Darphin Intral Redness Relief Soothing Serum

Stress can be a major skin-nasty for any bride-to-be, so if you\'ve noticed a change in your skin condition recently, it\'s likely that stress is the culprit. Relax, and reach for a skincare regime aimed at sensitive-skinned souls. Darphin\'s new Intral range uses soothing plant extracts like chamomile, lavender and peony to calm irritations - with no added colour or fragrance.

ChinaLife Pearl Cream

A chance to incorporate the ‘pearl\' theme of your wedding into your beauty regime! Did you know that finely crushed pearls were once the exclusive skincare secret of the empresses of ancient China? And this little pot of pearly prettiness uses only the highest grade of fresh water pearls to enhance tone, gently exfoliate, minimise the appearance of pores and retain moisture. It seems these ChinaLife peeps are really on to something.

Chanel Matte Lumiere

Coverage is key when it comes to the perfect photograph, so to flaunt some flawlessness on your big day, look no further than Chanel. Light has always been the main focus of the beauty heavyweight\'s make-up, and where other matte finish foundations leave skin dull, drying and heavy - which does not a good photo make - Mat Lumiére offers an immaculate, long-lasting hold without compromising on comfort or radiance. Perfect!

£25, available nationwide

YSL Touche Eclat

If you want to erase bags, shadows and circles on your big day, bag yourself this cult class act. It\'s filled with so much light-reflecting pigment, you\'ll feel confident in the knowledge that what lies beneath will never see the light of day, least of all in your wedding snaps.
