Bridal Makeup: Bridal Makeup – A Natural Look With a Glow
Brides who prefer natural, understated makeup on their wedding day may want to opt for a natural glam look as an effortless style choice. A combination of feminine touches such as blush and pink lips create an effortlessly pretty style perfect for free-spirited brides.
To achieve a natural look bridal makeup, give your skin a youthful and glowing appearance by using cream blush and highlighter on the high points of your face such as cheekbones, temples and cupid’s bow. Also try applying curling brown mascara.
Embrace Your Natural Glow
When it comes to bridal makeup, achieving a subtle glow is of utmost importance. When selecting Ilia’s Pillow Talk multi-stick blush or bronzer with its creamy formula for effortless application. A sun-kissed glow can create confidence on any bride’s big day; bronzer can create just that effect for that unforgettable bridal glow!
An ideal combination for creating a natural makeup look is light foundation and tinted moisturiser. To add some shine, highlighter such as OFRA COSMETICS Rodeo Drive should be applied on the highest points of the face such as cheekbones or temples for extra brightness. A wash of rosy cream blush or lipstick in warm peach hues complement red hair beautifully; consider lash clusters to further emphasise eye and lip effects.
Softly Highlighted Skin
At the core of natural wedding makeup lies making sure your skin appears glowing and radiant, and using soft bronzer and blush is key. Cream products tend to blend easily into skin for an unobtrusive sheen; powder products can also work – just be sure to use a large fluffy blush brush so the product spreads evenly!
To achieve a naturally rosy look, practice smiling wide (for all those wedding photos!) and apply creamy blush to the apples of your cheeks before buffing towards your ears. Next, light dust shimmery bronzer over jawline and temples for subtle contouring effect.
Add a pop of colour to your look with a blush that complements or is lighter than your natural lip tone, or by strategically applying freckles as an eye-catching finishing touch to this natural look bridal makeup ensemble.
Softly Smokey Eyes
Brides who prefer natural looks but require something extra dramatic on their special day should opt for soft smokey eye makeup. This look features a delicate wash of colour on the lids with dark liner smudged along the lower lash line to create an eye flick effect. Rosy cheeks and lips add extra punch that elevates this bolder eye makeup style from every day to special event makeup.
Gold eyeshadow adds subtle shimmer to bridal looks while remaining neutral enough for natural wedding makeup styles. A matte lipstick would also work nicely here; just be sure to choose one with creamy and moisturising properties.
Creamy and moisturising blush is another essential to nail the natural wedding makeup trend. Apply a light blush of pink blush with a brush onto the apples of your cheeks, and blend up into your temples for a natural-looking effect.
Bold Lips
Brides looking to achieve natural-looking makeup should opt for bold lips as a statement piece. Select lipstick shades such as soft pink, peachy coral, or rosy red that is brighter than your natural hue; Bite Beauty’s Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment or Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips line’s deep rose shade (both offer comfortable wearability) would work best on wedding days.
If red isn’t your colour, consider an orange-red or scarlet lip shade that complements your skin tone instead. A light fuchsia shade with subtle luminosity works particularly well when worn alongside chiselled cheekbones, thick liner and lush lashes.
Brunettes who can handle more definition in their eyes and lips often opt for bold lips as an eye-catching finisher in natural look bridal makeup looks. Black liner and berry lips add extra impact, elevating any simple bridal ensemble for an unforgettable touch.
