JANICE'S WEDDING BEAUTY TIPS

MAKEUP
If you don't usually wear makeup don't feel that you have to go all out on your wedding day. You want to look fresh and radiant and still feel like you.

After your makeup trial leave the makeup on for a couple of hours to get used to the look and make sure you’re really happy.

If you’re thinking of wearing fake tan have a dry run with your beauty therapist beforehand to make sure you’re happy with the result. There’s nothing worse than a streaky tan!

SKINCARE
Think well in advance about caring for your skin before the big day. Use a gentle exfoliator regularly and keep your skin hydrated with regular facials. You should cut back on alcohol and try to get plenty of sleep in the run up to the wedding.

HAIR
If you’re wearing your hair up for the wedding day wash it the night before. It will be much easier to put up and the style will hold better.

If you have highlights in your hair and want to wear your hair up remember to think about how the highlights will look as you don’t want to end up with a stripy look.

Remember to spray a little perfume in your hair on your wedding day as it will last much longer.

Above all enjoy the pampering and have a lovely wedding day!

In addition to bridal hair and makeup services Final Touches also offer a range of handmade tiaras and headdresses. To arrange a consultation and to view their online portfolio visit www.finaltouches.org
