Way back, but, what the heck!: Beauty Writing no.2: Lumine Style Magazine

Just sifting about on my computer and I found this article that I never blogged a while back.
Slightly out of date, but the tips are still relevant as bright lips are always popular!

I recently did a bit of writing for Lumine Style Magazine.  This was at the request of the editor after she had read my blog!! Yay!
The first issue was published online at the beginning of this month. You can find my article on page 29.
But for those of you who don't wish to search, here it is:

My Bride: Blogged!

    

One of my lovely Summer Brides has had her carefully hand-crafted, DIY, vintage-inspired wedding featured on the lovely wedding blog The Ebury Collection.
See the story and beautiful images here: Sophia & James' Chic Vintage Wedding

Sophia looked stunning in her Sassi Holford dress, as did her bridesmaids in their dresses from Coast. I did hair and makeup for Sophia and her 3 bridesmaids, here are some of the images that she sent me...

Hot Vintage Bridesmaid Dress, or 'What should I wear to my trial?'

I had a hair and makeup trial with one of my lovely Winter Brides the other day and although she loved the look, she was having a hard time feeling 'bridal' in her work dress and slippers. 
In order to get into the feel of being 'The Bride' and get to grips with the vintage-inspired hair and glowing makeup we had settled on, I suggested she get changed into something with a similar colour or neck line to her wedding dress. 


Lo and behold, it turned out she had her sister's bridesmaid dress at the house and so she swiftly got changed.
Well all I can say is WOW what a difference that outfit change made!


I've always advised wearing something with a similar neckline to your wedding dress for your trial.  Seeing that extra bit of neck, shoulder and decolletage can really make a difference to how you look, and how you feel about your wedding hair and makeup, especially when the alternative is jeans and a t-shirt!


I just had to write this, not only because it was a great example of how what you wear can really influence how you feel at your trial, but also because the bridesmaids dress in question was absolutely fabulous! 


This picture does not do it justice, but it is gorgeous - very vintage looking with beautiful detailing on the shoulder straps and a lovely golden champagne colour. You wouldn't guess where it's from either - John Lewis! Details below if you would like to track it down to have a closer look, which I'd strongly advise if you're going for a vintage theme to your day.  Dress by John Lewis: Uma Satin Back Crepe Dress

Behind the scenes, Teddington shoot

Oops, well it's been a while since my last post, but it's only because I've been soooo busy! Never a bad thing, so that's certainly not a complaint.

Last month I did quite a lot of photoshoots, and have been getting some of the results back over the last few weeks, which has been very exciting. I can't show all the pictures, as some are going for submission to various places, but I thought I'd share some behind the scenes pics of a shoot I did based in the comfort of my own home! It was lovely not having to lug my kit around and we made use of the lovely day by the river and over the bridge at Teddington Lock. I love the results, and even these images are pretty cool too - looking good unretouched.
Thanks to photographer Jenna Davies for great images and the lovely models from D1.
