Hi Gorgeous,
Your wedding day is one of the most magical moments of your life, and your makeup should capture that same beauty and romance. Picture this: a stunning bridal makeup look that radiates warmth, elegance, and timeless charm. Achieving this flawless look isn’t just about the makeup, though. It’s about preparation, planning, and a touch of skincare magic. Here’s your guide to creating that dream bridal look and ensuring it lasts from the “I do” to the last dance of the night.

Setting the Foundation for Stunning Skin
Before diving into the glam, it all starts with your skin. Even the most expertly applied makeup can only do so much if your skin isn’t prepped and glowing. That’s why I always recommend starting early. Booking a trial session with your makeup artist at least 2-3 months before your wedding is a must, and here’s why:
The Importance of Booking a Trial
A trial isn’t just about choosing colors or testing out a look. It’s about building the perfect game-day plan custom-tailored to your needs. During your trial, we’ll test the shades and techniques that will look amazing on your big day. But more importantly, it gives us time to focus on your skincare routine to create the perfect canvas.
One of my recent brides followed my step-by-step recommendations after we had her trial session. She made it a priority to stick to her tailored skincare plan, getting monthly facials and using the recommended products religiously. By the time her wedding day arrived, her skin was radiant, smooth, and glowing. Not only did it make her feel more confident, but it also made the makeup application seamless and her final look even better than the trial run.
Tailored Skincare Tips for Brides
Here are some essentials to help you prep your skin for the big day:
Start early. Aim to upgrade your skincare routine at least 3-6 months before your wedding.
Monthly facials. Facials help rejuvenate your skin, address specific concerns, and ensure your complexion is wedding-ready.
Targeted products. Your skin needs love and nutrients, so invest in high-quality cleansers, toners, moisturizers, and SPF. For added glow, include a serum with vitamin C or hyaluronic acid for hydration.
With great skin as your foundation, your makeup will look more natural, radiant, and beautiful.
The Sunset-Inspired Bridal Look
The summer sunset bridal look is my post popular and looks great on everyone! It is all about capturing the warm, romantic tones of the evening sky. Think golden and bronze hues melting together with subtle highlights and a gentle glow. Here’s how I create this dreamy look:

Eyes That Mesmerize
A blend of sunset shades. Sweep a warm orange or peach tone across the crease and blend a mix of golds and bronzes on the lid. Smoke out the edge with a warm chocolate brown to add just a touch of drama. This creates a gradient effect reminiscent of a sunset.
Golden highlights. A touch of shimmer on the eyes, cheekbones and center of the lips gives that bridal glow we all want.
Soft liner. A smoked-out brown liner along the lash line adds depth, while wispy lashes complete the eye look without overpowering it.
Radiant Skin That Glows
For summer weddings, it’s all about striking the balance between a dewy finish that looks fresh and a long-lasting formula that won’t melt under the sun. My key steps:
Light layers. I start with a light application of primer to smooth the skin, followed by cream-based products for a natural finish. Cream blush and bronzer bring warmth to the face without looking heavy.
Set with powder. A soft, translucent powder is lightly dusted over key areas like the T-zone to lock everything in while keeping the glow intact. I also use powder blush and bronzer to set those areas for more emphasis.
Highlight like a pro. A subtle highlighter on the high points of the face (cheekbones, nose, and cupid’s bow) enhances your natural radiance.
A Kiss-Proof Lip
Complete the look with a soft pink or peachy nude lip. I layer lip liner, lipstick and gloss that lasts even through kissing and eating. Prepping the lips with exfoliation and balm beforehand ensures a smooth, kiss-ready pout.
Locking in the Look
For all-day wear, my wedding day routine is all about layering light products and finishing everything with at least 2 setting sprays. The spray locks the makeup in place, withstands tears, hugs, and heat, and ensures your look stays flawless for hours.
The final result? A bridal look that feels weightless but appears stunning in photos and in person. You’ll look fresh and lovely all day and night.
