The highest priority goes to the bride's wedding look before all the buzz of finding the perfect venue and hiring the best decor and caterers. After successfully finalising your dream wedding dress, you go on incessant scrolling on social media and Pinterest to set up your different looks, like the perfect shoes and the best hairstyle. When every other aspect falls into place, and you feel ready for the big day, the central part that you need to concentrate on finding is the perfect makeup look for your wedding day. Your makeup appearance pulls every single thing together. Without the right makeup, the hairstyle can look shabby, and the wedding dress might not look as bright as you want it to be. Wedding makeup can be defined in many ways. But the primary source of your wedding makeup look is your preference and what you are comfortable with. Some might prefer a "less-in-the-face" approach, but on the other hand, some brides would choose to go all in and want to look bright and shining with bold makeup on their D-day. The importance of wedding makeup is not just the confidence it offers you. It is also about your wedding photography. You must look your best self with your perfect wedding makeup and hair so that the photographs will capture the entire essence of your beauty. Lucky for you, we have got it all. We have rounded up a few inspiring wedding makeup ideas for you to go through if you are a confused bride who is still deciding on which makeup look you want to wear as you walk down the aisle. Let's get into it.
Let's start with the most simple one on the list of hair and makeup for weddings. Everybody loves a no-makeup makeup look. Looking simple yet elegant on your wedding day has been an emerging trend in the community nowadays. A natural palette will always look good, just like a heavy makeup palette. Subtle eye makeup paired with some lovely pink lip shades would be a go-to no-makeup look for your minimalistic wedding day. On the other hand, if you want a sophisticated hair look, go for an updo hair bun with no embellishments. This would blend in perfectly with the no-makeup look.
Some might lack a pop of glow on the bride's face in the wedding pictures. This bronzed wedding makeup look can perfectly balance this. Using bronzer on the high points of your face is the best way to work with natural lighting that looks amazing in the lens. You can pair this look with a beach wave hairdo with sparkly embellishments. This hair and makeup for your wedding would leave the guests in awe and give you a subtle tinted look.
Since most people prefer simple nude bride makeup for their wedding day, the next one on the wedding hair and makeup list is one of the most demanded. This naked hue makeup look takes advantage of the full potential of pastel and nude shades. The look is primarily blush-coloured palettes paired with a peachy lip shade. Next, go for a beautiful french braid with flower embellishments, and voila, you look just like a Disney princess out of a fairytale to complete the total look. When captured under the perfect lighting, this look will be a delight to the eyes to create magic in your wedding album.
Up next on the list of hair and makeup for weddings is the classic smokey eyes look that will make any bride the most ecstatic beauty ever. The best part of doing a smokey eye is the flexibility of it. It can thoroughly blend in with subtle nude makeup but at the same time can rock a bold full-on bridal makeup too. Nowadays, hair and makeup are being experimented with to create new and unique looks, but smokey eyes are something that never goes out of style. Also, a smokey-eyed makeup look can carry both a loose hairdo and a ponytail.
As we said, we love to experiment with new hair and makeup looks for weddings & pre-weddings. Every bride would love to stand out from the crowd and look her best self on her special day. The next one on the list of hair and makeup lets you do just that. A tinge of copper shade makes everything a summer look. You can pair copper eyeshadows with heavy eyeliner makeup and brown lip shades. Of course, the best hairdo would be a braided updo with a bun decorated with your beautiful veil to glam it up more.
Brides try to achieve a glass lookalike skin months before the wedding so that they can glow differently on the wedding day. What if I tell you that you can get this glass skin just through makeup? Shocker, isn't it. The next one in the hair and makeup list is just the thing you need for that looking through glass makeup. Wet and glass makeup is the best way to achieve this look. This might not be a conventional way of bride wedding makeup, but we guarantee you ain't regret it. Since it has a dewy finish, you will look fresh as a daisy throughout the wedding ceremony and the wedding reception.
What about a bare face with full Lashes on your big day? Sounds fun? Then this lush eyelashes wedding makeup look is just the thing made for you. Some brides might not prefer full face makeup as it might be heavier for them than usual. For those who like to keep it under the minimalist range, go for full-fledged eyelashes and a thin line of eyeliner to compliment that. And for the hair, go for a side braid and adorn it with some pearl embellishments so that the light makeup on your face can be balanced with the glam on your hair.
Let's try something fruity, shall we? If you want to have summer hair and makeup for your wedding, look no further than this orangy makeup look. This gives the bride a fresh and rejuvenated look as the pictures would look alive and more vibrant. The shaded orange is a magnificent shade and perfectly suitable if your wedding theme is related to summer. Go for fully plush orange shade lips with a golden glitter eyeshadow with a tinge of orange. For the face, use the bronze shaded highlighter to make the lips really pop out, and for the hair, you could do something different, like adding a lightly stoned tiara and your veil. This look would easily complement the whole look for brides who opted for a peach-shaded wedding dress.
Just like how subtle, simple makeup looks to win over the ladies, a defined, sharp look is also a rising trend. This defined hair and makeup look for your wedding will definitely make you stand out from the usual bridal outlook and make you the centre of attraction. To attain a defined look, a slick-back hairdo, preferably a ponytail with gel-polished front partition paired with a strong eyebrow and eye makeup, will do the trick. It is recommended to use dark shades for eye makeup and highlighters to get that sharp look in the wedding pictures.
We all have a particular liking for vintage aesthetics in this new era. So why not combine this love for vintage with your hair and makeup for your wedding day? The idea of doing a makeup look that is vintage yet classy is not bad. Go for a bold lip colour paired with golden eyeshadow, instantly making you look like a princess. If you wear a wedding dress with a sweetheart neckline, do not forget to add some glitter on the collarbones to make you shine bright. You can add big eyelashes and winged eyeliner to dash up the whole look, and to complete the look, do a wavy front portion of your hair and add some dewy gel to it to keep it in place and sum it up with your wedding veil. And there you have it, the perfect retro bride in the 20s.
"Graphic but graceful." It sounds a bit fancy, don't you think? Fancy is precisely what you should go for when looking for hair and makeup look ideas for your wedding day. There are many ways you can make your whole look gracefully graphic. It could be the wedding outfit. It could be the glamorous veil that you have chosen. Added to that, the makeup looks play a huge part. If your wedding attire is not classic white but pastel-shaded and light-coloured, you can go for a graphic eyeliner look. The eyeliner should match the colour of your pastel wedding attire. Add ravishing eyelash makeup to make it look more sharp, and there it is, the perfect graphic makeup look. Your hair should complement this visual aesthetic. It is a ponytail hairdo with no embellishments but has a wet and dewy look to balance it with this amazing makeup look.
How can we not talk about the classic red lips look while discussing the hair and makeup ideas for brides for their dream day? You can never go wrong with classic elegant red lips with bare eyes makeup look. Pairing your bold red lips with your white wedding gown is the best combination ever. Subtle eye makeup is the best choice because you already have the colour pop for the wedding pictures with the red lips. Going barefaced, in this case, won't hurt. If you are obsessed with the colour red and want a hint of red everywhere in the pictures and your outfit, add some red roses to your hair updo bun, which will look magnificent.
Now let's talk about the stylish member of the list of hair and makeup for weddings. The dramatic makeup look. Even though brides prefer subtle looks for their wedding, there are still many folks who want a fully-fledged picturesque outlook for themselves on their wedding day. Bold choices can never go wrong, and they will give you magnanimous, picture-perfect moments you can provide on your wedding albums. Eye makeup is the primal part of the dramatic makeup look. You can go for a fully smokey eye or, even better, a shimmer eyeshadow look with thick eyeliners. To complete the facial look, add the classiest lip shades of maroon and burgundy shades. For the hair, do go for a complete updo bun with tiny braids to cover it and glam it up with a classic white stoned tiara.
Metallic hues are something really out of the box when it comes to hair and makeup for weddings. But, that is precisely why you should go for it. Who doesn't want to look dashing and vibrant on their wedding day, standing out from the cluster of brides? Of course, this would work perfectly if you have a boho-chic wedding theme. The central part of achieving the metallic gradient look is in the eyes. Choose a multi-chromatic glimmer shade for eyeshadows and blend it into the crease to give it a touch of Tinkerbell vibes. And for the lips, go for a blush pink lip shade with loads of gloss that would match your glassy eye makeup. If you want even more pop of colour in your attire, then include some tiny flowers with bright colours on your braided hair, which will give you all the Rapunzel feels.
