Which make-up for your wedding?
It is important to find a wedding make-up that suits you, the theme of your wedding and of course the rest of your look. What do you like to wear in everyday life or for festive occasions? If you never wear red lipstick, you shouldn't necessarily start at your wedding.
Make-up elements that make up your everyday look, such as eyeliner, should also be included in your wedding make-up. Otherwise you will quickly feel uncomfortable on your wedding day.
If you like make-up and are confident in it, you can also do your own wedding make-up. Read our tips for long-lasting make-up and, if necessary, get advice from a make-up artist beforehand.
Discreet wedding make-up
A discreet wedding make-up emphasises your assets and thus underlines your natural beauty. Apple cheeks, soft pastel shades and a fresh lip colour characterise this bridal make-up.
Natural bridal make-up suits many wedding themes such as rustic, shabby chic and of course registry office weddings or garden parties. In addition, subtle, natural wedding make-up is ideal if you also like things to be natural in everyday life. It is important for the discreet bridal make-up to have good skin care in advance so that the skin looks perfect on the big day.
Retro Vintage Wedding Make-up
Vintage or retro is just as popular as a wedding make-up theme. If you have decided to have a vintage wedding, a retro wedding make-up is just right. But vintage wedding make-up can also look beautiful on a classic bride.
For many, retro make-up means red lips and bold eyeliner from the 40s and 50s. But a beautiful sixties make-up, a 20s look or a "hippie" seventies bridal make-up also belongs to the category of vintage bridal make-up.
Smokey Eyes Wedding Make-up
Smokey eyes come in many varieties and make a great bridal make-up. Whether you opt for a subtle smokey eye in a soft brown shade or smoky grey smokey eyes depends on the situation.
Many women want smoky eyes for their bridal make-up. It is important to note that smoky grey smoky eyes are more suitable for the evening event of the wedding. During the day, dark smokey eyes can be too much of a contrast to the delicate dress.
Brown gold smokey eyes are a great choice for wedding make-up, even during the day. They add expression to the face and look seductive. Brown smokey eyes go with almost any wedding theme and are especially beneficial for the wedding photos.
Romantic Pink Wedding Make-up
Pink wedding make-up is very popular and goes particularly well with weddings with a romantic theme. Pink cheeks look fresh and young and pink also looks delicate and beautiful on the lips.
Care should be taken when choosing the right shade of pink for the eyes. The shade should not have a red undertone, as there is a good chance that you will shed a few tears at your wedding. Red eyes combined with a reddish pink shade will quickly look weepy and sad. A soft pink with a light violet tone, on the other hand, looks pretty and delicate as bridal make-up.
Wedding Make-up Trends
There are always new trends in wedding make-up. At the moment, the bride can be brave with her make-up and go for some colour. On the catwalks of the wedding designers glitter eyeshadows and coloured eyeliners were shown.
Rosé is the big trend colour for blush and the lips can be accentuated in a subtle rosewood shade to go with the striking eye make-up. But of course, red lips never go out of fashion either. Let yourself be inspired!
