Q What’s the secret to keep it all looking “fresh” 10 hours later?
The better condition your skin is in to start with (e.g. hydrated, exfoliated etc.) the more it will glow on your big day.  It also means your foundation will look better and stay on longer. A primer helps the make-up last longer and a good artist will set the make-up with a fine translucent powder, even if you are going for a dewy look. This will ensure that it lasts, especially in hot weather.

Q Are there any must-have products I should carry with me?
Lipstick, lip-liner and a pressed powder compact. Blotting papers are also great to control shine.These should all fit into a small clutch that you can manage, or your chief bridesmaid can carry it for you.

Q Will I look “over-done” in my photos?
If you like the make-up in the mirror you won't look over-done. The amount of make-up a person wears is a personal thing, that's why the trial is important. You must remember that once your hair is done and you’re wearing your gorgeous dress, you can carry off a more glamorous look.

Q What are the hot new looks for makeup this summer?
Fresh looking skin with vibrant pinks and tangerines on the eyes and cheeks. Well done smoky eyes are never out of fashion and stronger more vibrant lips are back.
