Bridal Makeup Trends for 2008
Your makeup plays an important role in complimenting your features, dress and accessories. Clare Logue is personally trained by celebrity makeup artist Daniel Sandler and represents his range of cosmetics in Bucks,Berks and Oxford.
BACK TO BASICS
Everything starts with a flawless complexion. For longer lasting foundation, use a primer. The Daniel Sandler Retexturising Face Primer (£13.50) is perfect. For a natural look, I prefer a light dewy foundation, such as the Daniel Sandler Mineral Sheer Tint (£20), applied with a foundation brush. Concealer is essential to cover imperfections, along with a light dusting of a loose powder, to set the perfect base.
It is important that your makeup compliments the look and theme of your wedding dress- what wedding dresses and makeup will be wearing in 2008?
GLAMOUROUS FASHIONS OF THE 50S
At the 2008 bridal fashion shows, designers such as Pronovias graced brides with the elegance and refinement inherited from the great designers of the 40s and 50s. Gowns have dress and coat combinations and details such as bows, belts and vintage inspired fabrics.
The Makeup: Glamorous

Muted brown/cream eyeshadows lighter colours on the lid, darker in the contour area, blend well

21st CENTURY PRINCESSES
21st Century Princesses was also a strong theme at pronovias- voluminous organza,taffeta and tulle skirts were combined with sweetheart necklines and figure skimming bodices.
