Bridal Makeup Trends 2012

I believe the key to creating perfect wedding make up is having a fantastic make up arist with amazing listening skills. Communication is really important when it comes to interpretating a brides vision of how the bridal make up should look on their big day!

Wedding make up doesn’t have to be a classic brown/gold eyeshadow and pink lip stick. As a bridal make up artist in Manchester I think beauty trends should always be incorporated into the look. Vintage retro 1940’s and 50’s make up has made a come back, think (Audrey Hepburn) red lips and liquid liner look stunning in wedding photographs.

If your a spring bride, pastel shades look gorgeous and create a romantic make up look. For a winter wedding I love to create soft smokey eyes with berry lip shades. Experiment with your make up artist during your bridal make up trial and let them know if you want them to change even the smallest thing. Your bridal make up could also be inspired by shades in your jewellery or wedding dress!
