Q&A Fashion & Beauty

Berkshire-based businesses The Bridal Dress Company and De Vere Wokefield Estate collaborated with other talented suppliers to showcase this fashionable shoot

We speak to the make-up artist, Rowenna who worked on this shoot. She tells us, “The look created was a timeless classic style with a modern twist focusing, and drawing attention to the model’s eyes. I wanted them to stand out, keeping the other elements of the make-up natural and soft.”

Rowenna continues, “To achieve a darker eye that naturally compliments your features, blend a smokey dark shade into the crease of your eyelids and under your bottom lashes which will give a wider and brighter look, making them pop. Use an eye pencil along the bottom lash line, blending it to create a soft-focused look without appearing too overdone.”

Often, wedding photography is captured outside to benefit from the natural light which means that sometimes a heavy base can cause the make-up to appear too obvious. Rowenna suggests, “To create glowing skin without the flash reflecting from the camera, apply fine translucent powder along the T-zone and avoid layering too much make-up to the face.”
