Natural Bridal Eyes Makeup
Use soft and smudged eyeliner for natural bridal eye makeup. Lash extensions should be fluffy individual lashes that blend in with the natural lashes. Sculpting of the eye socket should be with natural bronze or gentle rosy tones.
A soft smokey eye can still look natural if it isn't too dark, so choose a medium-dark shade of brown, gray, khaki, or rose and apply softly across the lid for a delicate wash of color.

Natural Bridal Makeup Brown Eyes
Dark eyes look fantastic with the lash line smoked out using super-dark eyeshadow, such as deep brown, plum, or navy. Take a hint of which eyeshadow tones to use from the colors that exist in your eyes.
For example, if there are starbursts of amber in your irises, use a bit of shimmer on the lids in the same amber tones to compliment the eyes beautifully.

Ideas For Makeup With Matte Lips
Use matte lipstick for classic natural bridal makeup, but ensure that your lips are moisturized well before the makeup application - matte colors can accentuate dry flaky lips.
Matte colors don't suit if the lips are thin, as they flatten and minimize them further. Choose non-drying yet long-lasting matte formulas such as Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick.

If you have non-matte lipsticks you can turn them into matte by tapping in some powder on your lips after you have applied the lipstick. Apply with a flat brush, such as my Eyeshadow K-Brush. Expert Tip

Beautiful Makeup For Brides With Long Lashes
Brides love having long fluttery lashes so for those of you who aren't blessed with them naturally I would recommend have individual lash clusters for longer natural-looking lashes. For brides who do have long lashes, the volume can be increased with strategically placed lash clusters too.

Long lashes suit so many eye makeup styles, however, if you want them to be a feature to ensure your eyeshadow isn't dark, as they won't be visible against a dark smokey eye. Expert Tip
Fresh Face Bridal Makeup
This soft wedding makeup is all about naturally luminous skin. Don't use powder shimmers but opt for liquid glossy drops, such as ICONIC London Illuminator. You can even add a few into your foundation, and it will give your skin a gently luminous complexion.
Cream blusher in a color that suits your natural color type works beautifully. Some of you will suit warm peachy blushers, some cool pinks. Use sheer lip balm lipstick for a gentle and fresh wash of color.

Graceful Natural Makeup Ideas
To create a nude bridal makeup look it is important to understand your color type: is your skin yellow- or blue-based (so, warm or cool)? If you apply warm colors on a cool skin tone the colors will clash and won't look harmonious.
To achieve a harmonious nude look, only use colors that flatter you. Take hints from your hair color, your eyes, your lips, and the other natural colors appearing on your face. A nude look is all about the makeup discreetly enhancing your features, without appearing like you are wearing strong colors.
For example, choose a lipstick that is a similar color to your own natural lip. This way your lips will appear defined as well as being in harmony with your natural coloring.

Tender Rosy Bridal Makeup Looks
This is the most frequently requested bridal look. Rosy tones are soft and romantic so many brides opt for them. Apply a wash of rosy cream or powder eyeshadow on your lids (the Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette - Pillow Talk has a lovely warm pink) and use a similar color on your lips and cheeks for a harmonious finish.
If you are using warm peachy pinks, stick with them throughout the makeup look (don't use blue-based cool pinks on your lids and then peachy lipstick on your lips as this will clash). Also it is perfect ideas for tan skin bridal makeup natural-looking.
