In need of some top wedding beauty tips and advice? Look no further...

We spoke to the brilliant Fred Letailleur, YSL Beauté National Face Designer, about how to ensure you look your very best on your big day…

“Wedding beauty starts with a flawless matte luminous base. For combination skins, use the Long Lasting Matte Luminous Fusion Ink Foundation and for normal to dry or dry skin, select The Touche Eclat Le Teint Foundation. It will create that perfect luminous second skin effect when applied with the new Y-brush.

“Overloading on powder is easily done. Instead, start with a layer of the lightweight Mattifying Gel Touche Eclat Blur Primer. It can even be mixed into foundation or brushed onto the lips before applying lipstick to give glossy textures a matte finish. Then target any stubborn shiny areas with an extra touch of foundation.

"A perfectly contoured face is also very important. To invisibly shade the skin, I like to use the Couture Mono Eyeshadow in 4 applied with a blush brush into the hollow of the cheeks. For highlights, start with the iconic Touche Eclat in 2 or 3 shades lighter than your own for a natural brightening effect. Use it underneath the eyes to soften darkness and on any unwanted shaded area to lift your features.

"To create a real bridal glow on the upper cheeks, I love using Rouge Volupte Shine 42. Simply add this touch of colour mixed with the cream to powder Kiss And Blush (my favourites are 7 or 3). Tip: only apply your blusher once your lipstick has been applied to avoid over doing the blush intensity.

"Eyebrow definition is an important aspect of the perfect bridal grooming. Start by using primer on the lids to set your eye makeup for the day, then apply primer with a liner brush under and on top of the eyebrows to sharpen their shape. For a natural result, fill your brows with the new YSL couture brow palette, then set them in the right direction using the Couture Brow Gel.

"To naturally enhance the eyes, favour liquid shadows to matte powder. And add definition with a waterproof eye pencil in a shade that enhances your eye colour. Finally, use an emotion proof Waterproof False Lash Effect Mascara in brown or black. Keeping it natural and simple is always the way forward."
