We all love a free competition don’t we, so I was more than happy to spread the word about Estee Lauder’s latest competition to win a bridal makeover with one of their top international make up artists, Alan Pan. They’re offering one lucky bride-to-be the chance to come to London and meet Alan Pan for a makeover, tips and to share his make up secrets! (bride, bridesmaid and mother of the bride). Not only this but you’ll leave with a goodie bag of Estee Lauder beauty products worth £500, which is certainly enough to tempt most brides-to-be to enter!

I asked Alan Pan, International Make up Artist, Estee Lauder, what is the popular look for brides at the moment and if could share some of his tips with us…
“Lots of brides have been asking for a romantic look recently. For a gorgeous, romantic wedding look you’ve always dreamed of, use these tips to create soft features with romantic accents and a hint of depth if desired.
Prep your skin with your favourite skincare products. Next apply your foundation – try one with a long lasting formula (such as Double Wear Light Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10 or Nutritious Vita-Mineral Loose Powder Makeup SPF 15). For full coverage invest in the cult product Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup for Face and Body SPF15 – it will cover tattoos, redness and scars for total confidence on your big day. While your foundation is still wet, apply a crème blusher along the area under cheekbones to contour and define. Create a natural flush by dusting on powder blush on top of it – this will keep your blush in place for longer. Use the middle of your ear and tip of your nose as a guideline. Next apply a neutral, ivory eye shadow to the brow bone to highlight eyes. Apply a muted eyeshadow starting at your lashline, then blending up and over lid, buffing shadow into the brow
Line and fill in lips with a lip pencil. Layer with your chosen lipstick – bonze colours work really well for this look. Apply your eye liner then slightly smudge – opt for a brown rather than black as it can be too harsh. If you want something slightly more dramatic go for a slate or graphite coloured liner for added defition into the lash line. Finish this look with a sweep of gloss in a blush rose or honey coloured gloss . Finish by sweeping a waterproof mascara – go for one with volume and lift for added drama onto the over top and bottom lashes”
What do you think guys is this the sort of promotion you like? Sounds like brilliant fun and I love the sound of the goodie bag (I am hoping that they might send me some bits and bobs!). I look forward to featuring the winner on LMW. Enter for free online through the Estee Lauder Facebook Page.
