Modern Bridal Makeup

Compared to traditional makeup, which is explained below, modern makeup tends to be more flexible. Although this also depends on your style and preferences and whether or not you would like bold or soft makeup.

Just like modern prewedding makeup, bridal makeup does not only enhance your features, but adds to the flattering features as well. 

 

The bold bridal makeup relies on bold eye makeup. The eyes are often the area that is used as a statement to make your appearance even more flattering. The use of thick and curly eyelashes will further support the eye makeup. You can also combine eye makeup by wearing contact lenses that match the wedding dress. To balance the bold eye look, choose a nude lipstick and light colored blush. For a more glamorous look, choose an eyeshadow with a metallic color, to achieve the look with soft lipstick and heavy use of liquid highlighter on the shoulder to give a glowy appearance. 

​

The soft bridal makeup relies on the complexion of your skin rather than the eyes. The classic and glowy makeup is usually used and what you can also achieve with the modern prewedding makeup. This style displays makeup that is not excessive as the makeup artist would use neutral and earthy colors such as brown or nude for the eyes, blush, and pink to nude lipstick to blend in with your skin and give you a soft result. Some makeup artists can provide a glowy look as well by using highlighter on the high points of your face, but not as excessive as the glam look.
