The Wedding Season… romantic bliss? Or a confirmation of your single status?
Well whatever your RSVP says we’ve got a plus one that has no holdbacks….
1. PREP: The best way to beat the heat is to scotch guard your face. No not literally, but wearing a primer or base under your makeup is the sure-fire way to make it stay. The base used on the model is ‘Le Blanc de Chanel Sheer Illuminating Base’ by Chanel. However, a great high-street alternative is ‘Photoready perfecting primer’ by Revlon.

Wedding Season Skin making the Dewy Durable
Maid Closer’s answer to surviving the Summer Wedding Season with Olivia Worthington.
So you’ve found the perfect dress, a floral number, something summery yet sophisticated, long enough for the church and short enough for the groomsmen. But now comes the second problem, how to wear your makeup in a way that looks fresh faced and flawless during the day, yet smouldering when the suns gone down.
So how is it done? How do we make dewy durable?
Well here’s how in three simple P’s:
2. PRECISION: Nobody wants to be the one to miss out on the action because they are too busy in the bathroom layering on their evening look. So keep it simple. All you need to transform a look from day to night is a flick of liner on the top of your eye lid, and to pucker up your pout with a nude lipstick in exchange for your lip gloss.
3. PACKING: Pack light, with your primer in place you will not need to re-touch your foundation. With a few small staples you can take this look from the church, to the champagne, right through to the Karaoke classics. All you’ll need is: powder, eye liner, lipstick, and blush... definitely still enough space in there for a room key and a few girlie safety measures.
So there it is, all you need is to remember the three P’s to enjoy the wedding season fancy-free…
TIP: use a cream blush on top of the foundation and to set this in place with a powder blush over the top; this will add depth to the colour of your cheeks.
