Deciding on your bridal makeup is the last step to completing your wedding day look. It all starts with the wedding dress however, choosing the perfect wedding makeup look for your big day can be tricky. With so many styles and looks to choose from, deciding which one would you go for can make things more complicated.
We always want brides to choose the makeup that can make them stand out while also showing off their strongest features but importantly that they still feel and look like themselves.
Here are the top trendy romantic wedding makeup looks that you can rock during your wedding day.
Natural Wedding Makeup
Great for brides that don’t wear makeup everyday.
Natural soft bridal makeup can ensure you that it would last the whole day since it focuses on giving you tender, dewy skin, slightly flushed cheeks, and neutral-coloured eyeshadows. If preferred, you can still opt for a soft smokey eye and achieve that natural look by using neutral shades of brown and pink. A nude-coloured lipstick can also avoid smudges on your lips after your and your partner’s ceremonial kiss.
Basically, a natural bridal makeup look can keep you from retouching from time to time because it won’t have any obvious focal point but it is able to show off your most beautiful and natural features.
Classic Wedding Makeup
If you want to look timeless, elegant, and sophisticated, we always suggest going for a classic wedding makeup look.
It’s super easy to achieve this look as well. Choose classy-looking eye makeup that emphasises your eye shape with velvety colours, a simple eyeliner to soften your look. Make the eyes look bigger with natural looking false eyelashes, try individual lashes, they are super comfortable to wear all day. Complete your classic look with rosy pink lipstick and add a little blush of the same colour as your lips!
Dramatic Wedding Makeup
Dramatic makeup for wedding ceremonies is the exact opposite of simple wedding makeup, it works well for girls that love makeup and wear a full makeup look every day and also for cultural weddings. A lot of indian brides love dramatic makeup as it works well with their traditional wedding sarees and Lehengas.
Brides who go for dramatic makeup can remain romantic yet make a statement at the same time. Full and thick lashes accented by black eyeliner, plus a smokey eyeshadow, and a nude lipstick colour can be your go-to look if you want to keep all focus on the eyes but a stronger lip will also work well.
You can also dust yourself with a shiny bronzer to add a more dramatic effect to your bridal makeup. To accentuate your cheekbones, add some bronzer, that is slightly darker than your skin tone just, below them. Peach or a similar colour will complement a warm skin tone. For a cool skin tone, soft earthy tones work best!
Vintage Wedding Makeup
If you want a retro style for your makeup, you can always go for a vintage wedding makeup look. Think 50’s makeup , Marilyn Monroe , Greta Garbo Audrey Hepburn.
It may look well….vintage but it adds a super soft and aesthetic look to any woman.
To achieve this look all you need is a dramatic winged eyeliner adapted to your individual eye shape, a brown to neutral-coloured eye makeup , finished off with lashes that elongate your eye. A well groomed brow will frame the eyes and a cherry-coloured lipstick to enhance the lip. This look in completed by contouring the cheeks and adding soft blush.
It’s a classic look for brides who want to appear soft and delicate on their wedding day.
Glamorous Wedding Makeup
If you want to make a statement and be the star of the night (or day), you can always go for glamorous-looking bridal makeup.
The key to achieving this makeup look is by playing up the eyes but keeping it soft yet flirty at the same time. Keeping your brows natural but well defined and your cheeks sharply contoured would give this look that red carpet feel. Choose eye makeup with shades of gold and brown and some glittering effects. Don’t forget to apply thick mascara on your upper and lower eyelashes as well and finish off with a full set of lashes. Go for a bold lip.
Bohemian Wedding Makeup
The bohemian wedding makeup also called BOHO look is suited to a beach wedding or an eclectic rustic country wedding. It’s for the bride that dresses a bit boho day to day and is defined by being beautiful but relaxed looking, the right hairstyle is needed to complete the Boho look.
It keeps your face looking natural while highlighting your most beautiful features. You can easily achieve this look by giving your skin a dewy and glowing look while choosing darker tones for your eye makeup for a soft smokey eye look. For the blush, it is best to stick with neutral shades, including browns, bronzes, and taupes, to complement your natural complexion. A natural rosy pink lipstick or a colour close to your own lip would complete this look.
Again, any type of wedding makeup would look super romantic on any bride but it needs to compliment the wedding gown and you need to feel confident and beautiful wearing it.
