Bridal makeup ideas to get you all glammed up for your big day

Some people naturally do not like makeup. Others are into the trend and wouldn’t dare step out of their houses without makeup.

In the African setting, most brides are advised not to wear any makeup in the weeks leading to their big day to make them look extra stunning on the D-day.

Some take it as far as not wearing any earrings or wearing headscarves till the day of their wedding.

Every bride has their style and that is okay. Some will gravitate towards the no-makeup look whiles others will fall for the bold lip and smokey eyes look.

Most makeup artistes advice that the bride comes for a trial makeup session prior to the wedding day in order for them to agree on the final look.

For dark-skinned brides, it is advisable to add a tint of illuminating products to accentuate your features. Also, no bride would like to walk down the aisle with oily skin.

Opt for makeup that gives a matte finish and you are good to go. A great way to make your eyes pop is by wearing a flattery eyelash extension that draws in any onlooker on your big day.

Some prefer to go subtle with their lips. Others too will stop at nothing to get them big bold colors on their lips and oh, eyeliner always does the trick.

No matter your preference, always remember to have in handy a blotting paper to dab your face throughout the day and to keep your makeup looking snatched.

Check out these gorgeous makeup inspirations for your big day. We are sure there’s something in here for you.
