Makeup

Hello, I was hoping to get some product advice for my wedding next month.

I’m very fair/light skinned with neutral undertones (ginger hair, freckles, hazel eyes) and I don’t usually wear much makeup, so I’m a bit lost with where to start.

I recently bought Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter because I wanted something really sheer and glowy rather than full coverage, but now I’m struggling with blush and lip products.

For blush:

  • I can’t decide between cream or powder
  • I want something subtle, natural and long-lasting
  • Definitely more soft pink than peach/coral
  • again want to look my skin but nicer and nothing too matte

For lips:

  • I’m overwhelmed by all the options (liner, tint, balm, lipstick etc.)
  • I basically want my natural lip colour but slightly better
  • Don’t want anything dark, super pink, brown or matte
  • Ideally hydrating and with decent staying power

Would love any shade recommendations, product types, or tips for what tends to suit fair neutral/redhead colouring. Also open to prep tips on the day for making glowy makeup sit nicely and last all day without looking heavy 😊
