When you’re walking down the aisle, you really desire Makeup to be flawless. Professional Bridal Makeup Artist Isabelle Roberts of Makeup By Isabelle reveals the hottest tips for our 2010 brides.
Elegance. This is the key word for Brides. As a Bride you need to be brave and steer away from the natural look. The natural look always points towards a washed-out looking bride on her photographs. You need to start thinking grown-up beauty with a touch of glamour. Be brave!
There are many magic rules all Brides in the know can follow. Steer clear from the old myth of playing up either the eyes or the lips. You are one complete canvas and with clever techniques and a bespoke colour pallet, your entire makeup look will flawlessly seam together.
It’s all about definition. Sheer, pretty shadows teamed with a heavier lash line is both pretty and emphasising. You really don’t need 6 colours of eyeshadow and complex application. By choosing complimentary colours like pinks and silvers and peaches and creams, you are allowing the colours to do all the work for you. Add a little light-reflecting eyeshadow shimmer and your look is modern and fresh for that bright doe-eyed look!
Isabelle recommends making use of all the wonderful lash products on the market. Individual lashes can do so much to open up your eyes. By applying a few on the outside of your own lash line they will lift and open up the eye in an instant! There are also some amazing false lash effect mascaras out there that do just the trick. Concentrate on those outer lashes and comb between applications and you will literally flutter down that aisle!
For Liners, go for a soft and sooty black. Brown is dulling and can actually make you appear tired and sallow. Liquid liner can also be harsh and can look far too trendy and young on camera. You require your eyes to have a beautiful soft focus look to them so think smudgy.
For lips, they are glossy and sheer with a pop of colour. Your lips don’t need to be bright. It’s all about testing colours that will suit you and link to your look. One pro tip is to avoid all the long wear lip products out there. They tend to be drying and will flake over time. Sadly, re-applying your lip colour throughout the day is the only answer for beautiful plump lips. So keep your lipstick handy in your little bridal bag!
Brides are experimenting with colour and why not! One fabulous way to use colour is on the cheeks. There are some ultra pretty and feminine cheek products out there. Isabelle recommends using a cream blush to define your cheeks and finish off with a powder blush with a little shimmer to really give your cheeks that beautiful bridal flush. Combining the two products will prove a longer lasting colour and definition to the cheek. Colours that are beautiful are peaches and antique rose pinks. Try not to go for baby pinks which can make you look far too flushed. Think pretty and natural for that “pinch your cheeks” flush.
There are many wonderful products out there to be explored. Over her many years as a Bridal Makeup Artist Isabelle has discovered many brides feel overwhelmed with makeup choices. Isabelle always recommends her brides gather up inspirational photographs and colour swatches and bring them along for a makeup master class. Masterclasses advise you on colour and products to suit you individually and avoid you spending hundreds of pounds on products you may never use again. By gathering the information together, you will have a clearer idea of how you want to look on the say and not feel so bogged down by
the science of makeup!
So when it comes to planning your fabulous entrance, make sure you do it with confidence and glamour. Think colour, shimmer and fluttery lashes. Most importantly, be brave!

Choosing lingerie for the wedding night
Your wedding is said to be the most perfect day of your life, but what people fail to mention is that it should be the best night of your life too. It is important that your wedding night is just as special to you as the wedding itself. Most brides-to-be spend hours, days and even weeks searching for that perfect wedding dress, but neglect wedding lingerie. For the night to be as memorable as you want it to be, you need to feel and look like a goddess. Getting the right wedding night lingerie is an important part of making you feel a million dollars.
Every woman can find gorgeous lingerie that will make her feel beautiful and sexy. It is important not to rush when buying wedding lingerie. Many soon to be brides make a mad dash to the shops to find perfect lingerie, but come back disappointed. Wedding lingerie needs to be sexy, yet classy and elegant at the same time. You need to start looking for lingerie about a month in advance of your wedding.
Don`t go for lingerie that you will not feel comfortable in. You should feel proud, not embarrassed when you reveal your wedding lingerie for the first time so make sure you can imagine yourself wearing the items. Think about the material of your lingerie. Any items made from silk or satin will feel great against your skin and are bound to please your new husband. If you are feeling daring, go for something see through to get his pulse racing. If you are conscious of your figure go for items that combine cotton with sheer material. This will tease your husband and help you to cover up the bits you are less happy to reveal.
It is essential that you choose lingerie to flatter your body type. Many people pick wedding night lingerie without even considering whether it is right for their shape and size. You need to think what your best features are and play up to them. If you love your legs but hate your tummy, get yourself an empire waisted baby doll dress. This will accentuate your legs and disguise a wobbly tummy. A corset is a great option for all body types. However, it flatters women with athletic bodies in particular, as it creates seductive curves you never knew you had.
Remember to think about accessories. You may want a pair of stiletto heels to make your new husband go wild. Lacy suspenders are also a popular choice combined with sexy stockings.
When picking wedding night lingerie, go for a well known brand. This will ensure the pieces are well made and materials are of high quality. Alternatively go for a celebrity brand of lingerie. There are many available that provide stunningly beautiful, high quality items. For example, the Elle Macpherson intimates collection contains many luxurious items that would be perfect for the special night. In particular, the Boudoir selection will help give you and your new husband a night you will always remember.
