Phew.  I have just got back from Birmingham after doing an event there and I am still recovering from the National Wedding Show, at which I shared a stand with Errol Douglas, and that was non-stop.  I was doing VIP makeovers as well as doing on stage looks and answering questions on our stand.  We kept having to race around from the main stage back to our stand to answer questions – I ran miles!
It’s a lovely time to be a bride!  Spring is a time of year traditionally associated with weddings, and although the horrible weather at the moment makes it feel like midwinter, Spring is on the way (thank goodness!)  And also with all these celebrity marriages falling apart left right and centre it’s important for us all to feel and look optimistic about love in the Springtime!
The look for Spring is a fusion of sexy and fresh. Combining the two is very interesting and very beautiful, with smokey browns on the eyes and peachy cheeks and lips.
A peachy blush is big this season and will keep your look innocent.
First perfect your complexion so that it is velvety looking, not too matte and not too shiny.
Next define the brows. Now create a brown, not a black smokey eye look – very Tom Ford for Estee Lauder this Spring. Lashings of dark brown waterproof mascara keep it soft and sexy. A flush of peach or apricot blush on the apples of the cheeks give the look an innocent feeling, so right for modern brides. A touch of shimmer under the arch of the brows and along the tops of the cheekbones lifts the face, and a peachy/apricot glossy lip completes this alluring look.  And there you have it;  the perfect Spring bride.
Love,
