Beautiful Natural Wedding Hair Makeup
To create Ashvini’s natural bridal makeup I started with a sweep of silvery taupe across her eyelids. This light colour contrasted with her dark eyes and complimented her wedding dress. I then used a warm brown in her socket line and a deeper brown in the outer corners. To accentuate the almond shape of her eyes I added 3/4 lashes and a black winged eyeliner. Together they help to elongate and lift the eye. To complete the eyes I added a bronze shimmer line on the bottom lashes, a little mascara and softly defined her eyebrows.
Ashvini’s skin was prepared with a moisturiser and primer, followed by a foundation and under-eye concealer. A fine loose powder was used to set the makeup, finished with a spritz of setting spray.
On Ashvini’s cheeks, a bronzer was used to contour and shape and a coral pink was applied on the apples for a healthy glow. Highlighter was also added to the top of the cheekbones and temples to create a subtle sheen to the skin.
Ashvini is blessed with beautiful full lips so I decided lip gloss would be perfectly defined with a lip liner.
Ash’s second makeup look was created to compliment her updo. Her hair was swept back into an elegant low bun and accessorised with some beautiful delicate hair pieces.
For this more sophisticated look, I defined the eyes more with a little deeper brown in the outer corner and some black kohl on the waterline of her eyes for a smoky eye effect.
I added a pinky plum lipstick for a touch of classic glamour and a little more blush to balance the new stronger lip.
