ISSUE FW’26
In our new FW’26 issue, we take you to the south of France and to Renée and Jan’s wedding, which was a celebration of love, friendship and style. We also sit down with Louis Abel founder Jimmy Loutfi for an in-depth interview about how his own wedding rings marked the start of a new chapter in fine jewellery, and look ahead to New York Bridal Fashion Week for the silhouettes, details and ideas that will set the tone for the coming season.

Make-up Tips for a Long-Lasting Glow
Do you want to look radiant all day long on your wedding day – from the first photo to the last dance? Here we share our top tips for wedding make-up that stays fresh, beautiful and glowing all day (and night) long.
Tip 1 – Prepare and prime! Hydrated skin is the foundation of a long-lasting and fresh wedding look. Invest in a good skincare routine well in advance and use a primer on the day to even out your skin and ensure your make-up stays flawless from morning to night.
Tip 2 – Waterproof – everything! Tears of joy, warm hugs and lots of laughter are all part of your wedding day, so go for make-up that really lasts. Choose waterproof mascara and a long-lasting lipstick, so you can focus on enjoying yourself – without having to keep touching up your make-up all the time.
Tip 3 – A trial make-up session is a must! By testing your look in advance, you get a chance to tweak the details and make sure the make-up feels right for you. It reduces stress on the wedding day and gives you the confidence to know that you’ll feel like your very best self.
Tip 4 – Highlight – don’t hide! Wedding make-up is all about highlighting what you love about yourself, not hiding behind layers of make-up. Go for a natural glow, beautifully defined eyes and a lip colour that complements your skin tone for a timeless and personalised look.
Tip 5 – Use products that work well with flash. To avoid looking unnaturally pale in your wedding photos, it’s a good idea to choose make-up that works well with camera flash. Avoid foundations with a high SPF, as they often reflect light and can create white patches on your face in photos.
Tip 6 – Set it and forget it! A good setting spray is the final step to ensure your make-up lasts – from the first kiss to the last dance. It locks in your make-up, controls shine and lets you relax and enjoy your day to the full without having to worry about touch-ups.
