The Wedding season is quickly approaching!
As I am getting older so are my friends and family obviously, everyone is getting to the age where weddings are being planned and prepped and invites are flying through the letterbox!
I've come up with a list to get you through the season with minimal spending but maximum fun and glamour!
First up...
Shoes:
The most versatile and flatting heel are nude. They will go with essentially absolutely everything and they will give the allusion of a longer leg. My preference in a pointed stiletto - I think the point is very chic- WARNING pointed heels can result in slightly numb toes.
However there is nothing wrong with a open toe, round toe or platform heel, they will all work well with most outfits and extend the look of your leg. DOUBLE WIN.
Some recommendations are:
Asos Pointed Heels £30 with Lace details
Clutch Bag:
Again Nude is always a safe bet, however if you pre plan your outfits buying a silver or gold clutch can go with most and also add a touch of sparkle. However, at the hologram bags are perfect and so on trend at the moment. I prefer oversized clutch bags as I like to bring the world share of tissues for the ceremony and some makeup for retouching throughout the day.
Pink Hologram £15 ASOS
Hologram Clutch £15 ASOS
Make Up:
Whether your a guest or the bride the one thing you want from your makeup on a long day like a wedding is staying powers so i've rustled up a few makeup must haves for your wedding makeup selection which will get you through the big day with minimum effort and worry resulting in maximum enjoyment.
Lips:
These Bourjois Rouge edition Velvet lipsticks are fantastic!!
They're only £8.99 and have recently extended there colour pallet. The Hot Pepper Red is beautifully bright with an orangey tint and works really will with most skin tones. They have extended there nude collection which is perfect for the Bride as they don't transfer so kissing your new hubby all day A'OK!
Face:
This concealer is the brilliant as I've mentioned in previous High Street Beauty Haul is so long lasting, its none transferable and is fantastic for blemishes and in a lighter tone under the eye and a brightener. Its on sale in Boots at the moment from £4.19 down to £3.99 its a no brainer!!
Eyes:
These cream stick eye shadows are great, there are loads of gorgeous ones on the market at the moment especially in the high end spectrum, the By Terry shadow sticks are a fav! However for the less bank breaking fee of just £4.49 I would say these Rimmel Shadow sticks are just as great! They are long lasting and have high pigmentation and require little effort and have a range of 8 different colours in the range. At the moment and they are on 3 for 2 so its a crime not to snap your favourite shades up now!!
Tools:
This Real Techniques Mini Brush Set obviously isn't for the general and initial application of your makeup but they are so handy, the perfect hand/clutch bag size and give you most tools you need to retouching your makeup throughout the day. They are also so affordable at only £9.99!
I hope this was helpful for your up and coming wedding prep, if you have more than one it can become pretty pricey and get a little stressful which we certainly don't want it to be. Weddings are a celebration of love and a coming together of families and happiness so anything that can be done to lower the stress levels is a bonus, nay?
Thats all for now beauties!
Send me your pictures of your wedding buys and finished outfits throughout the summer I'd love any inspo!!
Let me know if i've missed anything you think is a must have?
Mucho Love,
Liv
