We’re feeling refreshed by the honesty of new beauty brand The Ordinary, with
its focus on functional beauty without the bumph. Products are branded with the name of their active ingredient; the packaging tells you what they are and what they do, in simple, factual terms; and they’re cheap as chips … but much better for your skin. For an instant hydration boost, brides should be all over Hyaluronic Acid 2% +B5, €6.90 at victoriahealth.com.

It washes off but stays put beforehand, so won’t end up on your white frock … and boy, does it give you killer pins, €37.50 at cloud10beauty.com.
