Wedding season is here and if you’re in talks with a makeup artist, or even doing your own bridal makeup, you’re probably on the hunt for the latest bridal trends. Our top trending tip? Natural glam. Think soft, romantic, and effortless.
Here are some ideas you might want to take to your makeup artist!
Perfectly Blushed Cheeks
Channel your inner Megan Markle (we all still remember that rouged look!) and embrace being a blushing bride! Perfectly blushed cheeks are officially back in style and completely romantic.
The trick is to find a shade of blush that doesn’t clash with the rest of your makeup and that complements your skin tone.

Hydrating Base Makeup
We love the glossy bridal makeup trend! Start with your base and incorporate a hydrating setting spray into your routine. Try this #makeuphack and either spray your whole face before applying your complexion products or try applying your foundation and misting your makeup sponge with the setting spray before buffing out the product. This will help keep you glossy and glowing.
Glowing Highlighter Palette
Reinforce that glowy base with some highlighter.
Where to add highlighter:
- Forehead
- Bridge of your nose
- Chin
- Cupid’s Bow
- Inner Eyes
- Brow Bone

Glossy Lids
Embrace the trend and go minimal with your wedding makeup by only using lip gloss to create the perfect glossy lid! Ask your makeup artist to test dabbing a little nude lip gloss over your lids to see if this creates the wedding makeup look of your dreams.

If you need an extra punch of color, try using a cream-to-powder eyeshadow pencil. These are great for precisely adding more color to your overall look. Big, bold shades are out and more subtle pops of natural color are what are in favor these days. Stay on the lookout for nude eyeshadow for dark skin like copper, brown, and bronze! These will enhance your natural beauty without overshadowing the rest of the look for your big day.

Earth-Toned Eye Makeup
Create your perfect wedding smokey eye using earth-toned makeup. We’ve been seeing this everywhere! You might be used to using black and gray eyeshadow when applying a smokey eye, but right now it’s popular to swap those colors out for more neutral brown shades. These shades will create depth, drama, and dimension to your wedding look.
For some more fun, pick up an eyeshadow palette that has a few earth-toned shimmer shades in it as well! Place those shades in your inner corners to brighten your eyes and make them look bigger.

Natural Lashes
Full glam dramatic lashes have had their moment, but right now the trending wedding makeup is more on the subtle side. Don’t be afraid to ditch those long and heavy strip lashes for a more demure and natural alternative.
Think: effortless and natural. Go light on the lashes and instead opt for a long-lasting and lightweight mascara that will still deliver the volume you’re looking for. This is a great way to top off your timeless wedding makeup. Your lashes will thank you!
