Bridal Beauty Trends 2018

It was lovely to be asked to contribute towards a Bride Magazine article  this month, here is the article and links !!

Key trends in bridal hair, make-up and skincare for the year ahead.

For those getting married this year, there are an overwhelming amount of decisions to make. It is easy to get swept up in the big decisions such as the venue, dress and guest list without giving your hair and make-up a second thought. It is therefore essential that your beauty choices are made early on, so that this important consideration comes off your to-do list.

Don’t let Makeup and Hair styling get caught up in the overload of tasks that wedding planning always brings!

Consulting with the professionals in person, will help you swiftly settle that final decision when it comes to your bridal hair and make-up ‘Look’.

Here follows a helpful overview of the key trends that brides will embrace this year.

Hair

While we are seeing drastic cuts and daring colours taking the fashion industry by storm, the world of weddings will forever remain more sheltered. Timeless and classic hairstyles will always have their place, but more modern interpretations serve to bring brides up to date.

New York Bridal Fashion Week is a good place to turn for inspiration and the spring and fall shows for 2018 give us a good indication of what to expect this year.

Spring and summer will invite structured plaited up-dos adorned with flowers and embellishments – akin to those featured at Ines Di Santo, super shiny volume such as that at Reem Acra, low chignons as seen at Peter Langner, and perhaps the emergence of crimped texture à la Jenny Packham.

Autumn will bring soft waves and deconstructed curls in abundance, as previewed at the Pronovias show, and bold top-knots may even reign supreme, as spotted on the Ines Di Santo catwalk. The gypsophila crowns that featured at Reem Acra showcase the continuing popularity of floral garlands, a trend that extends to the floral patterns now seen on wedding dresses.

Bridal hair specialist, Amy Lopez of Yorkshire-based hairdressing group, Westrow, comments on how to get the most out of the floral trend: “Bridal Fashion Week 2018 was awash with dresses embellished with three-dimensional flowers. This fresh take on floral should be complemented with a hairstyle that is equally modern and pretty. A low bun at the nape of the neck is simple enough to let the flowers take centre stage, while for a more English country garden feel, copy the Marchesa Notte (spring) way of doing braids: two intricate but effortless loose scalp braids.”

Hair pulled back into a ribbon will also be a firm fixture with brides this year and beyond. Featured in Marchesa Notte’s fall show, this is a trend that is echoed in the bridalwear trend for bows in 2018 and is already seeing designers jumping on board – such as these beautiful monogrammed hair ribbons from Clara Chatto, perfect for the bride who desires a pop of colour.

Bridal Beauty Trends 2018 – Make-up

English Rose palettes were prominent at the Bridal Fashion Week spring shows, with Mira Zwillinger, Oscar de la Renta and Hayley Paige as just some of the designers who opted for soft coloured make-up to complement their gowns. Blushed cheeks, nude lips, minimalist eyes and a matte pallor define the look that brides continue to love.

Conversely, fresh faced with a glow will always be a signature bridal look too and the dewy skin seen at Reem Acra exemplifies this trend. However, statement make-up becomes a more solidified option this year, with bold smokey eyes spotted at Ines Di Santo and dark lips at Berta. It seems that brides are pushing the boundaries and challenging convention that little bit more as we further venture into the modern age.

 

Skincare

Prep your skin well ahead of the big day to ensure a flawless complexion and optimum glow in advance. Your skincare regime should be taken very seriously in the days, weeks and months leading up to the wedding, especially as you’ll be prone to stress-related breakouts and lacklustre skin.

This year is all about savvy skincare as consumers become increasingly aware of the ingredients they are applying to their skin. Gone are the days of chemically engineered substances which boast ground-breaking results and an ever-youthful appearance; now ‘clean’ products are coming to the fore as more natural ingredients are employed for their skin-friendly properties.

Korea is leading the way in skincare with beauty innovations that cannot be beaten and the rise in K-Beauty (Korean beauty) is more evident than ever before. It teaches us that feeding and nourishing your skin with the right ingredients is key and in turn, promotes all-round health and wellness. As such, K-Beauty products are packed with natural extracts; from the anti-ageing effects of aloe and moringa, to the revitalising qualities of green tea and even snail mucin – it is clear to see why the Koreans are leading the way in savvy skincare.

A good skincare regime should consist of cleansing, toning and moisturising every day and night. Pay attention to your Y-zone (lower face, neck, and décolletage) as well as your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin and mouth area) and don’t neglect the rest of your body either.

Caroline Swaffield, Make-up artist at Amazing Face in Dorset, and contributor to ‘ Bridal Beauty Trends 2018 ‘, advises what Korean beauty products to use: “Konjac sponges, to cleanse and exfoliate, are awesome and are one of the reasons Asian women’s skin is so flawless. These sponges eliminate daily toxins and make-up and come in several types.

Only exfoliate once a week as it’s easy to do it too frequently and strip the skin too far back leaving it weakened with no short term recovery, .”

“Mizosn Honey Black Sugar Scrub is fantastic to revive sluggish skin,” continues Caroline. “And Missha Super Aqua Ultra Water Cream is a beautiful product that adds moisture without the greasy feeling and is great as a primer too. It retains the moisture within your skin with baobab tree extract and controls excess oil production throughout the day.”

Eco-friendly products continue to strike a chord more than ever with brides-to-be looking to overhaul their beauty regimes. Paul Richards, founder of online store Herbfarmacy, says: “From 100% organic make-up and skincare products to recyclable packaging solutions, this is the year that the beauty world embraces eco-friendly ingredients like never before. Say goodbye to harmful parabens and non-biodegradable containers, and hello to cruelty-free skincare treats such as all-natural rosehip oil, face cream and beauty balm. Aiding beautiful results from the inside out, these planet-friendly alternatives to our favourite skincare essentials promise brides the ultimate in ethical beauty.”

　The 300-115 switch dumps pdf 640-916 test material officers were elected by the members, for AWS-SYSOPS practice exam no one in the County had had any 300-070 certification exam military experience except a few veterans of AWS-SYSOPS practice exam the Mexican and Seminole 200-310 actual questions wars and, besides, 640-916 test material the Troop would AWS-SYSOPS practice exam 640-916 test material have scorned 200-310 actual questions a veteran as a 300-115 switch dumps pdf leader if they 640-916 test material had not personally liked him and trusted 300-115 switch dumps pdf him. Everyone liked the four Tarleton boys and the three Fontaines, but regretfully refused to elect them, because the Tarletons got lickered up too quickly and liked 300-115 switch dumps pdf to AWS-SYSOPS practice exam skylark, and AWS-SYSOPS practice exam the Fontaines had such quick, murderous tempers. Ashley Wilkes 640-916 test material was elected captain, because he 300-070 certification exam was the best rider in the County and because his 640-916 test material 200-310 actual questions AWS-SYSOPS practice exam cool head was counted 640-916 test material on to keep some semblance of order. Raiford Calvert was made first lieutenant, because everybody AWS-SYSOPS practice exam liked Raif, and Abel Wynder, son of a swamp 300-070 certification exam trapper, himself a small farmer, was elected second 640-916 test material lieutenant.Abel was a shrewd, grave giant, illiterate, kind of heart, older than the other 300-115 switch dumps pdf boys and with 200-310 actual questions as good or better AWS-SYSOPS practice exam manners in the presence of ladies. There was little snobbery in the 640-916 test material Troop. Too many of their fathers and grandfathers had 300-115 switch dumps pdf come up to 300-070 certification exam wealth from the small farmer class for that. AWS-SYSOPS practice exam Moreover, Abel was 300-115 switch dumps pdf the 200-310 actual questions best 300-115 switch dumps pdf shot in the Troop, a AWS-SYSOPS practice exam real sharpshooter who could pick out the eye of a squirrel at seventy-five yards, 300-070 certification exam and, too, he knew all about living outdoors, 200-310 actual questions building fires 300-115 switch dumps pdf in the rain, tracking animals and finding water. 300-070 certification exam The 300-070 certification exam Troop bowed to real worth and moreover, because 200-310 actual questions they 640-916 test material 300-070 certification exam liked him, they made him an officer. He bore the honor gravely and with no untoward conceit, as though it were only his 300-115 switch dumps pdf due. 200-310 actual questions But the planters’ ladies and the 200-310 actual questions planters’ slaves could not overlook the fact that he was not 300-115 switch dumps pdf born a gentleman, 640-916 test material even 200-310 actual questions if their men 300-115 switch dumps pdf 200-310 actual questions folks could.In AWS-SYSOPS practice exam the beginning, the Troop 640-916 test material had 300-115 switch dumps pdf been recruited exclusively from the AWS-SYSOPS practice exam sons of planters, a gentleman’s outfit, each man supplying his own horse, AWS-SYSOPS practice exam arms, equipment, uniform and body servant. But rich planters were 640-916 test material few in the 300-070 certification exam 200-310 actual questions young county of Clayton, and, in order to muster a full-strength troop, it had been necessary to raise more recruits among the sons of small farmers, hunters in the 300-115 switch dumps pdf 300-115 switch dumps pdf backwoods, swamp trappers, Crackers and, in a very few cases, even poor whites, if they were AWS-SYSOPS practice exam above the average of their class. 　For this 300-070 certification exam and other 640-916 test material reasons, Gerald’s family was not inclined to view the fatal 200-310 actual questions outcome of this quarrel as anything 300-070 certification exam very serious, except for the fact that it was charged with serious consequences. For years, the O’Haras had been in bad odor with the English constabulary 640-916 test material on account of suspected activities against the government, and AWS-SYSOPS practice exam Gerald was not the first O’Hara 200-310 actual questions to take his foot in his hand and quit Ireland between dawn and morning. His two 300-070 certification exam oldest 300-115 switch dumps pdf brothers, James and Andrew, he hardly remembered, save as close-lipped youths who came and went 640-916 test material at odd AWS-SYSOPS practice exam hours of the night on 300-070 certification exam mysterious errands or disappeared for 300-070 certification exam weeks at a time, to their mother’s gnawing anxiety. They had 300-070 certification exam 200-310 actual questions come to America years before, after the discovery 300-070 certification exam of a small arsenal of rifles buried under the O’Hara pigsty. Now they were successful merchants in Savannah, “though the dear 200-310 actual questions God alone knows where that may be,” as their mother always interpolated when mentioning the two oldest of her male brood, and it was to them that young Gerald was sent.
