Wearing the right makeup to look good in both photos and natural daylight is an art which can be achieved with expertise and the right products and some good advice.
Skin preparation is essential on the morning of your wedding!!
Make sure before you even start to apply your foundation and any make up that you have exfoliated the skin well prior to application.
This will remove any dead skin cells and dry patches so that your make up will apply evenly over the skin.

Your foundation
Before applying your foundation dab a small amount of moisturiser onto the skin but allow a few minutes for it to absorb.
How to choose the right foundation?
Make sure you choose the closest shade to your skin type. Supercover do over 40 different shades from the palest to the darkest of skin colours with different undertones so you will definitely find a shade to suit you. Always test on the jaw line and not the hand to see how the colour looks, it should give the illusion that it has disappeared into the skin so that you know it is the right match for you. There should be no visible edges to the colour.
For the blushing bride
Brides with very high colour and redness such as split capillaries, thread veins or blemishes can hide this using a green colour corrective cream which also will help calm the skin. Supercover foundations will also hide redness in the skin giving a flawless finish and an excellent base for the rest of your make up.
Recommended Supercover foundation for your skin tone.
Calming Cream by Susan Molyneux a highly effective green tinted preparation to soothe and protect the skin.
Excellent for sensitive skins prone to redness this cream helps to strengthen the capillary walls, reduce inflammation and neutralise high colour.
