For wedding guest makeup inspo that any MUA would approve of, look no further…
1. Natural wedding guest makeup
When it comes to weddings, radiant and natural makeup will never go out of style. It’s fresh, classic and the perfect way to ensure you look timeless in all of the wedding photos. Here’s the perfect soft and natural wedding guest makeup look that will accentuate your features effortlessly.
How to create the look:
The base
- To amoisturised and primed face, apply your favourite dewy foundation. Take time to blend the product in with a brush or your hands for a radiant, skin-like finish.
- For a sculpted appearance, apply bronzer just under the cheekbones and along the jawline. You can also dust it lightly across the face to bring colour and warmth to your base.
- Add a peachy blush to the apples of your cheeks for a natural flush of colour.
- Finish up with a sheer lipstick for a natural hint of colour, and a juicy gloss for the perfect pout. The ultimate natural wedding guest makeup look? We think so!
The eyes
- Glide a brown kohl eyeliner across the top lash line and blend it out to soften the line and give the appearance of fuller eyelashes.
- Sweep a warm-toned eyeshadow across the eyelid to add dimension to the eye area.
- Brush through your brows and fill in any sparse patches with your choice of brow product.
- Curl your lashes and add your favourite volumising mascara to open the eyes and complete the look.
2. Glam wedding guest makeup
Weddings are the perfect excuse to pull out all the stops and branch away from your everyday makeup look. So, if you want to take your makeup to the next level, glam wedding guest makeup is the way to go! Discover how we would achieve a classic glam look with just the right amount of drama.
How to create the look:
The base
- To a moisturised and primed face, apply liquid highlighter and blend into the skin using your fingers. This will create a bright and radiant base.
- Buff in your fave foundation with a brush or beauty blender, taking time to ensure that it is blended seamlessly.
- Follow up with concealer to cover any imperfections that need touching up after foundation.
- Apply cream contour to any area you would like to define and sculpt. The go-to areas are the nose, forehead, cheekbones, and jawline.
- Brush through your brows and fill in any sparse areas with brow product. Trace underneath your brows with concealer using a thin brush to define the shape.
- Don’t forget to blend this out!
- Swirl on some cream blush to the apples of the cheeks to give a natural rosy hue.
- Apply bronzer over the high points of the face and nose to warm up the face.
- Dust powder across the face to mattify and perfect your base, giving you a photo-ready finish.
- Give yourself a spritz with setting spray to ensure your makeup lasts all night.
The eyes
- Sweep a pink eyeshadow across the eyelids, making sure to blend out the edges.
- Add a lighter, shimmery shade to the inner and middle of the eyelid to brighten the eyes.
- Apply a darker brown shade to the outer corners of the eyelid, blending this into the crease.
- To add drama to the eyes, use a liquid eyeliner along the lash line and wing it out.
- For the final step of your glam wedding guest makeup, add on some feathery false lashes to make your eyes pop!
