Winter Wedding Makeup - 4 Things you need to know!

Winter is a season of wonder, and there’s no better way to embrace its magic than by tying the knot amidst sparkling snowflakes (if you're lucky!) and crisp, cool air.

If you're tying the knot this season you may want to follow these 4 Simple Tips to ensure that you make the right beauty choices and look radiant against a winter wonderland backdrop!

Whether you're a dab hand at applying your own makeup or hiring a professional make sure you consider these 4 things.   You'll thank us when you look back on your wedding photos in years to come!

Hydrated Skin: The cold (as well as central heating!) can really dry out skin so always prep with a rich moisturiser and hydrating primer.   One we'd recommend is Bobbi Brown Enriched Face Base or if you're on a budget Primarks dupe "Vitamin Enriched Primer" is pretty damn good too!

Hydrated Lips:  Just like skin - lips can get really dry too, especially if you're outside twice a day to walk your dog!  A challenge for Professional Makeup Artists is applying a matte lipstick to flaky, dry lips! 

Arm yourself with a good lip balm  (preferably with an SPF) and apply regularly.  Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour cream is a winner as well as budget friendly Blistex!

Seasonal Glam: Opt for bold looks like berry red lips, smokey eyes or a shimmery highlighter to compliment winter tones.   

If you're not used to wearing makeup or just unsure what will suit you, a Professional Makeup Artist will always take into consideration your skin tone, your hair colour, whether you've had a spray tan and other elements of your wedding such as the colour of your flowers and bridesmaids dresses.

Long Lasting Products:  Use waterproof mascara and the correct setting spray to ensure that your makeup stays flawless, even in snowy weather! 

We love a hydrating one for a Winter wedding such as Iconic London, Prep Set Go to give you that dewy youthful glow!
