The “no makeup” makeup look is a favourite amongst budget-conscious brides because it is easy, easy to do, and does not cost a fortune. On average, the bride can spend between $100 to $300 for hair and makeup, but some stylists may charge around $250 for the bride, and a further $50 to $100 per style for the bridal party. Additionally, where you live may additionally have an impact on hair styling costs, and a bride in New York City can expect to pay more for her wedding makeup than a bride in Kansas.
This is why knowing how to do your own makeup can be such an advantage, particularly if you have mastered the no-makeup look. Some women think that this look can be a little bland and boring, but there are ways to change up this makeup style to make it more special. so you can feel more confident on your wedding day. Here’s how to upgrade your no-makeup makeup look for your big day.
Straighten Your Eyes With Shimmery Eyeliner
The classic no-makeup look calls for eyeshadow in soft shades of taupe, ivory, soft brown, and other nude tones. But if you find this look too basic and you want to define your eyes, do not use black eyeliner to outline your eyes. Instead, sparkle your eyes by lining just your upper lash line with shimmery bronze, metallic gray, or deep purple metallic eyeliner after applying eyeshadow. This will make your eyes look more awake and expressive, but your makeup will still look clean and chic. Finish the look with a coat of lengthening mascara, and brush some brow gel on your arches to keep them neat and tidy.
Beautify Your Cheeks With Ombre’ Blush
Most people think that a no-makeup look means having to remove all the redness from your face. However, a clean and natural bridal makeup look can be enhanced by adding a little blush, but do not use powder blush. Instead, use liquid blush to create a natural hue– even better if you use two colours for a pretty look ombre effect on your cheekbones. Simply mix two colours of liquid or cream blush, such as pink and lavender or pink and peach, on the back of your hand. Sweep the brush over it, then apply the blush right on your cheekbones. Blend downwards to diffuse the colour, then set the blush with a little bit of translucent powder.
Color Your Lips With Lip Stain
Instead of using a nude or mauve lipstick, consider completing your no-makeup look with lip color. Not only will it last longer during ceremonies and receptions, but it will also look fresher than regular lipsticks as it gives your lips a pop of color. For the big day, think about using a highly pigmented pink or red lip stain. Dab it in the center of your lower lip, then blend the colour in using a clean fingertip. Tap the remaining color onto your upper lip. For a little more color and shine, apply a tinted lip balm in a matching shade after the colour has dried.
