Wedding season is here, and you’re probably wondering what makeup look to go for. Whether you’re a bridesmaid or a guest, you want to look your best without stealing the spotlight from the bride. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create a stunning makeup look that’s perfect for any wedding.
Before we get started, let’s talk about the basics. When it comes to wedding makeup, less is more. You don’t want to look overdone, but you also don’t want to look like you’re not wearing any makeup at all. The key is to find the right balance.
For this look, we’re going to focus on the eyes. We’ll keep the rest of the face simple and natural. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Eye primer
- Neutral eyeshadow palette
- Black eyeliner
- Mascara
- False lashes (optional)
Step 1: Prime Your Eyes
The first step is to prime your eyes. This will help your eyeshadow stay in place all day and prevent creasing. Apply a small amount of eye primer to your eyelids and blend it in with your finger.
Step 2: Apply Eyeshadow
Next, we’re going to apply eyeshadow. Start by applying a light, neutral shade all over your lid. Then, apply a slightly darker shade to the crease of your eye. Blend the two shades together with a fluffy brush.
For a more dramatic look, you can add a darker shade to the outer corner of your eye and blend it inwards. This will create a smoky effect.
Step 3: Line Your Eyes
Now it’s time to line your eyes. Use a black eyeliner to line your upper lash line. You can create a winged effect if you like, but keep it subtle. We don’t want to go too bold for a wedding.
Step 4: Apply Mascara and False Lashes
Apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes. If you want to take it up a notch, you can add false lashes. Just make sure they’re not too long or too thick. We want to keep it natural.
Step 5: Finish with a Nude Lip
For the final touch, we’re going to keep the lips simple. Apply a nude lipstick or lip gloss to complete the look. And that’s it! You’re ready to attend the wedding with confidence.
