Get the Look: Vogue Japan Wedding Makeup
The cover of Vogue Japan features a very fresh, simple, fashion forward bride. The makeup look is all about thick winged out eyeliner, framed by beautifully defined brows. To achieve flawless skin first prep with the appropriate skincare. Then use a lightweight illuminating foundation or BB cream to give an all over glow. Contour the cheekbones, and apply a soft pink lip colour.
1. Hourglass Brow Sculpting Pencil 2. Rodial BB Venom Skin Tint 3. Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Honey Mocha 4. Topshop Lipstick in Pillow Talk 5. YSL Shocking Eyeliner Effect Faux Cils

Tip of the Day: Use the Right Size Brush
Switch from your large powder brush to a small soft haired brush when applying powder around the eyes, and nose. Using the right size tool will be far more effective.

Lower Lash Love
Lower false lashes are a tricky thing. Sometimes they can look far too “false” for everyday wear, but when done right they really are cool. I like to use individual pieces rather than a full strip for a doe eyed look.

Tip of the Day: Nude Lip
To achieve the perfect nude lip first neutralize the natural lip colour by dabbing a sponge with concealer in the appropriate skin colour, all over the lips.

Tip of the Day: Skip the Highlight
Switch up your eyeshadow application, instead of using a light shade to highlight the brow blend your medium shade shadow all the way up to the brow bone.
Tip of the Day: Pop of Colour
It might be -3 degrees outside, but the sun is shining here in London. It’s definitely a sunglasses and fur type of day. Brighten up your makeup by switching your black eyeliner for teal as seen here at the Stella McCartney SS13 show.

Party Hair
These 6 hairstyles are among my faves for a night out. I love the undone look of both the Rodarte, and Vera Wang styles, plus the giant hair accessory in the Rodarte image adds an interesting finish. The Valentino top knot with a twist is classic, as is Ciara’s easy blow-out. Ponytails are a good alternative to the traditional up-do. Either the super sleek pony which is tres chic, and gives an instant facelift too, or a fishtail braid for a soft pretty look.
