Sophie also reveals that the most wanted mascara for brides is Chanel's Le Volume Waterproof Mascara. 'I often use this in the trial and brides always fall in love.'

Jo Malone told us the best selling scents for brides are their lace covered bottles, made with weddings in mind. The most popular being the Peony & Blush Suede and Orange Blossom fragrances.
Suits Everyone Lippie

Now that we all know the wedding make-up you should never wear (including red lippie), there's only one shade that is pretty perfect for all brides - for any age or skin tone. MAC's classic lipstick in Peach Blossom is a firm fave with brides.
Sophie tells us, 'girls want something subtle on their wedding day, and this colour is great as it really enhances the natural colour of their lips. It's not too matte, but has a light sheen - so it's not sticky when you kiss the groom.'
