After months of anticipation, Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing have officially tied the knot. Again. The second leg of their two-part celebrations saw Sophie stun in an ivory lace gown against the sunlit Sotogrande backdrop, and her star-studded guest list didn't disappoint either, serving up the kind of beauty inspiration that we'll be looking to ahead of the flurry of weddings we'll be attending this summer.

Thankfully, those in attendance quickly took to Instagram to reveal exactly how they achieved their looks for the wedding weekend. First up was fellow Made In Chelsea star Zara McDermott, whose go-to products were overwhelmingly high street heroes like the L'Oreal Paris True Match Nude Plumping Tinted Serum, £14.99.

A perfect choice for those looking for a lightweight, breathable base to last through the day, this tinted serum by L'Oreal Paris is part-skincare, part-make-up buy. Infused with hyaluronic acid, this tint packs the power of a skincare serum and the coverage of a foundation.

Speaking about the product on her Instagram Stories, Zara said, 'If you're like me and you don't like wearing foundation... or you have skin like mine where foundation just doesn't sit right on it, then honestly you HAVE to try this. It's one of my favourite products of all time, I wear it so much! I have a few diff shades and if I haven't fake tanned my face I use a darker shade to give me a face tan to match my body! And it's a plumping hyaluronic acid serum so my skin feels amazing all day long.'

'It's perfect for summer wear and lasts all day. It sits brilliantly on top of sunscreen, too!' she adds.

But Zara's affordable wedding day beauty picks didn't stop there. She relied on everything from Weleda's cult classic Skin Food, £14.95, to L'Oreal Paris' volume-giving Paradise Volumising Mascara, £12.99. Keen to get your kit ready ahead of wedding season?

'I loooove this sunscreen! I actually watched a TikTok where they applied it and put the face under UV light and the protection when applying this product was insane compared to others! So I had to buy it.... It's really good for acne prone skin and works well on my sensitive skin/ rosacea!! The tint isn't very strong at all btw - it works on any skin tone.'

'Also I'm V V V obsessed with this. It's an under make-up glow that equally could be wore alone. But so nice to wear under foundation especially in summer.'

'These lash curlers from @tweezermanuk are a staple in my make-up bag - my faves are the classic ones!! Nothing curls my short little lashes like it.'

'I recently found myself in a situation where my eyes had a little outbreak of dermatitis. I switched a few of my products up and found this mascara works well for sensitive eyes. I can truly vouch for that - this hasn't aggravated my dermatitis at all and I have really sensitive eyes in general. I've found this works really well.'

'I don't leave the house without my hun. This stuff is heaven on my lips and keeps them looking glossy yet hydrated. The shade Cherry is my fave.'

'Totally obsessed with these... lip balm in a lipstick! I've got every colour but the one I wore is the shade Nude Heaven! Omg it's so lovely! I hate the feeling of lipstick on my lips and I'm truly a lip balm addict. So when I saw this I prayed that it would feel ok on my lips; and it did! Just like a balm.'
