It’s the one day in your life when make-up is non-negotiable because the camera demands it. But a really successful bridal make-up is more about high performance cosmetics and good application skills than layering on lots of colour. The following eight treasures were made for the job
By Terry Sexy Pink Terrybly Densiliss Blush – a powder blusher which is so soft it’s like cream and gives cheekbones a wonderfully healthy polished iridescence. £52, from spacenk.com
B Brow Bar Cinnamon Spice Blink Brow Pen – a felt-tipped pen which delivers subtle colour to fill gaps and extend a brow tail; suits most hair colours. £18, from blinkbrowbar.com
Guerlain Cils d’Enfer Maxi Lash Mascara – creamy enough to define with one coat, and with impressive tenacity. Shade Brun, softer than Noir, is best for brides. £29, from houseoffraser.co.uk
Face Stockholm Creme Eyeshadow – in neutral brow and lid-lighting shades Siden and Linne, these give a gentle colour wash but good camera definition. £18 each from myshowcase.com
Tom Ford Lust Lip Colour Shine – the perfect marriage of condition and colour, this keeps lips supple and is rich enough in pigment to make the colour last well. £37 from houseoffraser.com
Chanel Beige Rose Le Vernis Nail Colour – the perfect bridal pink: soft, feminine and with a hint of pearlescence. £18 from johnlewis.com
Shu Uemura Soft Cross False Eyelashes – as good as false lashes get, these add presence to natural lashes but don’t over power the eyes or your entire face. £16 from spacenk.com
Bobbi Brown CC Cream – an amazingly flattering face base, this gives skin a smooth, even, demi-matt finish. Shade Warm Nude is best for pale skins. £29 from johnlewis.com
