At the risk of boring all the good people of Ciao I thought I'd give you all the low down on my make-up I wore for my recent wedding. Here now before you all - I make my promise this will be the... more

    Advantages Advantages Some handy tips for brides-to-be

    Disadvantages Disadvantages For one day only (not day-to-day use)!

    Every girl likes to look her best. But unless you are royalty or a performer, there is only one day where you are guaranteed to be the star attraction … your wedding day! All eyes will be on you. How you look on that one day will be captured in photos and probably take pride of place on your mantelpiece for the rest of your life! Phew, so no pressure then? I got married a few years ago and remember feeling quite stressed that I would look crap on my big day. I have to admit to going stir crazy in the run-up to the big day and putting 200 pounds of make-up on my credit card! Shame on me! I also ... more

    At the risk of boring all the good people of Ciao I thought I'd give you all the low down on my make-up I wore for my recent wedding. Here now before you all - I make my promise this will be the last of my Wedding reviews! •SKIN ¤¤¤¤¤ I started my wedding make-up preparation about 4 weeks before my wedding day! No before you think it was the amount of time for the Poly-Filler to set.... I mean skin preparation. •DETOX I started on a de-tox plan courtesy of Ms Vorderman, to attempt to get my skin as radiant and youthful as I possibly could. I cut out on tea coffee and milk products, and drank ... more

    Advantages Advantages You get a trial run to se in advance what suits you

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    As most of you will probably know by now,I just got married in June, so I've been through all the supposed stress and dilemma's to have the best day of my life...so far! Ok, on the subject of your wedding make up what should you go for? DIY or go to someone or have them come to you? Well, i decided in advance i was going to go to someone to have my make-up done! I phoned around a lot of places in the phone book to find out prices for doing my hair and make-up as well as my bridesmaid's and my mums, and the price ranges were very bizarre i can tell you! It ranged from one shop saying it would ... more

    Advantages Advantages A fantastic service, well worth the money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can't think of any

    Help, I am getting married and not confident of doing my own make-up on the big day. Well, that was my exact worry. What would be worse than turning to my husband to be at the moment I was to say "I Do", knowing I've made such a mess of the make-up and this will be seen on the wedding photo's & video, forever and ever. My solution, (after a tip from my hairdresser) was to try the Body Shop wedding make-up service. I ventured in - feeling quite nervous at the thought of some-one applying make-up to me- what if they applied the most awful colours? Well, the staff could not have been more ... more

    Advantages Advantages You know what you like

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You may feel more stressed

    When I got married I had the dilemma of doing my own makeup or getting a proffesional to do it. There are pros and cons of doing either. A professional may not know what you like, and I find some of them tend to push their products on you that they are trying to sell, but the advantage is that you can feel pampered and relax on your big day and not worry about applying your makeup and know that you look stunning. On the other hand, up till the run up of the wedding I found it better to shop around and test different products until I found what I was happy with, and apply my own makeup. After I ... more
