If you’re planning a winter wedding, make sure your makeup look is exactly right. You might hope your wedding date is still safe from the coronavirus, or you may have changed things a bit and opted for a Zoom wedding, or private home wedding. Either way, your look is everything and we’re here to help you get it perfect.
This winter, sultry, edgy and bold is the way to go. Colder temperatures call for warmer looks. However, you don’t have to go for the cliche dark red lips. You can even go for the icy snow queen-look and opt for nude lips. We’re seeing a lot of plum, smokey rose and bronze-nude. Take a look at these fabulous lip looks:

Couples determined to marry amid the coronavirs pandemic have been forced to get creative with their nuptials. One pair opted for a unique drive-in movie theatre as the perfect location to bring the love and encourage social distancing.
Bri and Lindsey Leaverton from Austin, Texas were meant to marry on April 10, 2020. However, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic threw a spanner in the works.
“We had everything planned down to a tee,” Lindsey told Buzzfeed News. “We were supposed to get married on 4.10.20, Good Friday, because nothing says, ‘Happy Easter’ like a good old lesbian wedding.”
Their wedding planner then came up with the idea of having the wedding at a drive-in movie theatre, which will allow more guests and follow social distancing rules.
They settled on Doc’s Drive In Theatre in nearby Buda, Texas, which was marked as an essential service and thus allowed to remain open as they also serve food for pickup.
They tied the knot on April 28, with about 85 cars of guests in attendance. Guests stayed in their cars for the entire event. They also decorated their cars in celebration, and showed up in their pajamas as per the brides’ requests.Guests were served champagne and popcorn by theatre staff wearing gloves and face masks.
The ceremony was livestreamed on the two theatre screens, as well as on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube so that those not in attendance could still witness the big day.
Following the ceremony, musician Lindsey surprised her new wife with an original song.

While the wedding was not was they had originally envisioned, it was still a special day they will cherish forever.
“It was above and beyond anything we could’ve dreamed of,” Lindsey told Buzzfeed News. ”I’m so glad it happened the way it did. Our whole theme has been: we’re making some really tasty lemonade out of some really rotten lemons.”

For the couples having a tough time being separated for such a long period, we understand your pain! Being away from your significant other is never easy, and now you have no choice about the matter.
This may leave you feeling down and out, as the distances puts strain on your relationship. Maybe you’re fighting more, or maybe you’re just dying to be by each other’s sides. Whatever the reason, you’re probably looking for some solutions by now! Especially since we’re unsure of how long the stages of lockdown will last, and in which stage we will be able to visit people socially.
To help you ease the longing for each other, there are some apps and devices that you could download or buy (respectively), to help your relationship during lockdown.
Here are some of our favourites, to ensure you’re feeling the love no matter the distance:
Apps:
Loklok
For those couples who enjoy leaving little notes for each other, this ones for you. Essentially, the app gives you access to each other’s lockscreens, but not in a creepy way!
It allows you to upload photos, do doodles or write cute messages on your partner’s lockscreen. When they look at their phone, they’ll see the sweet message you’ve left for them. The app is only available for android users.
Rave
Just because you’re separated in distance, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a movie together. Rave allows couples to stream videos together, and gives you a chat bar underneath the video for your running commentary.
You can use it to watch Netflix, YouTube, Vimeo and more. If you’re wanting to watch something you own a copy of, upload the video to Dropbox or Google Drive and you’ll be able to watch it together!
Available for iOS and Android.
Lovedays
Using this app, you can see countdowns to all important events in your relationship such as your anniversary, upcoming vacation, or the next time you’ll see each other.
Available on iTunes and Google Play.
NUJJ
A simple app, but probably the most adorable. All you do is shake your phone when you’re missing your love, and they will receive a little vibration on their end. Cute! Right?
Tech:
Friendship lamps
Similar to the NUJJ app, but with a more visual expression of emotion, a friendship lamp will let you know your partner is missing you. When one of you touches the lamp, the other’s lamp lights up. It will melt your heart to know that you’re being thought of.
Purchase here for R3 109.
Pillow Talk
If you don’t like sleeping alone, then this device has got you covered. Pillow Talk is a wristband you wear when you sleep, it recognizes your heartbeat and sends it to your partner in real time.
You download the app, slip the band around your wrist, and put the speaker under your pillow, and there you go! It’s like you can hear them sleeping next to you.
