Wedding Makeup Styles for your D-Day

Brides-to-be may spend months creating their wedding day looks. In many cases, the energy it takes to find the perfect wedding gown, shoes, jewelry, and hairstyle leaves a bride too exhausted to think about makeup.

But, this is a mistake. Makeup, more than other details, can add beauty, style, and charm.

It is truly the finishing touch to any makeover. Magazines, articles, and videos offer makeup inspiration, but making sense of all the information can be a difficult. So, for brides who are new to makeup, or simply looking for a place to begin, here is a list of makeup styles for the big day.

Dramatic

A bride who loves glamour may be interested in a dramatic makeup style. Unlike other styles that choose a few features to enhance, dramatic makeup focuses on accentuating all areas: eyebrows, eyes, lips, and cheeks.

The traditional red lip is one characteristic of this look; others include thick and full lashes, shimmery eye-shadow, dark eyebrows, and contoured cheekbones. Actresses, such as Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, are famous for this classic style.

It has even made a comeback through celebrities like Kim Kardashian. And, the best part about dramatic makeup is its timelessness.

Sexy Eyes

Confident brides who like big lashes, smokey eyes, or shaped brows do not have to give these things up. Despite common belief, there is sexy wedding makeup. The trick is to use techniques that modify sexier makeup styles to make them wedding-appropriate.

One way is to focus on a particular feature. Many brides want to draw attention to their eyes by adding black liner to their lashline and a dark shadow to define their crease. With this look, it is best to downplay the lips and cheeks. Lipcolour and blush are fine, but it should not stand out. By focusing on one area, brides avoid wearing too much makeup.

Trendy

Wedding trends come and go, but brides interested in fashion may want to have fun with a trendy makeup style. Bold lip-colours, shadows, and mascaras are a craze showing up in many magazines and ads.

When applied artistically, a bright pink lip or blue-tinted mascara can look beautiful. Statement colours, however, are only one example.

Choosing to pick a trendy style opens up many possibilities such as retro, boho, vintage, punk, goth, and minimal looks. Trendy makeup styles are not for all brides. They connect your wedding to the moment in time it took place, which can be an advantage to some and a disadvantage to others.

Natural

Some brides-to-be prefer a subdued look. Those who wish to wear makeup, but little of it, should consider a natural style. This style focuses on creating a natural-looking glow through sparkling highlights and faint colours that blend into the skin.

Natural makeup compliments outdoor or beachy wedding themes. The fresh and dewy foundation, light eye makeup, and tinted lip altogether produce an ethereal appearance.

Just like picking out the right hairstyle, deciding on wedding makeup is an important wedding preparation. There are magazines, articles, and videos filled with advice, but it can be challenging to grasp the many styles.

Dividing makeup into four categories- dramatic, sexy, trendy, and natural — is a basic way to understand makeup options. With a vision in mind, a bride-to-be can begin searching for a makeup artist. At Sapphire Makeup and Hair Creations
