Summer’s here and, whether you’re having an English garden wedding or a Seychelles beach ceremony, flawless skin will make you look fresh, glowing and healthy on your big day, says Cheryl I’Anson, WeddingPath’s resident wedding expert and recent newly-married...

But how do you make sure your make-up stays photo-perfect right through the day? The answer is to go mineral with your make-up.

Wearing make-up in hot weather can be a disaster zone as it’s prone to sliding off or causing unsightly outbreaks of spots, right when you don’t want them.

Here at WP, we’ve long been advocates of mineral make-up as the zinc oxide stops your pores from becoming clogged, leading to spots, while the natural pigments blend easily on the skin and provide a sheer cover, meaning they won’t melt in the heat.

WeddingPath’s own newly-married, Cheryl, used Bare Escentuals Foundation on her wedding day, and swears by it. “My bridesmaids and I all used mineral make-up on the day and, while our guests were sweating under the hot sun, we stayed fresh-looking all day – and only touched up our make-up once before dinner.”

Cheryl also recommends Barefaced Beauty’s Mineral Foundation (£12.95) which comes in 19 different shades. And you can test out the best shade for you first as the 1g sample pots cost only £1.75. And if you’re heading off to sunnier climes for your honeymoon, Barefaced Beauty’s Beach Babe Kit (£29.95), which includes a silky Mineral Bronzer, shimmering Mineral Glow, Mineral Lip Gloss and a retractable brush, is all you need for flawless beach babe skin.
