June sunshine lit up The Yorkshire Wedding Barn for Lydia's wedding in Gilling West, which meant starting the bridal makeup with one of my favourite SPF's. The Beauty Pie Featherlight SPF is perfect as it combines high SPF with a really makeup friendly formula that helps secure pigments in place on a balmy day. There's little worse than feeling greasy from your sun protection on a hot day, then layering make-up on top can be a recipe for disaster. Starting with the Beauty Pie SPF is a great way to keep the skinbase light and fresh whilst still being protected.
Wedding photographer Sean Elliott did...
Flashback to December at Halton Grove, it was such a beautiful winter's day in Northumberland. I always love seeing the sun shine brightly through the windows and directly onto my bridal makeup chair. It was the last wedding I was working as a makeup artist in 2024, and it was just the joyful boost I needed send me off into the festive break. That's all because of the energy that just radiated out of lovely bride Laura.
Just a quick scroll through this preview of their wedding album from Sean Elliot Photography will illustrate perfectly the happy go lucky vibes she brought to our morning together....
