Glamorous Wedding Makeup
GLAMOROUS WEDDING MAKEUP
By Kim Nase
Striking makeup is a must for a glowing and glamorous bride. A glamorous look can be achieved with soft, berry-colored lips and accessories such as classic, diamond or drop earrings. Other makeup tips include a rouged cheek and dramatic eye, a notorious makeup look throughout the roaring twenties.
THE LIP
Lips should either be soft and elegant, in shades of pale, dusty or popping pink, or exaggerated in a lined shade of bright red. When planning a glamorous makeup look, play up your pout with a classic red color such as MAC's Sheen Supreme lipstick, in New Temptation, or Proenza Schouler lipstick, in Pinkfringe.
SKIN
Skin should be milky-white with soft color on the cheeks. Makeup trends in the 1920s included faces doused in powders, to achieve a snow-white visage. Rouged cheeks set off the soft palette of the skin.
Stick to tried-and-true makeup tips to keep wedding makeup photo ready and looking great all day. Makeup that stays on, and gives that timeless wedding glow with elegance, is what you are after.
Meet with your makeup artist for a makeup trial run to experiment with color and to discuss what your vision is for the look. Be sure to include these big-day beauty products in your glamorous wedding makeup plan. Select colors that look great on you for smoky eye makeup and lip color.
