Choosing The Perfect Bridal Makeup Look for You

How to choose a makeup look for your wedding day and what to consider

When it comes to choosing a bridal makeup look for your wedding day, it's important to consider your individual style, the features you want to enhance and what level of makeup you feel comfortable with. As a professional bridal makeup artist, my goal is to create a naturally enhancing makeup look that complements your skin tone and features.

Here are some tips on what to consider when choosing a makeup look for your big day:

1.   Consider your personal style: Are you a boho princess, or a chic and elegant fashionista? When choosing your bridal makeup, look at inspiration pictures that speak to you and your individual taste.

2.   Enhance your features: Choose a wedding makeup look that enhances your best features, such as your eyes, lips or cheekbones. For example, if you want to accentuate your eyes, opt for a subtle smokey eye that highlights their colour, or perhaps a feline eyeliner to exaggerate their shape. If you have full lips, choose a lipstick shade that complements your skin tone and makes them pop.

3.   Keep it natural: The key to a timeless bridal makeup look is to keep it natural and fresh. Aim for a healthy, glowing complexion that enhances your natural beauty without looking too overdone. Opt for neutral shades that complement your skin tone and add a touch of shimmer for a modern twist.

4.   Consider your wedding colour scheme: Whilst your makeup doesn’t need to exactly match your colour theme, it is nice to include some of the tones within your bridal makeup. For example, if you have peach tones in your floral bouquet, consider using a similar colour eye shadow or lipstick as a way of creating a cohesive look. 

5.   Talk to your makeup artist: Consult with your wedding makeup artist about your individual style and the look you want to achieve. They can provide you with ideas and inspiration based on their experience with natural and effortlessly elegant bridal makeup. It might help to look through their gallery or Instagram page for examples that align with your style.

By following these tips, you can choose a makeup look that complements your skin tone and features, and makes you feel confident and beautiful on your special day. On your wedding day you want a makeup look that is fresh, natural and modern, and with the help of a professional makeup artist you can achieve a look that enhances your individual style and beauty!
