Practise loads before you go and find the exact look you are going for.... If ou go to Debanams they'll do a make up trial for you and tell you what sort of make up ou will need for the trial, although it doesnt mean you have to go and buy from debanams ( expensive hehe =D Xx

I would also say go to the make up counters and get them to show you how to achieve the look you want. You will have loads of time to practice and if you don't like the first suggestions you can always try another counter.

Seeing as it's going to be hot i'd suggest a tinted moisturiser rather than a heavy foundation - the olay one with maxfactor is brill and feel slight as a feather. xxx

Thanks girls. Need to learn how to apply false eyelashes properly!
How long before the day are you going over as if they are done by a pro they can last up to two weeks. It would save you the hassle.

Maggielou Hi I am a make-up artist and can suggest the following.... 1)Keep your make-up nice and natural... 2)If you can't find a tinted moisturiser you like use the foundation you like and mix it with either suntan lotion to keep your face safe from the sun or a mosituriser with a SPF in it. 3)Waterproof mascara-obviously :-) 4)In hot countries you are better off using a cream blusher with a little bit of shimmer it will look stunning with the sun shimmering on your skin. 5)Take with you some skin blotting paper - you can get little packets of them from Superdrug. If you start to sweat blot don't wipe. 6)Use a lip tint or lip pencil with a little gloss or vaseline for shine - it will last all day instead of a lipstick which can get hot and bleed. Thats all I can think of right now :-) hope it helps. Have a great wedding.x

Maggielou - Its difficult to describe in written words what to do and how to apply make-up...... as Louise above has said many mobile make-up artists like myself will happily give you a make-up lesson.
Also I noticed you mentioned false eyelashes...... these can make you look drag queen like if you are not careful and the last thing you want is one of them starting to come away from your eye which they can do when it is very hot or and humid.
My advise to brides on trials is always less is more...... you want really to look like an enhanced version of yourself..... you don't want to look back at your pictures and think "oh my god what was I thinking with my make-up!"
