Perfect make-up for beautiful brides
The last thing you want to worry about on your Big Day is your make-up, so leave nothing to chance and consult the experts behind your favourite range
You're getting married and want to look your most beautiful on the day - but where do you turn for help and advice? Creating a beauty look that will stand the test of time in your photographs can be a daunting prospect, so you've probably either considered hiring a make-up artist to transform you into a vision of loveliness, or even buying a few new cosmetics (any excuse!) and giving it a go yourself.
If your budget is tight and you've decided on the latter, head for your nearest department store and enquire at the cosmetics counters about a bridal consultation. Most companies now offer these, and you will be shown some great techniques and insider tricks - usually by a professional make-up artist - thus enabling you to feel much more confident about applying your own make-up on the Big Day.

Estée LauderEstée Lauder recognises that a woman's wedding day is one of the most important days of her life, so to help her look and feel perfect on the big day, they offer a tailor-made step-by-step Bridal Beauty Programme. Available at selected counters nationwide and beginning long before the wedding day, this complimentary service consists of three consultations, encompassing everything from skincare regimes and picture-perfect bridal looks, to suncare advice and beauty tips for the honeymoon and beyond. The Programme helps the bride-to-be not only prepare herself for the wedding, but also guides her through the busy and often stressful period beforehand. Estée Lauder offer a wide range of foundation shades and textures to suit both Asian and coloured skintones.
Max Factor
For personalised advice on wedding day beauty, Max Factor offers complimentary wedding day make-up consultations and makeovers, which are available at Max Factor counters in major Boots stores (subject to availability). Simply take pictures and swatches of the wedding and bridesmaids's dresses, the venue, and your hair and flower ideas along to your consultation, so the Max Factor make-up artist can develop the perfect wedding day look for you. If you are a woman of colour, you'll be pleased to know that Colour Adapt foundation is available in 11 shades including shades that are great for black and Asian skin.
