Your wedding day is all about celebrating you - your love, your partnership, your tastes, and, of course, your personal style (when else will you get the chance to put all that together in such a special way?). That’s why it’s so crucial that your wedding look, whatever it might be, helps you look like the best version of yourself, rather than like someone else who you won’t even recognise in the photos. Plus, the more you feel like you, the more comfortable and relaxed you’ll be, which will make all the difference in how much you enjoy the day. With that in mind, here are some tips on how to create a bridal beauty look that feels like you; read on to find out more.
Start With What Makes You Feel Confident
The first thing to do when you’re trying to come up with a bridal look is to think of the things that already make you feel amazing - is it a favourite lipstick colour? Soft, radiant skin? A specific hairstyle you know looks great on you? It’s these little things that can be used by your makeup artist and stylist to build the rest of your look on, so don’t be afraid to talk about what you love; it’s really going to help.
The point is that if you never wear loads and loads of makeup in real life, your wedding day isn’t the best time to start - you’ll look different and you won’t feel like yourself. Confidence is really important at this time, and looking how you want to is sure to boost it.
Boost Your Everyday Look
Once you know where you want to start with your bridal look, it can all get a lot easier because you can take that and just boost it a bit - in other words, take what you’d normally do when it comes to your hair and makeup, and enhance it just enough to make it different but not so much that it becomes unrecognisable. It’s that balance that’s vital, and a good makeup artist can definitely help with that.
Some ideas could include using a bit of highlight on your cheeks when you might not normally add it, or opt for nano hair extensions so you can have your favourite style but give it a bit more volume. As you can see, if you start where you are now and just add a few extra elements, everything changes while staying familiar enough for you to love it.
Don’t Be Afraid To Break The Rules
There’s nothing in the (non-existent) rule book that says a bride has to wear this kind of makeup or that, or this specific colour or that one, and so on. If you want something a bit different, like a bright red lipstick or cat-eye makeup, why not try it out?
It’s best to have a trial makeup session so you can experiment and see what works, but thinking outside the box can mean you end up with a bridal look that really does suit you, even if you might not have considered some of the ideas before.
