The makeup that a bride wears on her big day can literally make or break her entire look. For that reason, brides must be very careful when it comes to choosing a professional and experienced makeup artist that will make them look and feel totally stunning on their big day. As well as having years of experience in doing bridal makeup, the makeup artist that you choose must have an excellent knowledge and interest in the forever-changing bridal makeup trends.
If you’re getting married this year and are looking for a suitable makeup artist, make sure that they are competent when it comes to the following top bridal makeup trends of 2015:
Contouring
2014 was a huge year for contouring and what seemed to come out of absolutely nowhere; it totally dominated all kinds of makeup looks throughout last year. The good news is that the aim to get the most chiseled jaw-line, the highest cheek bones and the most perfect angular nose is set to stick around for the foreseeable future.
Having said this, with a new year comes a new development in this mega popular trend. Contour-loving brides that plan to tie the knot in 2015 can expect their contouring to be done with a pop of color to make them stand out from the rest of their bridal party. To get this look just right, contact lenses are recommended over glasses and use peach or rose-colored tones for the cheekbones.
Lips
2015 is the year of subtle, soft and feminine shades when it comes to lip color. Allowing the facial beauty of brides to shine through in a way that’s natural as they walk down the aisle, these soft and subtle shades are perfect when it comes to giving that pivotal kiss as a newly married gal. Pale pinks and rose color lip stains are where it’s at when it comes to shades and tones. For brides that like an extra bit of sparkle, a clear gloss can be applied over their chosen lipstick.
Metallic Mania
Although it’s a look that not every bride can pull of successfully, the bridal catwalks of 2015 brought the 90s back to life! To get this look just right, forget metallic blues and purples and think more of metallic browns and silvers. The reason being is that these types of colors are much more complimentary and easy to work with when it comes to bridal looks.
A short note for the winter bride…
The changing of a season normally brings a variation in the top bridal makeup trends with it, and 2015 is no exception. If you’re planning on tying the knot this winter season, a darker look than what has been described above is recommended. To avoid a look that’s too heavy and severe looking, late autumn/winter brides should opt for a smokey eye and burgundy lip that’s complemented by warm make-up tones.
As with every element of your appearance for your wedding day, make sure that you try your makeup look out before the big day itself. Trends are there to give inspiration and create a base for building looks but they don’t necessarily have to be followed. Whatever look you choose, whether it’s one of the above or not, make sure it’s something that you can look back on in years to come and feel that you made the right decision for your makeup guise.
