Five minutes with Halstead-based wedding hair stylist and make-up artist

My husband-to-be and I are set to tie the knot with a glamorous-theme. I want quite a simple look during the day that can be vamped up for the evening do – what would you suggest?

Abi Cutter of Lipstick & Locks says: Explain to your make-up artist at your trial that you're hoping to add some extra glamour in the evening and require a versatile look that you can add a little va-vavoom too! This could be as simple as changing your lipstick. Opting for strip lashes on your wedding day will allow you to make a simple change by swapping them in the evening for a fuller, heavier pair. There are so many styles on the market, with wispy and fluffy ones being particularly popular. Your lips can be taken from a barely there nude during your 'I dos', to a darker pink. Or if you're feeling brave go for a dramatic red pout. These changes can easily be done without affecting any of the surrounding make-up, plus the products are small enough to be carried in a bridesmaid's clutch bag. One of your best girls who is confident with cosmetics can do these changes for you. Or alternatively, speak with your make-up artist – for an extra charge they'll return in the evening to do any touch-ups you require.
