Wedding make-up is a confusing business. Do you apply your own make-up or hire an artist? Do you stick with what you know and go for a classic au natural look? Or opt for something a bit bolder to stand out on the big day?
Nude tones, or red lipstick and lashes? And how do you nail a complexion so flawless even Bella Hadid would be jealous without looking like a ghost in the wedding pics?
Whatever you choose to do, consider make-up artist Caroline Barnes' top tip: 'Give yourself enough time to finish your make-up and then step away for a while. You might feel like you're wearing too much, but leave it to settle for an hour and then re-visit it.'
Still not sure what wedding make-up to go for? We've got all your wedding make-up inspiration for looking your most beautiful on the big day in one place. Check out our edit of the best wedding and bridal make-up ideas perfect for your big day...
