How to do the perfect wedding guest make-up

 

Carly Hobbs, make-up artist to the stars and author of Supermodel Tips, gives the low down on highlighting your cheeks for day-long glamour at a wedding - here are the do's and dont's of  glow trends.

 

Carly explains: Fresh, flirty skin needs the biggest trend of all - beautifully highlighted complexions.

Forget heavy old, school style contouring and obvious, alien type highlights that are way too sheeny - they should be subtle and barely visible to the naked eye.

Carly recommends opting for a clever kind of highlighter layering to create this beautiful 3D effect.

The Body Shop Instaglow CC Cream SPF 20 is your ultimate go to when it comes to looking super glowy on your big day.

Carly explains: “Before adding your base, use a fine layer of the hydrating cream. It makes complexion sheen from the inside out.

Then after your base and eye make-up is in place use The Body Shop Baked To Last Bronzer on the tops of cheek bones, under the brow arch, the very end of the nose and above the Cupid's Bow.

 

 

 

Dust gently into place using The Body Shop Point Highlighter Brush.

'Set this prettiness in place by sweeping a little of The Body Shop Baked To Last Blush over the top using the same brush. Blur this in gently and softly, so not to spoil your illuminating work underneath.

"Finally swerve that contour look, instead sweeping just a little The Body Shop Concealer All-In-One into the hollows of your cheeks and blending at the edges with your fingertips.

The warmth from your fingers allows it to sink in seamlessly. This gives definition without looking too try hard.

The overall effect for a perfect wedding guest look? A gentle glow that looks like a built in Instagram filter on camera.¬ù
