Orange is the new pink! 4 easy bridal makeup tips

All Aglow

Nail a timeless day and night look with soft, shimmery shades instead of bold hues on your eyes and lips. Start with a velvety complexion, says makeup expert Celestine Sng, who recommends liquid or cream foundation – lighter and easier to apply than two-way cake. “Don’t forget blusher and highlighter on the T-zone, as well as just above the cheekbones, and along the brow bones. It’ll give you this amazing warm glow,” she says.

Pout Power

This peachy-orange colour makes your kissers appear luscious and sweet. A dab of gloss on the centre of both lips adds more pout power.

Tangerine Shine

“I am a huge fan of cream eyeshadows, and use the lighter, shimmery shades as primers and to brighten eyes,” says Celestine. Here, she blends shimmery rose gold and tangerine eyeshadows over the upper lid, and adds just a trace to the lower lash line for extra sparkle. Then she smudges cream (or gel) eyeliner along the upper lash line and runs the mascara wand across the lashes from side to side, and then outwards so they look lush and long.

Fruitilicious!

A bold apricot instantly makes your lips appear youthful, fun and so kissable. For lasting colour, fill in with a lip pencil before adding colour.
