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.

Upgraded Neutrals
Soft, romantic and pretty are the common adjectives for bridal makeup looks. This gold and ivory eyeshadow with pink lip stain plays right into it. The lip intensity can be dialed up or down for a customized finish.

Fresh Approach
Brides will likely want to play up the ivory and white tones in their gowns, but anyone can work the shades into their makeup look for a flattering effect. Choose sheer and shimmering finishes for the most modern look. The lightest tint of color on the lips is all that's needed.
