• Am Spa Urban make up artist are ready for your personal audition call now on Tel: 01273 386330 or email bridalmakeover@relaxandpamper.co.uk
  
• Always audition your make-up artist for your big day. Credentials don’t really mean anything at this point. Just because they’ve done Jordan’s make-up doesn’t mean they’re right for you!
  
• Always aim to look like yourself enhanced by the tips and ideas by the brides in the brochures and magazines. The best advice is that practice makes perfect. Do have a dry run, so you don’t have any surprises on the day. And remember to wear a dress similar in colour to the one you will be wearing. Your make-up will look different if you’re wearing a lighter colour (like white).
  
• Be careful you don’t go for an overly dramatic look – you want the groom to see you, the dress and your happiness… not just the make-up!
  
• Get into a regular skincare routine so book into our beauty salon and discuss your needs and fears with a qualified beauty therapist who will advise you how to invest in some good products and cleanse, tone and moisturise every morning and evening.
  
• List any beauty treatments you want to have – facials, waxing, manicures, pedicures, massages, eyebrow shaping and so on, and book the necessary appointments as early as possible.

Start shaping up

• If you don’t already do any exercise, it’s a good idea to start now, as it helps to reduce stress and increase your circulation, which in turn gets more oxygen to your skin and brain, so making you look radiant on the day. Getting fit will also help you to breathe properly, which you may be forgetting to do as your stress levels go up… Walking to work or swimming should help burn off a few pounds.
  
• If you’re planning to detox, start now – it can give you spots thanks to all those toxins coming out. The Relax and Pamper club will help you devise the right programme for you. Click here for more details.
  
• Drink water like wine – ideally, drinking six to eight glasses of mineral water a day will help to clear your skin and make your eyes and hair shine like never before. Try replacing your usual coffees and fizzy drinks with water and you’ll see the difference in no time.
  
• Eat healthily – too much dieting can make you look gaunt in your wedding photos but a healthy eating regime will help you look your best. Have a varied diet, rich in anti-oxidant giving fruits and vegetables to help repair cell damage and reduce inflammation. These can be found in the most deeply or brightly coloured fruits and veg such as spinach, carrots, red bell peppers and tomatoes. We can look at amazing face diets that a worth trying for amazing-looking skin.
  
• Don’t set yourself unrealistic targets. It’s difficult to stick to a diet at the best of times and when you’re stressed out, it’s even harder. Chances are, you’ll lose weight anyway, rushing around doing all that organising. It’s much better to concentrate on a routine of healthy eating and exercise, rather than dieting. You’ll look too thin and
  pale anyway and your grandmother will tut throughout the ceremony.
