A top make-up artist has issued a warning over the main mistakes brides make on the big day. Weddings can cost a fortune, from your outfit to the venue to the food to the transport to the favours - you get the point - and they're not getting any cheaper. According to Hodge Bank , w eddings now costing on average more than £20k in the UK, with many couples looking at how they can keep costs down.
Because of this, it can be a challenge deciding on whether to get a professional make up artist (MUA) or do your own make-up on your big day. However, with the right tips, DIY could be the best way forward at looking your best while still keeping costs down. To help people do just that, professional make up artist, Wayne Goss , who has over four million YouTube subscribers and his own line, has shared five ways to give yourself an unforgettable makeup look.
1. Use milk of magnesia to avoid oily skin If you suffer from oily skin, using an "extremely thin coat of milk of magnesia" can help prevent this. And it could even help to combat tears on what will be an emotional day.
Goss says: "Putting some under your make-up will ensure that your make-up lasts all day, as it’ll help absorb any oils on your face. However, you don’t want to use this all the time – just on very special events such as your wedding as it could dry your skin out when overused.” 2.
Keep your make-up as natural as possible Don't go overboard, he warns. Less is more when it comes to your wedding day make-up. H.
