2023 bridal makeup trends and tips
- Stylish Accessories
From hair combs to floral wreaths, from bows to hats, from clips to bobby pins, this year is the year of bridal hair accessories. Therefore, you should not neglect hair accessories. - A bronze skin
The heavy contour is long gone! Instead, opt for a bronze look with a matte bronzer and highlighter. Or get a tan somewhere warm and sunny. Just don’t forget the sunscreen. - Pastel hair colors
Soft and subtle make-up tones such as ombré, rainbow or even gray are all the rage this season… We recommend our bold brides Pantone’s color of the year 2023. - Shiny Makeup and Shimmer
We know, we know you knew for years that bridal makeup was going to be matte. But now it’s all about shine! Add some sparkle to your makeup and add some sparkle to your bridal beauty’s lips, eyelids or cheeks. - Hair Back
Regardless of the length of your hair, you should pull your hair back. Whether it’s a sleek ponytail or a matching bob, this trend is all about pulling your hair out of your face and showing off your gorgeous skin and cheekbones. - A little blush for everything
Blush isn’t just for your cheeks anymore. You can use romantic, feminine and beautiful blushes for all skin tones, from lips to eyelids, in pink makeup. - Romantic Waves
The slightly wavy hair that looks like it’s blowing in the wind is cute and quite loud. You should gather your hair messily with a braid or a messy bun.

How to do bridal makeup at home?
If hairdressers and makeup artists stress you out, if you’re afraid of looking fake, then you can do your own bridal makeup. We have a few suggestions to make natural bridal makeup easy. You can apply the bridal makeup trends that suit you at home.
Elegant and smoky eyes can be great for a bride. I recommend staying away from black shadows and anything that might look too heavy in photos. You should also consider your wedding location. A more natural makeup look might suit a beach wedding better. Use highlighter and make your eyes look open. Contour your face with highlighter, choose a pink or matte lipstick.
Exams are very important. Especially for brides who don’t wear a lot of makeup… It’s the best way to figure out what you want and avoid the stress of the big day. I recommend doing the experiment two months before the wedding and taking lots of photos so you can review it later and decide if you want to make any changes. You can search the web for examples before experimenting. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, consider taking photos outside so you can see how natural light affects your makeup application.
Plan an hour and a half for the bridal makeup. The best way to avoid excitement is to take your time. If you do your own makeup, be sure to try on your makeup a few times before your wedding day. Always eyes first when applying makeup. When applying makeup, always start with the eyes first. So if something goes wrong or eyeshadow spills, it’s easy to fix without ruining the rest of your makeup. You should do your makeup before getting dressed so you don’t spill anything. If you do makeup after wearing the wedding dress, make sure to cover your wedding dress with a very long and big veil. Style your hair first so you can adjust your makeup accordingly.
