Many brides start thinking about how their wedding-day makeup will look the day they get engaged. While there are plenty of options to choose from, you might want to consider a beautiful boho style. It's a perfect style to complement a beach or desert wedding, and emphasizes a warm and natural look.

"Boho is all about glistened skin that looks radiant while using minimal products," explains makeup artist Bina Khan. "The eyes should be soft with a bronze tone, and the liner can be smudged out. Boho makeup is softer, more celebratory, and has a mood to it. It’s romantic and layered and leans on artistic expression rather than creating a 'look.'"

Can’t make it to the beach before your wedding day? Don’t worry, some highlighting powder or a soft bronzer can create that same sun-kissed glow. Khan recommends adding rosehip oil to your foundation and sprinkling in a favorite champagne highlighter to achieve this look.

Warm-toned natural makeup looks flawless and lends a sun-kissed, natural glow that stuns in the desert. Recreate the look by applying a loose mineral foundation as a base—it is easy to apply, and most brands even include SPF.
