Marchesa is always a surefire bet for feminine, lace-heavy bridal gowns. If you've got a similar bridal gown aesthetic, or simply want to complement your dress with girly, natural makeup, look no further than the Marchesa spring 2015 bridal presentation. Bobbi Brown director of artistry Kim Soane created a pretty, ethereal makeup look with heather-shaded eyes, glossy skin, full brows, and a flush of pink on the cheeks:
The key to this look? Full, highly groomed brows, neutral lips, and a touch of gloss (everywhere). To create glossy skin, makeup artists fully hydrated first with Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream and Hydrating Face Cream and then applied a layer of Extra Repair Serum for a natural glow.
To finish the eye makeup, artists dabbed a bit of Crystal Gloss onto the lids for a slightly edgy sheen that makes this pink, rose, and mauve-heavy makeup scheme look fashion-forward, not boring.
Here's exactly what they used:
Face: Creamy Concealer, Corrector, Skin Foundation Stick, Sheer Pressed Powder and Brightening Finishing Powder
Eyes: Long-Wear Eye Cream Eye Shadow in Heather , Long-Wear Cream Eye Shadow Stick in Sand Dune, Long-Wear Gel Liner in Sepia Ink, Extreme Party Mascara, and Crystal Gloss as a finishing touch on the eyelids.
Brows: Brow Shaper
Cheeks: Pink and Rose Retouching Powders
Lips: Lip Balm
This makeup is equally stunning for an everyday look (or at least my version of an everyday look!). If you're contemplating doing your own makeup for an event, or just want to try out a few ideas before booking an artist, Bobbi Brown offers complimentary 45-minute Bridal Beauty makeup lessons at its counters (no product purchase necessary and free customized samples included). It's a great place to start when you're not quite sure what direction you want to go in.
Are you a fan of natural-looking bridal makeup, or do you think you'd rather have a bold lip, eye, or both?
