10 Gorgeous Wedding Makeup Looks
It’s your special day, and you get to be a princess who is all dolled up, whether it’s for the ball or the beach! There are so many different gorgeous wedding makeup looks that you can choose from. To start narrowing down the look you want to go for, pull your favorite makeup stylings from magazines or Pinterest and study them closely to decide on your bridal-makeup purchases.
Ask yourself questions like, ‘matte foundation or dewy skin?’ and ‘lots of eye makeup or no eye makeup?’.
Then, book a pre-trial with your makeup artist, and make sure you see yourself in the light — outside, indoors, bright sun or dark night — that you’ll be in on your wedding day.
Also, consider keeping your makeup artist around post-ceremony. They’ll be able to put you back together for family photos after crying during the ceremony and before entering the reception.
Another must: make sure to frequently re-apply lip color. If you are not carrying a purse, have your maid of honor keep your lipstick in her purse or give one to your groom to slip into his jacket pocket for easy access.
The following are 10 beautiful bridal makeup looks to get your beauty juices flowing!
