you have to worry about constantly.” — Alana Dunphy at Prema Salon

6. “It’s important to use loose translucent powder. It will set your makeup and minimise shine. If the skin has shine it will emphasise lines and wrinkles.” — Chris King for Arbonne Cosmetics

7. “To ensure beautiful, radiant skin (with staying power!) on your special day, it’s imperative that you prep the skin well. Primers are designed to not only increase the longevity of your makeup but they will also help smooth and even out the surface of your skin. Priming is especially important for spring/summer brides as the Australian climate can cause foundations to slip.” — Nicola Snell at Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics

8. “Have a trial for both hair and makeup — that is very important — and try different styles. Be on the same wavelength as your hairdresser. Make sure they know your hair and you trust them.” — Nadia Trowsdlae at House of Caj
