What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?
If your makeup artist isn't staying throughout the day, get a small powder compact just to cover any shiny areas in your t-zone and don't forget to top up the lipstick! After you have said your "i do's" take a step back with your new partner to just reflect on the day just the 2 of you.
