outfit’s palette

and keep things

pale for a fresh,

clean and

youthful look.

If you’re using

colour on your

eyes and cheeks,

keep your lips

nude to avoid

a ‘dolly’ look.

Keep your eyes

defined with

black mascara

and don’t be

afraid to choose

coloured shadows

to bring out your

outfit’s tones.

Dark lips will

pull the whole

look together.

Go for warm

tones on cheeks

and eyes. Try a

bronzed blusher

and use an

illuminating

primer, which

will act as a

highlighter and

prevent the red

tones draining

your natural

colouring.

A bronze-tinted

foundation is

a great base for

this look; then a

gold liner or silver

nail polish is all

the metallic you

need. Red lips keep

it sophisticated.

‘I hear from hundreds of brides-to-be

every day via Facebook and Twitter,’ says Sam

Rogers, Brides online editor, ‘and when it comes

to colour, mothers are choosing between four

strong contenders: red, dark hues, metallics and

pastels.’ Whatever colour your mum wants to

wear, fashion and beauty editor

Astrid Joss shares the best

beauty buys to complement

each look.
