Bridal Beauty Talk with Raychel Wade, Colour Ambassador for La Prairie

Raychel Wade, the go-to-gal for bridal beauty (she’s done some 500 brides) enlightens POSHGLAM with the ”I do’s” for any lady taking the walk down the aisle.

According to Wade the bridal look for fall varies depending on several things. “What changes the look; where you are getting married, the venue, like how rich the interiors are, and or will it be indoors or outdoors. Also are you having rich burgundy in your flowers, if yes then change up your lipstick.” Wade continues, “I always ask the bride where are you getting married and at what time of day.” In order to get the look to last Wade expresses you must use the proper products. “Using a good foundation with having skin in tip top shape is essential. When I meet a bride for a trial I hope they are on a good skin care regime. If so I absolutely see the difference, and doing facials, and religiously using cleaners, toners, moisturizers etc., makes an impact as well.” As far as achieving a long-lasting effect, Wade adds, “Layering makeup is key …the more you layer the more staying power makeup has. For example with eyes, I’ll use a foundation base, then a cream shadow and finish with powder …the more your pack it on the better it’ll last.”

The age-old inquiry, what about using false eyelashes to make eyes pop? Wade proclaims, “Of the 500 brides I’ve done only five did not use them. Basically you have two options: individuals that are short to fill in gaps under mascara or full sets that look natural.”
