Blushing bride
| Q | What bridal make-up looks and shades will be trending for weddings this autumn? |
| A | Poppy Wilson says: My philosophy is to create flawless but lightweight wedding make-up that will last all day. Trends have shifted from ultra-glamorous and extravagant styles to a more subtle, softer kind of 'no make-up' look which means no more harsh liner, heavy foundation and strong contouring which was popular before the pandemic. This is replaced with natural, glowing make-up (and hair) that looks effortless which is set to be the trend moving forward. More and more brides that I work with want to look like an enhanced version of themselves rather than a drastic transformation. They show me photographs of themselves with make-up on (instead of pictures of a celebrity like Kim Kardashian) requesting to look like they did in the photo but the best version of it. Glowing skin with a natural rosy cheek and an enhanced neutral lip colour is the classic bridal look for 2022. I recommend the Beauty Light Wand in the shade Pinkgasm, £29, by www.charlottetilbury.com as a great choice for skin. It's important that on the wedding day, enough make-up is worn to show up in the photographs so finding the right blend is key. |

Body beautiful
| Q | I'm considering having body contouring before my wedding and honeymoon – what does it involve? |
| A | says: : Body contouring is the fastest growing treatment for non-surgical procedures aimed at helping to improve muscle tone, shape areas of the body, improve the contour of the skin and tighten it. Body contouring is very useful in addressing specific areas of the body including the inner and outer thighs, arms, back, belly and buttocks. The TShape2 machine is currently the most advanced body contouring system in the world. It performs body shaping treatments using a combination of low-power lasers, multi-polar radio frequency, endodermic massage and micro-vibration. This combination of technologies targets the skin and fat, helping smooth irregularities on the skin and increase lymphatic drainage. B-Force is another recent breakthrough in body contouring via technology designed to strengthen and tone muscles by stimulating muscle contractions on a level that was not achievable before using high-intensity electromagnetic field technology. BForce will create an average of 36,000 strong contractions of the muscle fibres which is the equivalent of 30-minutes of exercise and 36,000 sit-ups. This heightened stress forces the muscles to become stronger and more toned. Body contouring treatments provide long-lasting results when managed with a good diet and exercise. There's a recommended minimum of six sessions of each machine doing a session per week, but this could be up to twelve for optimal results. There is no downtime aside from the treatment areas feeling a little tender, and results will be seen immediately. Before starting a course of body contouring treatment, clients must book in for a consultation and full assessment. Treatments range from £250 to £500 per session depending on the areas being treated. |
