I love the rich history this wedding venue has! Located in the heart of the city centre, Newcastle Castle offers up a quiet and picturesque setting for any special day. Dating back to 1080, it's where the story of the city began; the venue has been graced by kings and nobles while steering the course of history in the North East.

I love this make-up look created by Victoria Holdstock Makeup Artist. Here's her top tips for creating the perfect base.

She says, "Skincare is vital here, making sure our skin is thoroughly cleansed of dirt, oils, and excess sebum every day will help reduce the appearance of pores. Exfoliating weekly with acids such as salicylic will also help to unclog them and always remember to wear your SPF daily, especially when using acids. SPF will also act as a prevention, stopping UV rays from breaking down our collagen and elastin."
