“Bridal makeup should be timeless," says makeup artist Meredith Baraf, who suggests selecting a look that accentuates your natural beauty. “Generally speaking, this is not the time to try something new, avant-garde, or to stretch out of your comfort zone. Feeling and looking like the best you is super important.”
Bridal makeup should reflect your personality (your wedding is a milestone, not a frequent life occurrence), complement your outfit (obviously), and most importantly, stay put through the entire ceremony and the photographs.
