Beauty for the Modern Bride

There are so many makeup combinations for you to choose from, and it can feel a little overwhelming, especially if you are a bride that doesn’t reach for makeup every day.

Current bridal makeup trends

If you don’t know where to start, have a little browse online and look at the current bridal makeup trends. For the modern, contemporary bride there is a big trend towards natural, glowing skin. An even skin tone, subtle contour and a light blush make for the perfect bridal complexion.

When looking at adding a pop of color, think bronze, and champagne tones for your eyes, finished with a soft pink or nude glossy lip.

Today’s modern bridal makeup is all about that soft glam and enhancing your natural beauty. But don’t be afraid to go a little out of the box too. If you love a bold lip, or something more dramatic for your eyes, go for it!

Also, makeup can be more than just bridal looks when it comes to your wedding. Perfect for those boho, or festival style weddings, Paige Jami can add an element of sparkle to your wedding day.

Don’t skip out on the makeup trial

Your bridal makeup trial is really important. It guarantees that you will get the makeup you love on your wedding day. It is the ideal time to talk to your makeup artist about what you love, and don’t love.

Before your appointment take some time to research some makeup styles you love. Pinterest is a great place to start, as well as bridal magazines and websites. Check out influencers too! They will be hot on what’s trending when it comes to all things bridal, including makeup.

Start your skincare routine early

You will want your skin to be at its best on the day of your wedding. And your makeup will only be as good as your skin. You will want to start your wedding skincare routine about six months before your wedding day. This may include a switch up in your usual skincare products, as well as facials and other treatments.

Speak to your makeup artists about any treatments you are having, so that the products and techniques they use on the day will be the best possible for you.

Working with the experts at Mary Kay can help with that! In addition to a full range of day-of beauty makeup, Mary Kay offers a skincare line that can get your skin wedding-ready. Mary Kay Beauty Consultants we have both the expertise and products to make you feel your best on your wedding day. When working with a Mary Kay consultant, you will also receive a complimentary skincare analysis, and a makeover session as well.

Stick to what you know

It can be tempting to go out there and try something completely new for the day of your wedding. But sometimes, it’s best to stick with what you know. If you know that you love something more subtle and natural when it comes to makeup, stick with that for your wedding day. The last thing you want is to look back at your photos and regret your makeup choices.

Think about the time of year

When choosing your bridal makeup you will want to consider the time of year you are getting married. Whether it’s a destination wedding, or your wedding date is in the height of summer, your makeup will want to reflect that. Your makeup artist will be able to advise on the best products that will help your makeup last all day and into the night as you hit that dance floor!
