The hue normally reserved for warmer weather gives an unexpected pop of color when worn in the winter and adds interest to any minimal makeup look. Opt for a lipstick with a velvet finish, which isn't overly shiny or totally flat. One to try: Flower Beauty Kiss Stick Velvet Lip Color in So Gladiola, $6.98.
If you don't like the look of noticeable eyeliner, try tightlining: Line the inner waterline on both your top and bottom lids. This technique, a favorite among makeup artists, defines the shape of your eyes ever so subtly and creates the illusion of fuller lashes. A gel formula liner, like Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil, $20, makes this kind of precise application easy.
Contouring has a new counterpart: Non-touring, a fresh-faced trend that's perfectly wedding appropriate. Start with a luminizing primer under foundation, then layer a cream highlighter as your final step, focusing on the cheekbones, inner corners of your eyes, and bridge of your nose. Try RMS Beauty Magic Luminizer, $38. It'll make you shine in real life as well as in your photos.
Bold, feathery brows aren't going anywhere -- even for brides -- so resist the urge to go tweezer-happy in the days leading up to your big day. Let your brows grow out to their fullest, then enhance them with a bit of powder and a dab of brow gel to keep hairs in place. Try Zoey Van Jones Tinted Brow Gel, $16.
When worn as a liner, the gilded hue delivers just the right amount of glimmer and shimmer (not to mention that it flatters all skin tones). We like Ulta Metallic Automatic Eyeliner in Golden Eyes, $8. Complete the look with gold shadow and black mascara for an eye makeup look that definitely takes first place.
