A minimalist style need not always be accompanied by a no-makeup look. Skye coordinated her slinky slip dress with a dewy skin finish, sharp eyeliner, and a bold pout for a sense of heightened drama. We're getting major Bond-girl vibes.

A bright orangey-red lip, sculpted cheekbones, and black eyeliner give this blue-eyed beauty a retro-glam vibe. This cosmetic combo transitioned nicely throughout the day's festivities.

Add a splash of color for a romantic ceremony, but exercise some restraint and stick to just one. A monochromatic pink palette is refreshing, bringing together complementary hues on the eyes, cheeks, and lips.

Rosy cheeks have this beauty looking every bit the blushing bride for her romantic ceremony. Take note of how the eye composition was kept minimal, letting her dewy skin take center stage.
Great skin makes for the ideal canvas for gorgeous wedding day makeup. For stunning, hydrated skin, Chen suggests increasing your water intake to at least 68 ounces per day in the weeks leading up to your wedding.
Soft Glam With Earth Tones

This bride is emanating an ethereal glow with barely-there coverage. A little mascara and subtle lippy are all that's needed.

A winter wedding doesn't mean you can't embrace a warm, bronze look. A sunkissed rosy lip and cheek work well with a tanned complexion and subtly defined eyes.

A vibrant bridal ensemble can be difficult to pair with the right cosmetics approach. Maanasa's taupe eyeshadow and persimmon lip make for a stunning combination with her saffron-colored sari without overpowering the overall aesthetic.
