Finding the wedding dress is pretty straight forward, but what about bridal makeup? Your wedding day makeup needs to be a more glamorous version of you. Yes, the goal is to look like you, just enhanced.

One of the biggest makeup trends in the wedding world is the nude look. The goal is to make your skin appear flawless yet also bare and minimal.  The knack is to bring out your best facial features with light contouring.  Another trend that’s gaining popularity is the vintage-inspired look, where one part of you (usually your lips or eyes) is highlighted a little more than usual. No matter what the trends suggest, at the end of the day, you should rock whatever look you feel sexy, confident, and beautiful in, because afterall, it is your wedding. Discuss with your makeup artist in advance to figure out your best fit.  Here are some beautiful bridal makeup examples we admire, and we hope all of you lovelies will find your ideal makeup look.
