We chat to Emily David, a Wiltshire-based make-up and hair artist

Emily David is a bridal make-up specialist and hair stylist based in Melksham, Wiltshire. We catch up with her about upcoming summer trends for bridal make-up. She tells us, "Two key looks are set to be trending this summer and the first is a sun-kissed bronze glow. To create this, I recommend applying a smoky bronze shade on your eyelids like the Voyageur Eyeshadow Palette in Suede from Nars. Next, add Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick Compact in Bronze, an ultra-fine brush-on powder, to your cheeks. Gently build the colour for a radiant look and don't forget to dab some on the end of your nose and your forehead. Finally, enhance your natural lip line with Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk by Charlotte Tilbury and fill in the colour with the new Hyaluronic Happikiss lipstick, also in the classic Pillow Talk shade."

She continues, "The second trend this summer is all about adding pops of vibrant bold colour. Firstly, apply a good-quality foundation like Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Foundation available in more than 44 shades. Mix it with Wonderglow Primer, also by Charlotte Tilbury, to achieve a fresh, dewy glow. This provides a good base and then, if you want to build up colour, it's all about working with complementary tones. I highly recommend the Liquid Blush in Torrid by Nars which is a shimmering coral creme blush that works beautifully on dark and light skin tones." 

Emily adds, "Whatever lipstick shade you pick to finish your look, make sure it's a strong one. My top tip is to be sure to finish with a good setting spray like Prep + Prime by Mac, especially in warmer weather."

When it comes to summer hair styles, Emily has some advice for those, too. "For your hair, why not opt for a sleek and shiny side bun with plenty of volume which works well with a bronzed look? Finish with a shine spray like L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART Ring Light, the first micro-dispersed professional spray for the lightest effect. If you're blessed with natural curls, I'd recommend using a Moroccan curl defining cream and finish by adding a little glamour with a jewelled hair slide."
