Before diving into makeup, prep your skin like a canvas. This will allow your makeup to apply smoothly! Start with a clean face, then apply a hydrating primer to create a smooth base that keeps your makeup in place all day. Don't forget to moisturize and apply a bit of lip balm to keep those lips soft and kissable!

Step 2: Brow Wow!

Frame your face with perfectly groomed brows. Use a brow pencil or powder to fill any sparse areas, then set them in place with a clear brow gel. Pro tip: Opt for a shade that matches your natural brow color for a subtle, polished look that enhances your features without overpowering them.

Step 3: Foundation Magic

Achieve a flawless complexion with the proper foundation. Choose a formula that matches your skin tone perfectly and blend it seamlessly using a makeup sponge or brush. Remember, less is more! Build up coverage gradually for a natural finish lasting from "I do" to the last dance.

Step 4: Conceal and Illuminate

Banish imperfections with concealer, focusing on under-eye circles, blemishes, and redness. Blend, blend, blend for a seamless finish. Then, add a touch of brightness with a highlighting concealer to illuminate your under-eye area and high points of your face, like your cheekbones and brow bones.

Step 5: Eye-catcher

It's time to add some drama to those peepers! Start priming your eyelids to ensure your eyeshadow stays put throughout the festivities. Then, you can go in with any color that will complement your wedding theme or dress! Pro-tip: Apply a light shade over your lid as a base, followed by a medium shade in the crease for depth. Add a pop of shimmer on the center of your lid for extra sparkle, then blend everything seamlessly for a soft and romantic look!

Step 6: Lash Out

Bat those lashes with confidence! Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler to open up your eyes, then apply a few coats of your favorite mascara for volume and length. For an extra touch of glamor, consider adding false lashes for that wow factor that will make your eyes truly stand out. If you prefer lash extensions instead, plop a strip on your eyelid, making sure every corner is laid down, and curl the lash for extra volume!

Step 7: Blush and Bronze

Add a healthy flush to your cheeks with a rosy blush that complements your skin tone. Smile and apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, blending upwards towards your temples for a natural-looking glow. Then, sculpt and define your features with a bronzer along the hollows of your cheeks, jawline, and temples for a sun-kissed radiance that will have you glowing from within.

Step 8: Shine bright like a diamond!

Get ready to shine bright like a diamond with a luminous highlighter! Apply highlighter to the high points of your face, including your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, the cupid's bow, and the inner corners of your eyes. Blend gently for a soft and ethereal glow that will catch the light in all the right places.

Step 9: Seal the deal

Finish off your bridal look with a setting spray to lock in your makeup and keep it looking fresh all day and night. Close your eyes and mist your face with a few spritzes, then let it dry naturally for a flawless and long-lasting finish.
