SAVE for 4 quick ways to a fuller pout 💋
Just don’t over-do the contour on the upper lip… we’re not after a moustache 😂🤘🏻
I’m not about making the lips too big, but there’s no harm in enhancing what you already have:
1. Smack the lips and that’ll take your lipstick up over your milk-line. You’re stealing millimetres, if that. For your art work to look convincing in daylight, IMO that’s about as big as you can make your lips without overdrawing. Overdrawing can look a bit meh in the wrong light.
2. You can make those extra millimetres definite by adding some liner.
3. You can create a shadow below the milk line, and above the Cupid’s bow. Just don’t over-do it!
4. You can add gloss. My top lip is where I’d add some extra pout, so putting the gloss on the milk line of my top lip does the job for me- particularly if I’ve added a bit of shade with that contour.
Lipstick: @charlottetilbury So 90s, was Birkin Brown
Liner: @beautypie Vanilla Nude
Gloss: @maxfactor lip glaze in Cotton Candy
Contour: @benefitcosmeticsuk Hoola Original
Try it when you go out-out next 💋

Voluminous, long lashes WITHOUT falsies 🤩
Brides, you don’t have to wear false lashes. We can make the most of what you’ve naturally got if falsies aren’t up your street.
Curling and tight-lining alone could be enough to lengthen your lashes and give some extra oomph to your eyes.
Likewise, if a few more lashes are a bit of you, I’m not complaining! Often you’d be surprised at what a few well placed cluster lashes can do. Worth a try at your trial anyway.
SAVE for some lash enhancing techniques 🤩

Build-a-brow with me 🖊️
Everyone knows just how much I love the @maccosmeticsuk Shape and Shade Brown Tint in shade ‘Fling’. But I probably love this dupe more… it’s cheaper for one 🫢
The nib is firmer, finer and this colour was perfect for me. These pens can be notorious for having strange shades… but these seemed convincing. It also had a far more useful brow set on the opposing end, unlike the MAC counterpart. If anyone has ever used the other end of the MAC pen? Let me know 😂
Have you tried a pen for drawing in your brows?

Anyone else get Donald Trump vibes? Listen in 🔊
Sadly not the speedy product I wanted it to be. To get it to work for me, it needed a concealer that was a little bit lighter to help me surpass the floating head syndrome due to the slightly orange cast. Might be a great mid-summer product for me though 🤷♀️
Otherwise, love the glow. And it is an SPF, with moisturising properties (claims you don’t need moisturiser) so I could persevere. And most likely will on my ‘less makeup’ days.
Just pass me a lighter concealer to blend it in ✌🏼
P.S not great under the foundations I tried. It set with a film, so it would go patchy in the end.
Have you tried it? What did you think? 💭

Tap if you love that too 🤍
I love a seemingly natural kind of look, but it doesn’t always equate to a minimal amount of product. To some, who like a truly minimal amount of product to stick to a genuinely natural look, my style can actually feel quite glam.
Glowing, perfected skin can often take a bit of product. But I love creating makeups where the whole makeup isn’t overdone.
So yeah, there’ll be a few little lashes to elevate the look, a nice coating of mascara for impact and some soft, feature enhancing tricks included. But it’ll definitely have a big stamp of you on it, and always look timeless 🙌🏼

Your final hour checklist. SAVE for your day 👰🏻♀️
The schedule can be flexible, but this bit stays! Seems crazy, especially when you first hear me say it, but it’s a real god send.
ALWAYS factor in a ‘spare’ hour before your ceremony time if you’re at a venue, or your leaving time if you’re preppin’ at home ✨

It was the ‘yes day lauder’ and ‘sailor Lauder’ for me. Crying!🎙️ 😂✌🏼

Hannah ft. @emmashackleton, @foxtailbarnsvenue, @willowbywatters, @princessoccasions and the best bridal headband you ever did see 👌🏻✨😍
Hannah came all the way from Manchester for her trial. And wanted her usual flicks and lots of sparkle- and absolutely no hints of pink.
So as the main events we went with:
@bobbibrownuk Moonstone eyeshadow
@charlottetilbury JK Magic lipstick
@bobbibrownuk Bronze Shimmerbrick
Foxtail was the wedding they’d planned many moons ago, before COVID hit. Yep, it’s still affecting this industry. But Hannah got married in a small ceremony when they could 🤍

Pippa, glowing at Rowton Castle moments before her ceremony on Saturday ✨
Glowing skin is the preference so far this year, so put Natasha Denona IL Hy Gen Skin Glass and Iconic London Prep Set Glow in your baskets 🛍️
Big congrats to this beautiful soul 🤍
Because it’s that time again ✌🏼

Figuring out timings is important for your prep to go smoothly. We figure this out at your trial based on your ceremony time and party numbers.
But if you want to figure them out sooner leave the final hour before the ceremony free, give an hour to the bride and 45 minutes per person otherwise.
And obvs give me 15 to set-up ✌🏼
*god only knows what the glitch was with that last transition, but you get the point 😂
HIT SAVE FOR LATER 🤍

⚠️ Upsetting Content ⚠️
Lots of lipsticks were harmed in the making of this video.
The beautiful @charlottetilbury lipsticks with the little kisses really hurt to destroy. But my back will thank me for it in the end 👌🏻
Good news is that there are 5 spaces left in the palette. What should I fill them with? Fave lipstick anyone… 🤔
