Perfect bridal curls, DIY guide.

A solid blow dry is the secret to any great style and for perfectly sleek and frizz-free curls, make sure you dry the hair smoothly
Remember, the larger the section of hair you tong the looser the curl or wave. For more defined and longer lasting curls tong smaller sections. All curls will drop to some degree so it is best that your curls start tighter so you can afford them to drop slightly, rather than start with loose curs and have them drop out to nothing.
For a long-lasting look, coil up each tonged curl and pin the side of the head until you have your dress on and are ready to go. This allows the hair to cool and essentially sets the style in place.
After tonging, always separate gently (dont pull) the curls once cooled with your fingers. Finish with a fine flexi hold hairspray and a shine spray.

Tips to make your wedding make up last as long as your day.

A good skin care routine is essential for a flawless look, so cleanse thoroughly, tone and moisturise, and allow to dry naturally before you apply your make-up. This will ensure you have a good base for your make-up, and will get a smooth foundation covering.
Make sure you always have clean and dry brushes to apply your make up as any water or oil will make it slide off.
Build up your make up in layers. So after your foundation then apply any concealers or pigment correctors needed. A highlighting concealer under your eyes like YSL touché eclat. A blemish concealer on any spots such as Clinque Anti blemish clearing concealer or Vie at Home's correct and perfect which is a palette with all the concealers in you could ever need. Even a green toned one to reduce redness or rosacia.
Using loose translucent powder lightly over the top gives a lovely shine free and sheer finish. Now you have a fantastic base to apply your eye colours and your blush or bronzer.
To prepare your lips exfoliate them slightly with a tooth brush and lightly moisturise (make sure that you’ve brushed your teeth!) then sweep some translucent powder over.
Always use a lip pencil for definition and to stop your lipstick or gloss for bleeding. Enhance your lip line if needed and also fill in your lips with your liner to act as a base for your gloss. Vie at Home have a fantastic one called 'within limits' it comes in clear or neutral so can match with whatever colour you are going for. Opt for a neutral gloss, to create a natural, timeless look. Keep your liner & gloss with you all day for touch ups.
Now you are ready to create your look for your big day that will last all day & through to the night!
