Minimalist Bridal Makeup  

Added sparkle and lashes not for you? Totally cool! You’ve been super chill throughout the whole wedding planning process, so why change now? A wash of taupe or rose gold eyeshadow to define your eyes in photos and a coat of good tear-proof mascara (tubing is the best!) and you're set! Try out Pretty Big Deal mascara for your big day!

Fresh and Dewy Makeup for Spring Brides 

Spring calls for something light and soft peachy pink!  Try a classic romantic look, with a flush of warmth in all the right places. Pro tip - remember that pink shadow could have different undertones depending on eye colour and skin tone, so choose carefully.  

The ultimate romantic eye look is completed with a trendy whispy half lash like- Would I Lie. 
Did you know that’s the lash in our Effortless Kit (which is a bridal favourite for the wedding day and bridesmaids proposal boxes)!

Summer Wedding Makeup 

Play with warmer tones on the face like mauve, plum and taupe smokey eyes. Finish it off with soft sparkle and a lightweight lash like Cloud Nine or A New Leaf to compliment the look.

Bridal Makeup for a Winter Wedding 

‘Tis the season for a bold lip and icy highlights. This will bring depth to the eyes, which can be further emphasized with a striking lash like serendipity or poker face.

Warm Tones for an Autumn Wedding  

Warm and bronzed with cinnamon tones. There’s nothing better than a classic bridal look with winged liner.  Pro tip - you may cry - that's why bridal MUA’s LOVE velour latex-free lash adhesive and lash & go eyeliner for an outstanding all-day hold.

Makeup for Every Eye Colour

Surprise, surprise brown eyeshadow or soft brown liner flatters every eye colour depending on the undertone of brown you use (warm or cool tone). If you don’t wear eye makeup daily, this is a natural and soft option that looks great on everyone.  

If You’re Eloping...  

We get it, big weddings and all eyes on you aren't for everyone. This special day should be shared with just you and your partner. Should you choose to have the occasion super intimate and do your own makeup worry not because you're an artist!

Take inspiration from other looks on this list, Instagram feed or do a look you feel comfortable doing and embrace it- it‘s YOUR classic look! 

Want to elevate up your everyday? The easiest way is with some lashes! The Effortless Kit or Magnetic Lash Kit is travel-friendly and has EVERYTHING you need to apply lashes easily.  

Classic Bridesmaids Look 

Bridesmaids are complimentary to the glowing bride on her special day. The makeup look should be elegant, suit everyone's features but not overstep the main event. A combination of pinks and taupes are often popular because they suit everyone's eye colour and skin tones.   

Our Effortless Kit features a mini applicator, adhesive and best-selling Would I Lie? Lash, making it a top choice for bridesmaids gifts!

Makeup for Wedding Guests 

Maybe you stumbled upon this list to get inspiration... even if it's not YOUR day! Of course, you never want to take attention away from the bride herself, but you can definitely feel glam. A classic makeup look with rosy cheeks, glossy lips and a soft half lash are very trendy at the moment. Get this look with an Effortless half lash like Short & Sweet or Mini Me.

The makeup look you wear on your wedding day should be something YOU feel beautiful in and comfortable wearing, talk to your makeup artist or if you're more DIY try a few looks beforehand to find the look that suits the day best! Whether you wear Velour lashes or not, your eyes should sparkle beyond the photos.
