Our local experts answer your questions FINE LINES FIXED! I’m getting married at 40 and have a few fine lines and wrinkles. How can I best conceal these on my wedding day without looking caked in make-up? Congratulations on your exciting upcoming wedding! A great way to prevent the exaggeration of fine lines is to use lightweight products, this prevents the make-up from caking. Using a silicone based mattifying product such as The Trinny London Miracle Blur or the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer will help to minimise the appearance of fine lines. The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders do a great job of giving the skin a diffused glow at the end of makeup application. I hope it goes well! I know you’ll look amazing!

STAYING POWER I find my make-up, especially mascara, smudges during the day. How do I make sure it stays in place on my wedding day? Smudgy mascara is a tricky one and super common. Using a waterproof mascara will help and a tiny bit of translucent powder just to soak up any excess oils from concealer or foundation in that area will keep you smudge-free on your big day!
