Get Expert AdviceShould I get botox before my wedding day?
I'm considering this even though I've not had botox before. From a makeup perspective is botox a pro or con?
Kerry Howell Makeup
Hi, i would do this four months prior to your wedding and if you like the outcome you can redo this a couple weeks from your wedding day. I would use the same Dr and same amount of botox as you did prior. I would not do this as a first time thing just before your wedding as it is a little tricky to reverse. Kerry
What are important questions to ask potential hair and makeup artists?
What do I need to know about before booking one in for my wedding?
Kerry Howell Makeup
I would have a little check list -
Look at the Easy Wedding photo gallery and select an artist that you like based on the the makeup/hair style images - ensuring this artist has lots of images (this will ensure experience)
Look at the artists reviews
Look at the experience of the artist
Then reach out asking -
Are you available for my wedding day?
If I trial you personally will you be the artist doing my makeup on the day?
Due to unforeseeable circumstance/covid etc if you are unable to do my makeup on the day have you a backup team? (so important)
Is my wedding day deposit transferrable due to unforeseeable cirmstances & if one of my wedding party is unwell last minute do i have to pay for the person not having the service?
(these are tricky questions, though need to be asked)
I hope this helps - you will then have a clear picture of which artist may appeal to you and you connect with. Kerry
What's the best way to reduce bags under my eyes?
I had some photos taken and was shocked at how bad the bags are under my eyes! Will makeup be enough to cover these up for my wedding? What else can I do before the day?
Kerry Howell Makeup
Hi - thanks for your questions always happy to help.
Makeup coverage
- Ensure your primer is "matt" & apply just on the bags or raised areas (not brightening primers on this area, you can use a brightening primer on the remainder of your face if you like this look).
- Ensure your makeup artist uses a darker concealer shade on your bags (dark pushes into the background), or if any blue tones in this area a salmon colour concealer works well
- Ensure the concealer is totally matt (shimmer or oil based concealers will reflect and make this area look larger)
- Use a foundation that is matt for this area - I airbrush this area with a water based airbrushing foundation, this works best for bags or raised areas/acne/rosacia etc
-Powder the bags with a oil blotting powder - MAC has a good oil botting powder whch i use.
When i teach makeup my most used rule -dark receeds and light brings forward (therefore anything you want to hide use darker matt shades, anything you would like brought forward use light & shimmers (eg on top of your cheeck bones, or the bow of the lip use a shimmer or light shades) - this example may help you remember this great makeup rule.
General l information
-drink plenty of water (not dehydrating drinks eg coffee etc), sleep and use a cold compress (this can be anything from cold water on a makeup cotton round puff or the like), dont remove your eyemakeup with hot water, use cold- area leading up to your wedding day.
I wish you all the best on your wedding day & happy to answer anything further you need.
