What Type of Bride Do You Want to Be?

​Weddings in the United States are becoming increasingly diverse, with more women opting for unique looks rather than a classic style. Let’s take a look at different unique makeup styles that you can choose from for your big day. Before we delve into that, however, just a quick reminder! Skin care is essential for optimal makeup, so make sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide to the pre-wedding skin care routine.

Minimalist Makeup
Society puts so much pressure on women to look perfect from a young age. As we become increasingly aware of this, many of us want to challenge expectations in all spheres of our lives. Weddings are no exception! A minimalist bridal look emphasizes elegance and natural beauty. It is free of elaborate gowns and hairstyles. Let’s explore what minimalist makeup would look like. 
 
It would include a tinted moisturizer and a natural lip color, as well as a light blush on the cheeks. Neutral tones and a little coverage are the cornerstones of this makeup style.

Glamorous Makeup
If minimalist makeup isn’t your thing and you prefer bold and bright looks, you should consider glamorous makeup. One of the essential components of this style is the smokey eye. This is the style of makeup when dark eyeshadow is applied to the top and bottom eyelids and blended for a stunning effect. 
 
For your wedding, the smokey eye can either be warm or rich black, depending on how daring you want to appear. Neutral colors for the skin and lips would help keep the focus on the eyes. Don’t worry about your eyebrows. You can leave them bushy and natural!

Beach Makeup
Are you getting married in the summer? Have you booked a wedding venue near the shoreline? In that case, beach makeup could be an ideal choice for you. It will align well with the relaxed atmosphere of a romantic wedding by the sea. 
 
Beach makeup usually consists of lightweight and waterproof products. You don’t want your mascara melting in the sun! To achieve the right look for a beach wedding, you want to go for colors that add subtle shimmers. You should also pick natural-looking lipstick and neutral eyeshadows.
Gothic MakeupDo you want to forgo the traditional route and fully embrace your individuality? Do you want to look bold and striking? Do you want to make a statement? Then you should opt for gothic makeup. 
 
The main features of this style include deep red lipstick, dark eyeshadows, full lashes, and porcelain skin.

Don’t Forget a Trial!
​One of the most common mistakes brides make is not agreeing to a trial. You may have fallen in love with a certain makeup style; however, it is essential to see how that style will look on you—ahead of time.
