This lovely bridal inspiration comes to us from East Sussex hair and makeup pros, the Beauty Ninjas. The shoot was created to highlight the refurbished bridal suite and function rooms of the charming Lansdowne Hotel, which were designed to reflect the vintage style of the hotel but with a clean, contemporary, update. As such, the hair and makeup are a stunning fusion of vintage and modern, perfect for a contemporary seaside bride.

For the makeup, Claire Reed from the Beauty Ninjas team gave a classic smokey eye a vintage feel, using a palette of taupes and greys. Keeping the lids super light, with feline liner flicks, completed the look, which they complemented with a matte pink lip.

In styling the hair, Claire updated glamorous Hollywood waves into a slightly more contemporary beachy look. This would be the perfect look for a Lansdowne bride, as the hotel enjoys a seafront location with views of Beachy Head, that has also been the backdrop for many a film and television series!
