Enter the world of new possibilities as Wedding Affair gives you tips and tricks from the makeup connoisseurs to help you prep and plan your graceful bridal look.

The Base: Keep your skin looking like skin. This does not mean you don’t make an effort and look undone. It means that no matter what style of makeup you prefer – you should look polished.

If you have dusky skin you will want to use a colour that has a touch of coral because this can brighten and enrich your skin without turning white.

Eyes: I love lashes, it is something that most people overlook for some reason. If you have done your mascara properly to get lush full lashes, then don’t use a dark colour that will camouflage them. Instead, use a bright colour to highlight that fullness you worked so hard on. If you have a difficult time applying your mascara and think you have to use false lashes, try placing a stiff card between the lashes and lid.
