4 Bridal Makeup Ideas for Your Special Day

Every bride wants to look extra special on her wedding day. Whether you’re planning to do your makeup yourself or you want professional help, you’ll need time, skill and a couple of trial runs to get a look that you’re comfortable with.

Here are 4 makeup ideas to help you achieve that all-important ‘wow’ factor on your special day.

1. Natural

This is the most popular makeup choice for brides.

A careful application of subtle and natural shades are used to contour your face and highlight your best features.

Natural makeup complements any style of dress or colour scheme resulting in a perfect look of timeless elegance. However, it takes a degree of patience and skill to achieve the ‘barely there’ look, so if you’re unsure how to apply your makeup correctly it’s worth hiring a professional makeup artist to do it for you.

2. Vintage

If you want to make a dramatic, bolder statement on your wedding day, go for a retro glam look inspired by the Hollywood stars of the 50s and 60s. 

Eyes need special attention and need to be carefully contoured with precision. Apply false lashes and a deep red lip colour for an extra touch of glamour. Creating the perfect vintage look needs precision and skill, so consult a professional to do the job perfectly.

3. Romantic

Dusky rose and light pinks are perfect for a romantic, youthful bridall ook. Complement it with a softer, natural hairstyle, adorned with flowers.

4. Colour Themed

If your wedding has a specific colour theme, you can incorporate it into your wedding makeup. Choose softer tones of eye makeup that complement the decorations or wedding flower colours.
