A growing trend in weddings that we absolutely love is the “DIY bride”. This new breed of brides is all about adding their personal touch to their big day, from the do-it-yourself décor to their hair and makeup. Not only is a DIY wedding a lot more budget-friendly, it allows more creative freedom to craft a wedding that’s all your own.

When it comes to DIY bridal beauty, we think simple and timeless is the best way to go. Focus on accentuating your features rather than piling on tons of makeup.

As the weather gets hotter, most women run into the dilemma of the heat and humidity wreaking havoc on their makeup. The trick to summerproofing your makeup routine is by choosing lightweight, waterproof formulas. Remember that less is more when it comes to summer makeup. Think sheer, pretty and natural.

These beauty must-haves are tried-and-tested to look fabulous even through a hot summer day:
