This one is a bit of an oldie but a goodie, throwing it back to 2018 at Saltmarshe Hall with major UK Bridal fashion houses Grace Phillips, Ian Stuart & House of Mooshki for the Belle Bridal Magazine editorial Love in Bloom. The concept behind it was to marry bridal and mother of the bride stylings with a strong 1950's vibe and a specific nod to the imitable Jackie O for the mother of the bride looks.

The inspiration for the make-up came from the Hollywood glamour of 1940’s with the strong emphasis on highlight, contour and sculpting of the cheekbones with strong defined eyes and lips.
