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.

"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.'"
