Modern Bride
There are bohemian brides, romantic brides and edgy brides. If you fall into the latter category, this sweeping black eyeshadow will appeal to your punkish side. Using shadow to create the look produces a softer effect compared to eyeliner.

Classic Beauty
Want wedding makeup that will look as gorgeous in 10, 20 or even 50 years as it does now? Stick with the classics like red lipstick and black eyeliner. The high bun will also stand the test of time.

Flirty Finish
Lashes can completely change a beauty look. For a flirty, throwback look, enhance the bottom lashes only. Increase the mod vibes with a neutral lip color and choose a glossy finish to bring the look into this decade.

Soft and Sweet
Unexpected makeup pairings can sometimes be the most striking. Take this peach and pink combination. Both colors look dreamy in monochromatic looks but come together to create a pretty pastel finish. Stick with the trendy glossy lip as the different textures add to the romantic look.

Subtle Shimmer
Glitter is trending and can play into the fairy tale romance vibes of weddings. The key to pulling off shimmer is choosing micro sparkles rather than chunky glitter. Enhance softly lined eyes with a dusting of shimmer. The tiniest bit will pick up the light and make it look like you're glowing.
