Wedding 2013 vol 1

The runways of Chanel and Gucci, and celebrity fashionistas like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez are setting this season's bridal makeup trends. This season traditional looks are giving way to bold and daring make-up (who doesn’t want a J-Lo glow?!).

This season's brides are calling for flawless, glowing skin for their dream day. Airbrush makeup is cutting edge technology and in high demand. It's the easiest way to create a perfect complexion. A lightweight alternative to a traditional foundation, it has outstanding, long lasting results and feels like you are wearinwearing nothing at all, apart from your fabulous white gown that is. Airbrushing gives you the flexibility to build the coverage, contour and sculpt. Good coverage that looks and feels natural is not only appealing to make-up artists, but to brides as well.

Move over diamonds, this season falsies are a girl's best friend! Whether you choose strip lashes or lash extensions, they add a classic elegance to any look. Lashes have come a long way over they years, are very lightweight and flexible and are often made from natural hairs such as mink.

More and more brides want sexy smokey eyes for their wedding. There are many variations of the ttraditional black and grey smokey eye. For a less dramatic effect, go with golds, bronzes and deep browns for a softer finish that still delivers that glam factor.

We are seeing two types of lips this season: bold blood-red and cranberry lips in matte finishes and the “just bitten” natural look. Lip stains are hot this season, goopy glossy lips are not.

Whether you're going for a vintage Hollywood look or want a sun-kissed golden goddess, make sure to do a trial run with your make-up artist for the best results.
