As a rule, the bride and groom have main witnesses at their wedding. And the bridesmaid on this day should look no worse than the bride herself. Yes, she is unlikely to be able to, because this is the day of the newlyweds. But choosing a beautiful dress, hairstyle and makeup is a must. Today we will talk about several of the most successful make up options for a bridesmaid that you can do for a wedding.
Main rules
Let's look at the most basic things.
- The image of the bridesmaid should be in harmony with the image of the hero of the occasion. It is advisable to discuss all the details with the bride in advance in order to look good during the wedding and in joint photographs. And if there are several girlfriends, then everyone must maintain the same style of clothing and makeup.
- The bridesmaid cannot overshadow the bride; her makeup should not be too flashy. A classic, natural style is best.
- Makeup for a wedding is closer to evening, rather than everyday.
The wedding makeup for the bridesmaid in the photo below turned out very well.
Length
The bridesmaids look amazing in dresses of different styles, but the same length. The length of the model is chosen according to preferences:
Convenience. You should spend the whole day in festive attire: dancing, squatting, entertaining guests. You need to practice moving so as not to get into an unpleasant situation. Mini dresses
Clothes that are too short distract attention from the hero of the occasion, so choose a length of a few centimeters to the knee. Event style. If low-cut outfits are allowed at a youth party, then a conservative wedding requires strict, closed clothing. Selection relative to the figure
If the model highlights figure flaws, you need to turn to a different style and length.
You should familiarize yourself with the differences between long and short dresses to choose the appropriate option:
- long models are chosen for a classic celebration, they hide the legs and are ideal for any season;
- Short dresses are also worn after the wedding; they provide an opportunity to show off a beautiful figure and are suitable for girls of different heights.
The “mullet” style will allow the young beauty to dance all day long without feeling discomfort. The dress, short at the front, turns into a long cape at the back. The cascading outfit is much more modest than the mini, but looks very elegant.
Universal tips for choosing
The basis for any makeup is a good complexion. It is advisable to take care in advance to ensure that your face looks flawless on your wedding day. It is cleaned, a regular cream is applied that matches your skin type, and then foundation and powder are applied. If there are circles under the eyes, they are masked with special products.
Often the image of the bridesmaid or bridesmaids is deliberately chosen to contrast with the image of the bride. If the bride has bright makeup, then the bridesmaid’s makeup is as natural as possible. Conversely, the natural image of the bride is contrasted with the brighter makeup of her bridesmaid. In this way, the witnesses highlight the hero of the occasion with their appearance.
Another important detail is the eyebrows. They must be smooth, clear, if necessary, well painted, and have a shape. It is advisable to take care of your eyebrows in advance. This can be done at home with your own hands or with the hands of a cosmetologist.
Wedding makeup for the bridesmaid is done with an emphasis on either the eyes or the lips. If bright lipstick is chosen for the lips, then the eyes should not be painted too brightly, and vice versa, if the eyes are highlighted, the lipstick or gloss should be light.
It is important to remember that wedding makeup should last until late in the evening and look good in a restaurant under electric lighting. Therefore, the shadows cannot be too light, otherwise they simply will not be visible. And, of course, they should go well with the bridesmaid's eye color. In general, for a “cold” or “warm” appearance, an appropriate color palette is usually used.
Important! You should not use mineral cosmetics, especially creams, for wedding makeup. When cameras flash, they produce a white light, so the face in the pictures will look too light.
Blue eyes
For blue-eyed beauties, it is not necessary to use eyeshadow in cool shades.
To soften the look, you can use shadows from a pastel palette: cream, splashes of champagne, coffee with milk. It is better not to use chocolate colors, as in combination with blue eyes they will create a gloomy image.
A good choice for this eye color would be a smoky eye style. This design will suit any type of face, which is a definite advantage. This kind of makeup will give your look expressiveness, depth and attractiveness.
For blue eyes, various shadows are suitable; a golden, green and lavender palette will look good.
The process of creating smoky eyes makeup consists of the following steps:
- First of all, apply foundation in a thin layer.
- Any imperfections can be skillfully hidden using concealer.
- Transparent powder is used to set the base.
- A base foundation is applied to the eyelids.
- Using a contour pencil, arrows are drawn on the upper eyelid along the eyelash growth line.
- The arrows are shaded using a special brush.
- The selected shade of shadows from a dark palette is applied above the drawn line.
- The transition is also shaded using a brush.
- A light palette of the same shadows is applied and shaded again.
- Eyelashes are treated with black lengthening mascara.
- A neutral color blush is applied to the cheekbones.
- Lips are painted with long-lasting pink or orange lipstick. They are covered with a transparent sheen on top.
This style would be an excellent choice if the bride decided to try on a classic look. Then the girlfriend will also be able to look attractive on her wedding day and impress the guests.
Wedding planner
A friend’s makeup should be part of her image, that is, it should be in harmony with her dress, jewelry, hairstyle and shoes, appropriate for her age, and suitable for her face type.

Natural
For girls who value naturalness and want to appear in a romantic image, nude makeup is suitable.
This type of makeup should highlight the beauty of the bridesmaid, but at the same time her face should appear as natural as possible. Like any makeup, it should hide the imperfections of the face and focus on the advantages.
It seems that making “natural” makeup is very simple, but this impression is deceptive. Despite the apparent naturalness and lack of bright colors, its application will require some effort and skill. The main thing when applying nude makeup is to observe moderation in everything.
The look of a bridesmaid with natural makeup should be soft and romantic. No flashy outfits or provocative jewelry! A classic silk or chiffon dress, in pastel colors or black and white, pumps and discreet accessories - this is what will help complete the look of a bridesmaid who has chosen natural makeup.
How to do classic natural makeup.
- First, apply a foundation on your face that is as close as possible to your natural skin tone, and cover up any imperfections on your face with concealer.
- Apply loose powder and, preferably, primer to your face.
- Take the applicator and apply the shadow of the selected shade that matches the color of your eyes and dress. For example, for blue-eyed girls, gray or brown tones are suitable, for a brown-eyed bridesmaid - beige, golden or greenish, and gray eyes will be highlighted and emphasized by lilac shadows.
- If necessary, apply a thin liner to the upper eyelid. But for natural makeup it is not necessary to use arrows.
- Use black mascara that lengthens or adds volume.
- Outline your lips and apply a soft coral or pale pink lipstick on top. Peach color is also suitable.
- Apply blush, for example, a terracotta shade.
- If you do your makeup correctly and do not use too dark colors, the bridesmaid will look fresh and very natural.
The natural makeup of the bridesmaid in the photo is an excellent example of the work of a makeup artist.
With retro makeup, a bridesmaid can create a bright and mysterious look that evokes associations with great actresses of the past, such as Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo or Marilyn Monroe.
Green eyes
When creating makeup for any eye color, the face must be treated with special care.
Its color should look healthy and natural. Festive make-up should be done on smooth skin without imperfections. To do this, the witness will need to cleanse her face, apply a mask, day cream and foundation. Afterwards loose powder is used.
If, after all the treatment, circles are still clearly visible under the eyes, they can be hidden with the help of a concealer, the tone of which should be lighter than the foundation used. For green-eyed witnesses, choosing the optimal makeup is quite simple. All shades of green will help highlight your eyes beautifully, so it is best to give preference to eyeshadow of this particular color.
If the bridesmaid decided to do her wedding makeup using a chocolate shade, she will need to use a “wet” technique.
In this case, there is no need to paint your lips, unless you can use a colorless gloss. Natural makeup is perfect for this eye color.
This makeup is almost invisible, but at the same time it will perfectly emphasize the attractiveness of the girl’s face. Doing makeup in a natural style is not so easy; you will need to take into account a number of certain nuances:
- such a make-up perfectly hides minor facial imperfections and emphasizes advantages, while maintaining the effect of a clean face;
- when creating this style, you cannot use bright shades; only natural tones are acceptable;
- This design would be an excellent choice if the bride decided to stand out in a bright way. In this case, the witness’s makeup will be different, look original, gentle and modest.
Interesting video: example of application
You can find many videos on the Internet that describe makeup for a bridesmaid step by step, for example, in this video, a makeup artist does makeup for a bridesmaid with an emphasis on the eyes.
Here are the step-by-step instructions:
- Apply foundation to your face and blend it thoroughly with a special brush;
- we don’t touch the eyebrows: it is assumed that the bridesmaid has tidied them up in advance;
- decide on the color of the shadows. Here it is important to take into account the color of the dress that the girlfriend will wear to the celebration. Shadows should be combined with this color, but in no case repeat it;
- draw arrows and apply shadow of the selected color to the eyelids;
- apply mascara, preferably waterproof;
- put on lipstick. They should have a clear outline, but not be too bright. First, fill your lips with a pencil, preferably completely. Apply liquid lipstick of a not too flashy color over the pencil - a calm pink shade is ideal.
Being a bridesmaid is a responsible mission for every girl! To become a princess at this holiday - to catch the admiring glances of guests, to feel beautiful and charming - it is important to choose the right hairstyle and makeup for the bridesmaid.
Varieties
The flirtatious romantic style has several varieties.
Complicated Romance
Ideal for a brave and confident lady. This style was literally created in order to emphasize such character traits of its owner. Things in this vein emphasize the fragility, elegance, mystery and mystery of the fashionista. All the details in such ensembles perfectly complement each other and add up to a very harmonious and stylish picture.
Complex romance involves spectacular draping of fabrics and graceful folding of them into waves. It is worth remembering that this direction excludes sexy miniskirts.
Clothing in a sophisticated style is more serious and practical. It can be worn for an everyday walk.
Serious
Another popular variety is serious romance. She focuses on the mystery and attractiveness of the female image. Outfits in this vein are a bit reminiscent of clothes in a gothic or vintage style. The most popular and common colors are lilac and purple.
The serious style is very common. It is expressed in textured fabrics: mother-of-pearl, silk or shiny. Beautiful outfits in this vein are distinguished by their elongated and slightly elongated silhouette. You can also find many things with an asymmetrical structure. They are ideal for a slender lady who likes cooler tones.
Naive
There is another incredibly popular trend - naive romance. This style is literally created for gentle and creative natures. Today, many ladies turn to things in this design. Naive clothing is difficult to confuse with something else. It can have charming sleeves - flounces or lanterns. Very often, playful lace or various embroideries are used in such outfits.
The main characteristics of naive romance are its elegance and airiness. The most popular materials for clothes are chiffon and silk. This style is often preferred by sentimental girls and women who like to emphasize their own tenderness and gentleness of character.
Wedding makeup for guests
A wedding is always a significant and memorable celebration, and not only the bride gets ready for it several months in advance. In no case should we forget about such important people as mother and bridesmaids, sisters, aunts and other guests, who should also look beautiful and impeccable. Many people wonder what kind of makeup guests should wear. Not everyone knows how not to overdo it with bright shades and not look too vulgar, and also how not to overshadow the hero of the occasion with false eyelashes.

“As a rule, before a wedding, brides have practically no free time, and they cannot always find time to visit a cosmetologist, so in such cases I advise using fabric masks at home. After 7 days of regular use, the result will pleasantly surprise you. Two to three days before the wedding, you can have your eyebrows corrected if necessary. And don’t forget about lip care,” notes stylist Anastasia Sivolapova. Stylist-makeup artist Natalia Grebenkina

Makeup Features
The wedding makeup of the guests, as well as the bride herself, of course, should not be very catchy and provocative. A wedding is a magical celebration with moderate colors, usually in a delicate color palette. Of course, no one canceled bright accents in makeup and eye-catching lipsticks, but there should be moderation in everything.
Today, themed weddings and those where all guests use the same colors in their outfits have become very popular. Whether these trends came from the West, or arose on their own, there is no point in figuring it out, but they are very popular. Such celebrations imply not only identical or similar dresses for the bridesmaids, but also makeup in the same style, which will not make everyone look like twins. Makeup artists add a bit of individuality to each lady.
The main question that concerns mothers, witnesses and girlfriends is who to choose when creating makeup for such a serious event. If you are planning a joint gathering on your wedding day, where your mother and bridesmaids will be present, then an excellent option would be to use the services of a makeup artist. He can easily make everyone beautiful - in a certain and pre-agreed time. In addition, if all the ladies gather at once, then the makeup artist will be able to help with all the little details in the make-up and even do the same or similar makeup - if necessary.
If you still decide to get together “everyone on your own,” then do not forget to practice in advance with the makeup that you will wear for such an important event.
Colors
It is ordered by the hero of the occasion, focusing on the wedding attire and her own preferences.
White
It is rarely chosen when the bride’s outfit is not classic white, but a different shade. For example, the beauty of an ivory dress will be favorably emphasized by the white outfit of the bridesmaids.
Black
Not to be worn to a wedding celebration. Even if you really want to wear a black dress, save it for another occasion.
Red
A provocative color, it was previously considered not suitable for a wedding, but if the holiday is in the style of vampires or there is a reference to the theme of paganism in Rus', it will be in theme. After all, it was in red that the bride used to get married. It was considered a talisman against misfortunes, evil forces, and gave easy childbirth. Bridesmaids dressed in red guard the bride today.
Blue
Choose bright shades. They emphasize the whiteness of the bride's outfit. They look great against the backdrop of snow - for a winter wedding, and yellow leaves - in the fall.
Purple
You can choose several shades - from light to dark; this color goes well with the bride’s wedding dress made of white lace.
They are chosen infrequently, the color is saturated, it is easy to get tired of it. But it is able to emphasize the whiteness of the bride’s outfit.
Turquoise
Rich and pastel shades are beautiful. Suitable for blondes and brunettes, looks great on all proposed styles.
The delicate shade, more suitable for blondes, looks especially impressive on young girls.
Pink
Another color for young girlfriends, but now more for brunettes. You should not choose a shade for chubby girls and red-haired beauties.
Against this background, the bride’s white dress looks very advantageous, so the shade is often chosen for bridesmaids’ dresses.
Lavender
It will highlight the bride's outfit, looks great in photographs, suits brunettes and blondes, and has become a popular choice.
Make up for mom
One of the main guests of an important wedding celebration, of course, is the mother. I would like to immediately note that makeup for the mother of the bride must withstand the whole day - tears, laughter, possibly temperature changes. Such makeup should be created using professional and waterproof cosmetics.
It is, of course, better to entrust the makeup of the mother of the bride and mother of the groom to a professional, because on such an important day your hand may tremble, and nothing will work out of excitement.
Whoever you entrust with wedding makeup for your mother, herself or a makeup artist, be sure to pay attention to the following points:
- Makeup should be in good harmony with the color of the hair, eyes and outfit.
- If the wedding ceremony takes place in the summer or you know that the weather will be hot , then it is better to give preference to light makeup that will not let you down throughout the day.
- For mature ladies, it is recommended to use fluid foundations so as not to highlight wrinkles. You can choose light foundation creams with an anti-age effect and special pigments (for natural skin radiance and visual reduction of signs of aging).
- For mom, it is best to use a pastel palette of shades in makeup ; it is recommended to use dark colors for accents.
To summarize, we can say that wedding makeup for a mother should be light, festive and subtract a couple of years from her age.
Face tone
Foundation is the base for creating makeup. When choosing a base product, you should give your preference to the one that directly suits your skin type. The need for foundation is that it evens out the complexion, makes the skin smooth, and gives it a visual shine. Before applying the base, you should clean and moisturize your facial skin.

For the witness
Most often, the bride and witness do makeup at the same time, and this is not surprising. They will be with each other all day, which means that their makeup should be in harmony, but not be the same. Some useful tips:
- If the bride has delicate makeup in pastel shades , then it makes sense for the witness to choose colors that are a little brighter, but not too provocative.
- You can make not very bright smoky eyes.
- At the same time, the girl’s skin should be perfectly smooth.
- Fluffy eyelashes (but not huge false ones) are welcome , as well as delicate lip glosses and discreet matte lipsticks.
- If you do not use the services of a makeup artist , then carefully select a color palette for creating makeup at home. It should be successfully combined with hairstyle, hair color and skin.
Brown eyes
Brown eye color can be light or dark black. For light eyes, when creating makeup, it is recommended to use cool shades; lilac shadows will greatly refresh a girl’s look; pastel and white colors will expand it.
If the witness is pale-faced, professional makeup artists recommend lining the eyes with dark eyeliner along the lash line. Girls with dark brown eyes can use almost all shades of eyeshadow.
A good choice would be natural-style makeup or smoky eyes. The only thing that will look bad is using eye shadow that is similar to your eye color. Lighting is of great importance for brown eyes. Light shadows will be invisible in artificial light, so it is better to use a darker palette. Orange, dark plum, dark pink colors will be an excellent choice. For brown-eyed girls, a retro-style design would be an excellent solution.
To do this, you can use the images of popular actresses of that time or create your own original and unique style.
The procedure for creating such makeup consists of the following steps:
- The skin should be perfectly even and smooth. Using foundation, concealer and powder can help with this.
- You will need to highlight your eyebrows using a contour pencil.
- The arrows on the upper eyelid need to be painted. They will need to be slightly expanded from the middle of the eye to the outer corner.
- It is not necessary to use shadows. If desired, you can apply natural shades.
- Eyelashes are treated with black mascara. You can use false eyelashes.
- Lips are painted with red lipstick.
For sisters and girlfriends
The bridesmaids and bridesmaid should know in advance what kind of makeup the bride will wear. If it is made in bright and moderate shades, then it makes sense for girlfriends to do contrasting and muted makeup. It is worth considering the following recommendations:
- Since this event involves long photo sessions , the skin of the bridesmaids (as well as her own) must be perfect. An excellent option would be to use foundations from the professional brand Smashbox, whose products are specifically aimed at numerous photo shoots. They definitely won't let you down.
- Don't forget about eyebrow shaping . Their shapes should be clear and the hairs should be styled.
- It is better to use mineral or transparent powder ; an excellent option would be to use highlighters and illuminators to give a natural glow to the skin.
- Eyes can be covered with plain, soft shadows (or in a combination of several shades, between which there should be smooth transitions).
- Eyelashes should not be so long that they touch the eyebrows . It’s better to stick with voluminous mascara and not go too overboard.
- An excellent option would be to use transparent voluminous lip glosses or matte lipsticks..
We can say that makeup for bridesmaids and witnesses should be moderate - and not provocative. After all, this is not a party at a club, but a gala event, which has its own limits of behavior, because guests of all ages gather here.
Grey eyes
The look of gray-eyed girls is quite heavy; to soften it, you can use warm shades of shadows. Chocolate, peach and green colors will be an excellent solution.
It is not recommended to use gray shadows, as they will weigh down the look and make it look heavy. Pink shadows are also not the best solution, since in combination with gray eye color they form a strong lilac tint. For gray-eyed blondes, using natural shades is an excellent choice. Brown and beige colors are optimal.
They will emphasize the natural attractiveness of the witness and make the image more vivid. You need to be careful when creating makeup using such a palette, as you can overdo it, and then the image will be too colorful. Gray-eyed brunettes are suitable for almost all types of makeup. The bright contrast between hair and eye color allows you to experiment with different shades, and most of them will be successful. An excellent proven solution would be to use gray, blue, green and caramel shades.
For gray eyes, a smoky eye design is perfect.
Here you will see how you can do beautiful makeup for gray eyes yourself:
The makeup of the witness is of great importance. When choosing it, you must take into account the image of the bride, since repeating it will not be the best solution. Various make-up options will allow you to choose the optimal solution that will hide minor facial imperfections and show its advantages. Which option is the most preferable for you and why?
DIY wedding makeup
the services of a makeup artist at special events such as weddings . For those who have a high budget, this is a good option, but there are a lot of pitfalls here too.
The main thing is to find a proven specialist whom you trust, otherwise the result may be sad
To make the already unpleasant picture even worse, you are unlikely to have time left before the wedding to redo your makeup. A great alternative would be to do your own wedding makeup. This solution has obvious advantages:
- every adult woman knows the slightest flaws of her face, knows how to hide them with the help of cosmetics , and can also competently emphasize her advantages;
- you will not need to pay money to the makeup artist and negotiate with him about the time;
- you can choose a makeup option that will look impressive , but does not require professional skills.
In order to competently and confidently , it is recommended to experiment at home by making several makeup options. You can photograph each result so clearly see which one suits you best.

For the bridesmaid
Who else but a friend can you trust with your deepest secrets and dreams? The bridesmaid is the most important guest after the bride and groom and their parents. This means that the bridesmaid should shine in the light of the cameras no less.
- Maxi dress, with open shoulders. Models in pastel colors will create an aura of tenderness and inspiration around all participants in the celebration. A tight-fitting bust is a flirtatious advantage of girls.

For guests
There may be many guests at a wedding. A work colleague is getting married. A classmate from university wants to tie the knot. Evening attire is a must.
A cocktail dress made of flowing fabrics is a wonderful purchase for such a day. Chiffon model with a loop at the neck. The dress should not be to the floor. Drapery and flying folds will create a mysterious image of the guest. A dress with a v-neck is an elegant model that will add piquancy to girls with large breasts. A tight-fitting dress will highlight a woman's slimness.
Girls with a non-standard figure, pay attention to this point. A dress with a sun skirt is a wonderful choice for slender girls. 50s style - trend of the year
A fluffy skirt will accentuate your waist.
Summer
The wedding boom usually occurs during the three summer months. The rays of the sun attract with their warmth. There is an opportunity to show yourself in all your glory. This is when you can create a unique image of a bright stranger and an attractive beauty.
Do you think your figure is ideal? A straight mini dress will gracefully highlight the grace of your figure. I would also like to highlight the neckline of the dress.
A dress with a boat neckline is a classic option. You can pair it with a long chain with a pendant and matching earrings. You can then appear in it at work and other events.
A square neckline is a more revealing finish. Summer is the time for sexy outfits. A light flare will add femininity and elegance to the guest.
Dress with a sweetheart neckline. Going to a friend's place for an important holiday would be the right decision. When, if not now, choose a similar style. Is the bride planning a wedding in a church?
It's worth thinking about how to cover your shoulders. A shawl or stole of modern design looks quite stylish.
Bolero will help out at such a moment. It can match the dress or contrast. It's better to avoid mini ones. Choose length to the knee and below.
Dress with straps. The most popular model of the summer. You can choose it as an independent model or in the form of a sundress. The guest can afford this.
The loose style will not interfere with plastic movements. Models with flounces and ruffles look great.
For the mother of the groom
The groom's mother is the guest of honor at her son's most important celebration. A luxurious outfit is required. It’s great if the mother retained her lightness and harmony until her son’s marriage. It makes the task of choosing an evening dress much easier. Modern models will take years off significantly.
- Bodycon dress with low neckline. The straight cut product will make you feel comfortable and cozy. It will be convenient to spin in a waltz. What would a wedding be without dancing and fun music?
- Dress in Greek style. The designers do not rule out this option. The nobility of the cut and the sophistication of the fabric will affect the attractive image of the mother. Soft folds will hide everything unnecessary.
- A-silhouette is an excellent choice for plump and thin mothers. Laconic and tempting. The fabric print will serve as a noticeable decoration of the outfit. A small pattern will hide fullness, a large one will emphasize it.
- A straight dress with a round neckline and a flowing cape will add extravagance to mom at the special moment. The model made of flowing fabrics will be a dizzying outfit, and the flowing detail will add significance to the groom’s relative.
- A sheath dress will allow mothers to look more fashionable and slimmer. A light reminder of business style. A practical creation of designers.
How to do your own makeup correctly?
For those who are just starting to learn the basics of makeup, the best option to do makeup for a guest for a wedding is light, classic makeup. It will remove all minor defects in appearance, refresh the skin, emphasize the beauty of the eyes and will suit any outfit and hairstyle.
At wedding ceremonies, guests are usually emotional, because sometimes it is impossible not to shed tears looking at the happy and loving bride and groom
Therefore, for such a make-up it is necessary to use a long-lasting foundation and waterproof mascara . There are three important rules for classic makeup:
- Before you give your guest makeup for the wedding, decide what you want to focus on. There are only two such zones on the face: lips and eyes. Emphasizing the lips, you should do light eye makeup , but if on the contrary, then the eye makeup should be expressive, and it is better to highlight the lips with soft lipstick or gloss;
- When choosing shadows, pay attention to your natural skin tone. For fair-skinned girls, it is better not to use purple shades , as they will give a painful effect to the eyes. Dark shades can age dark-skinned beauties;
- Eye makeup in the classic version uses two or three shades . A light shade is applied to the upper eyelid and corner of the eye. Only experienced makeup artists can experiment with dark shades.
Basic Rules
To make your girlfriend’s festive look flawless, you should pay special attention to the face, giving it a natural shine and even color. There are no mistakes to be made when it comes to wedding makeup. To do this, all visible skin defects are masked. Before putting on makeup, a girl should thoroughly cleanse her neck and face with lotion, facial wash or milk. When the skin is moisturized and cleansed, apply a small layer of day cream.
After completing the preparatory stage, you can safely start using the foundation. The cream is chosen in light shades and is evenly distributed over the entire face area, with the exception of the area around the eyes. It should be noted that the shadows are applied exclusively to dry, oil-free eyelids, otherwise the makeup may deteriorate and run. If the holiday is scheduled for the day, then dark shades cannot be used. As for the evening look, then it is worth choosing the appropriate style for it.
Light shadows are perfect for a wedding photo shoot, but under artificial lighting they will be invisible, so this nuance should definitely be taken into account.
The witness can choose the shade of the shadows independently, depending on personal preferences. Blue-eyed representatives of the fair sex are well suited for contrasting colors: yellow, orange, chocolate. For girls with gray irises, it is best to use purple or blue eyeshadow. Mascara also plays an important role in makeup design. It is recommended to use waterproof products; they last better and do not crumble.
In addition, blush must be present in the festive look, thanks to which it is possible to further emphasize and highlight the cheekbones. They are selected according to skin color. These can be terracotta or pink shades of blush. The wedding lasts several hours and during the celebration, in addition to entertainment, you will often drink champagne, so it is also recommended to use long-lasting cosmetics for your lips. To make your lips look great, they are first highlighted with a contour pencil, and only then painted with lipstick.
Choosing makeup for a friend
When going to a friend’s wedding, you need to the right makeup for yourself. Even though the main character at the wedding is the bride, this does not mean that other girls should not look beautiful .
Photos of makeup for a friend's wedding
You need to carefully think through the image, because the bride’s immediate environment is remembered, just like the hero of the occasion herself. Evening makeup for a friend’s wedding is created by using various subtleties and tricks. The main thing is to maintain harmony with the future image. A simple classic style will be optimal, as the bridesmaid will look natural and elegant .
Pay attention to your foundation; it should match your natural skin tone. Apply a thin layer . Then add accents to your makeup: apply a light blush to give your skin a fresh and healthy look. Smile more and you will look great and fresh throughout the holiday.
What else needs to be provided?
Makeup at a wedding should be long lasting. It will be unpleasant if towards the end of the holiday you lose your fresh and well-groomed appearance. You need to wear makeup for your friend’s wedding in such a way as to complement, and not overshadow, the image of the bride. Nowadays it is popular to decorate a wedding in a single style , when the dresses of the bridesmaids are the same color. Therefore, it is advisable to choose natural holiday makeup for girls; too much makeup in this situation is extremely undesirable and will look vulgar.
Makeup for young mothers
On such a bright day, when their children have created a new family, the makeup for the mother of the bride and groom simply must be perfect. The main rule here is naturalness. Since we are talking about adult women , anti-aging makeup would be appropriate, making the face fresh, bright, but at the same time not pretentious.
It is recommended to apply evening makeup in warm, soft colors . This will add lightness to the image and visually reduce age.

Fashion trends
In the modern romantic style there are such women's outfits as: dresses, various skirts, stylish trousers, light blouses, shirts, hats, jewelry and elegant shoes.
