I’m never without the MyBeautyBrand Perfect Pink Lip Oil either, which is essentially everything I wanted in a lip product. The 24-piece kit contains every Eye, Lip, and Complexion brush needed for flawless application, buffing, and blending. One morning, as I was going through my usual makeup routine I started to really think about what I was doing: was I using the right moisturiser before my foundation?

That doesn’t mean to say I manage it every day, in fact it’s rare that I ever do the school run in make-up!One make-up artist who has played a key role in countless beautiful bridal moments is Hannah Martin. But I make it really clear this is playtime – I don’t want to instill in her an idea that she (or mummy) has to wear make-up to beautiful, I spend a lot of time make-up free.

With 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, Hannah Martin’s makeup talents are widely recognised amongst Royals, credited by celebrities, and have been witnessed on runways. I’m always keen to tell brides that, just because it’s your wedding day, it doesn’t mean you need to wear more foundation or a heavier formula. I think that looks better on a bride than a fully matte lip, which can look flat and feel uncomfortable.She’s the woman behind Princess Eugenie’s wedding day glow and she also worked behind the scenes at another high profile royal nuptial, lending the Duchess of Cambridge a helping hand with some makeup lessons ahead of the big day. Another good foundation is Armani’s Luminous Silk, because it works on all skin types, while brides who want a bit more coverage will like Lancôme’s Teint Idole. Simply scoop a little out of the tub and rub it on their face gently until the make-up has melted away. I’ll then apply a Chantecaille Gold Energising Eye Recovery Mask and leave for a few minutes while my La Mer Treatment Softener goes on, followed by Shiseido Ultimune Concentrate and Augustinus Bader The Cream. If there’s one thing everyone knows about weddings, it’s that all eyes are always on the bride – so looking luminous is essential.

Both are excellent for blending eyeshadow through the crease of the eye, but I use them for concealer and cream shadows, too. There are lots of long-wearing bases available – like Estée Lauder Double Wear, MAC Studio Fix and Hourglass Vanish – which is great, but most of them are quite full-coverage, so if you prefer a lighter look, there are a few things you can do.Hannah's social channels are a treasure trove of easy makeup tips and tutorials for both makeup novices and seasoned professionals. Follow with an eye cream and then a mid-weight moisturiser, like Bobbi Brown’s Vitamin Enriched Face Base, or Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream Light. My holy grail for this is Bobbi Brown’s Foundation Stick, as you can really manipulate it for the coverage you want in areas like the cheeks, or around the nose and chin – gently stipple with a small, tightly bound brush, like Hourglass’s Concealer Brush.
