I've recently received many frantic calls from Brides who have forgotten that they have do something with their makeup on their wedding day. Getting your wedding makeup done is as important as buying the dress, as is booking your hair stylist. It all adds to the perfect, polished look that you first dreamed of when you bought the magazines and began picking out your favourite dresses.

It will also last all day and give you one less thing to worry about. It will also make you feel relaxed. You've worked your socks off planning this wedding for the last one to two years so why should you be worrying about wobbly eyeliner on the big day? Please dont leave it late. Visit Bridal fairs, research online and find someone you like and book a trial. There is usually no obligation to keep the date if you didn't hit it off. If you have left it late and believe you me hard working Bridal makeup artists get booked in advance, here are a couple of tips to help you out.

1. Watch some online tutourials on youtube. Lisa Eldridge is one of my favourites!

2.Visit a makeup counter or book a lesson. They can advise you and you can buy the products that you need. Bobbi Brown and Bare Minerals are excellent at this.

3. Ask a makeup inclined friend to help you. She/He might be a whizz at liner and can help you on the day. Hopefully this person could be one of your bridesmaids.

4. Ask your Hairdresser if she knows anyone, chances are they work with many artists and can reel a few off. Even the wedding venue might have a list of suppliers they regually use.

5.Dont panic! No matter what, you will look beautiful. Makeup should make you look like a more radiant version of yourself and no one is more happy than a bride on her wedding day!
