Try to avoid statement looks, and keep your makeup and hair classic so your pictures don t date. DO YOUR RESEARCH Cast your net wide when it comes to recommendations for beauty vendors. Start right here in the pages of Weddings Tasmania Magazine, and ask your newly wedded friends and/ or family for their wedding hair and makeup suppliers. Go online and make a list of salons in your area, check out their reviews, and once you ve narrowed down your makeup artist and hairdresser hit list, be sure to ask to see their portfolio of past brides they ve worked with. An experienced makeup artist should be able to identify your skin tone and advise on the colours that will suit you, while a good hair stylist will take into consideration your dress, accessories, the shape of your face and the type of look you want to achieve. PREP YOUR SKIN This goes for both pre-trial and pre-wedding day. Even the most experienced of makeup artists prefer to work with a flawless palette, so taking special care of your complexion to get it into tiptop shape before the big day is paramount. A skincare regime tailored to your skin type, whether oily, dry, combination or sensitive, and regular facials are the cornerstones of glowing skin, so enlist a facialist in the lead up to the wedding to help you address any specific complaints, such as pigmentation or reoccurring blemishes. Continue the good work at home with regular exfoliation and mask treatments; try Sisley s Black Rose range which includes the Precious Face Oil (RRP $260.00), Skin Infusion Cream (RRP $230.00) and Cream Mask (RRP $180.00). Don t forget about your décolletage. The skin here is tissuethin and prone to wrinkling not a good look in your strapless wedding gown. Treat this area as you would your face with plenty of TLC!

The same goes for your hands think of all those close-ups of your wedding rings. Use a gentle scrub weekly and follow GROOMING FOR THE GROOMS YOUR WEDDING DAY SURVIVAL KIT up with a generous amount of lotion and cuticle oil, like Dr Hauschka Neem Nail & Cuticle Oil (RRP $51.00). As for your tresses, schedule in regular trims and treat your mane to some deep treatments at home. Try cutting back on the number of times you wash your hair per week as daily shampooing is incredibly drying. Limit washes to no more than three to four times a week. ACE YOUR BEAUTY TRIALS Be sure to book your trials two months in advance so you have enough time to find another provider in the (hopefully unlikely!) event you re unhappy with the results. Find out what products your beauty team uses; many makeup artists like to stick to a certain brand of makeup, but if your skin is extremely sensitive, this might not work for you. Ensure you spend plenty of time talking through your wishes with both your makeup artist and hair stylist so you re all on the same page. During the trial don t be shy about voicing any concerns or giving constructive feedback. Once your makeup trial is complete, your makeup artist should check you re happy with the results. If you are not, they should offer a re-do; it s very important they nail the look you re after at the trial, so it can be reproduced exactly (and in a timely fashion) on the big day. Try to schedule your trial before a big event, like a friend s birthday or work do, to test the longevity of your hair and makeup. You want to see how it all holds up after four hours or so. Also be sure to take plenty of photos what looks good in the mirror might look washed-out to the camera. Don t despair grooms, it s not all about the brides We know you care just as much as your partner does about looking good on your wedding day. While you may not need to deliberate over exactly which shade of pink your lipstick should be amaranth or Hollywood cerise there are plenty of things you can do to put your best face forward. Nourish your insides It stands to reason that your dermis will be glowing on the outside if you take care of the inside. Try to eat a range of colourful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and avoid alcohol and refined sugar. Your skin will thank you for it. Use some lotions & potions A comprehensive skincare regime is no longer simply the dominion of the ladies. There are plenty of good quality products available for men, which promise to keep your skin in top condition, without costing the earth. A quick cleanse and moisturise routine twice a day (try Natio for Men Daily Face Wash, RRP $11.95 and Oil Free Moisturiser, RRP $13.95) should help keep problem skin at bay. Tackle any issues Experiencing some pesky dandruff or difficultto-budge blackheads? Address any issues now so they don t rear their ugly head on your wedding PHOTOGRAPHY: ED JONES PHOTOGRAPHY 5 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR BEAUTY TEAM Will you come to me? Whether you re getting ready at home, or have booked out a hotel suite for you and your bridal party to primp and preen on the morning of the wedding, find out if your makeup artist and hair stylist will come to you. Do you need to see photos of my dress, venue and wedding décor? Providing some snaps of the key elements of your wedding will give your makeup artist and hair stylist a sense of an appropriate beauty look, so ask if they will take some time going over these with you. What kind of prep should I do beforehand? Check whether your makeup artist would like you to prime or moisturise your skin beforehand, and if your hair stylist would prefer you to have freshly washed hair. Check whether the same applies to both your trial and wedding day as the prep required may differ. Are there any extra charges I should be aware of? You don t want to be caught out by charges such as Here are the essentials every beauty savvy bride needs to keep in her wedding day arsenal.
