Whether you're a bride, bridesmaid or guest

Feeling Rosy
Blushing bride? How about rosy bride (or wedding guest or bridesmaid)? Rose gold is one of the hottest shades in beauty, but it can still be worn to a wedding in 2018 and not look terribly dated in photos five years from now. Try pairing a shimmering eyeshadow with a pinkish red lipstick. Ditch the lip liner and dab the color on like a stain for a romantic finish.

Kiss of Coral
Love a bold lipstick but concerned about red being a bit harsh? Give coral a try. It's vibrant, perfect for the season and lights up the face. Simply pair it with defined brows and a few coats of black mascara. Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick Spice Collection in Lit Turmeric, $26, is a flattering option.

Something Blue
Adding just a hint of baby blue eyeshadow is a clever way for brides to incorporate their "something blue" into their makeup. Bridesmaids and wedding guests can take inspiration from the idea, too. Ensure the trendy color is concentrated on the eyelid and complete the look with black mascara and a soft pink lip color. It's modern but not avant-garde.

Pretty in Pink
Take advantage of some of the new non-sticky, high-shine lip glosses on the market and try a cotton candy pink gloss with just a touch of warm muted pink eyeshadow. Use a very light hand to apply mascara — too many coats will overpower the rest of the face.

Softest Touch
Wedding makeup should be all about showcasing your natural beauty. In minimal looks, most gravitate towards slightly darker colors but lighter ones can be just as effective. Stick with colors only a few shades lighter than skin that have sheer finishes for the most flattering, ethereal look.
