COVID-19: Help for Brides
Due to the recent COVID-19 lockdown, sadly, weddings are one of the events that are being affected and bridal clients have been left with no other option but to postpone or reschedule their wedding.
We understand that this will be a stressful time for our clients and brides across the globe, so we’d like to offer some advice on how you can prepare a make-up bag full of products to allow you to create your own bridal make-up look.

NARS Radiance Primer SPF30
This product is an oil free, radiance boosting primer that instantly revives dull looking skin.
It adds an instant glow that brightens the skin and prolongs and enhances the look of makeup.
The perfect base to enhance any foundation texture you wear.

Touche Éclat Le Teint SPF 22
A popular request from our clients is a full coverage skin but not for it to look to heavy and it has to give the appearance of a natural glow. This one product does it all!
YSL’s Touche Éclat Le Teint is a full coverage foundation with the illuminating light of Touche Éclat for a radiant complexion. The formula gives a flawless finish whilst providing long-lasting wear.
The Teint is a full coverage foundation and is designed to feel weightless on the skin.
If you would like to sheer down the coverage of the foundation, my favourite brush to use is the MYKITCO 0.23 - My Flawless Face - Large Brush.
The super soft synthetic brush sheers the texture of the foundation by moving the product over the face to allow an even smooth finish to the skin.
A great brush to double up as a contour brush for applying my next product to the contours of the face.

CHANEL Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream
A lightweight cream-gel bronzer with a velvety finish that gives skin a natural sun-kissed glow.
When teaching our professional Academy courses, students can sometimes be scared of using a cream product when contouring.
I think people are so used to using powder products that they assume gels/creams/liquid products may be more difficult or less effective at creating a flawless contour.
This product is excellent and the lightweight texture makes it easy to blend the cream into any texture of foundation. Alongside using the 0.23 My Flawless Face brush the soft fibres sweeps the product into the natural contours of the face.
Illamasqua Colour Veil in shade Frisson
This jelly texture blusher provides a fresh airbrushed effect to the texture of the skin whilst adding a pop of colour to your complexion.
The blusher combines a long-wearing, intense pigment.
I find applying this product with my finger is the easiest way to blend the product onto skin without any caking and its buildable texture allows you to decide how much colour you want to add.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Love Trap
The velvety rich texture makes it easy to apply and creates a seamless line whilst enhancing or reshaping the lip line.
It is long lasting and transfer resistant so perfect for lasting through all the kissing and drinking whilst you celebrate.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Very Victoria
I love this shade as an alternative to the popular pink/peach nude.
The cool tone nude shade compliments the peachy-brown shade of the Love Trap liner to give more of a 90s inspired look.
I’m a fan of how the 90’s are inspiring trends in fashion and make-up at the moment.
