FIVE BRIDAL BEAUTY TRENDS
TREND 1. BARELY THERE
TREND 2. MINI BRAIDS
TREND 3. ROSY CHEEKS
TREND 4. MESSY TEXTURE
TREND 5. BOLD LIPS
Trying to decide on a beauty look for your big day? From messy hair to bright lips, we have picked out five of our favourite current hair and make-up trends perfect for brides.
Trend 1. Barely There
If your everyday look is more natural and you generally steer away from heavy make-up then the ‘Barely There’ look could be perfect for you. A natural look is all about contouring, highlighting and cleverly using subtle colours to enhance your features without looking heavy. Think nude blush, pale pink lips and shimmery champagne eyes.
Trend 2. Mini Braids
This one is for the bohemians, the inner gypsies and the free spirits. Mini braids were big on the catwalk last season and are a trend that we love for bridal beauty. Braid small sections in the front and leave hair loose for a truly bohemian look or take a more sophisticated approach by pulling a few mini braids into a messy ponytail.
Trend 3. Rosy Cheeks
We love this trend for its innocence and simplicity. Blush colours vary from rosy pinks to soft caramels and can be layered to create a deeper look or left a little softer. Keep the rest of your make-up natural and minimal to really highlight the cheeks or match your lipstick to your blush for a more dramatic take on the trend.
Trend 4. Messy Texture
Forget tight curls and perfectly pinned petals, messy is in. The ‘Messy Texture’ trend gives a feel of effortless beauty. The truth is there is more effort required to pull off this look then you would assume but the finished product is worth it. Think textured pulled back ponytails, messy top knots and roughly scooped up buns. Make sure you use plenty of backcombing and starting with a base of soft beachy waves can give natural body and make it easier to achieve a gorgeous messy up-do.
Trend 5. Bold Lips
This has to be one of our favourites. A bold lip can change your look in an instant. You can go from everyday you to Hollywood starlet with a simple sweep of fire engine red. If you are going for a bold lip, the key is to keep the rest of your make-up subtle. Let your pout take center stage by keeping eye makeup minimal and contouring soft. Matching your lip colour to a tone in your flowers will make them pop in photos and tie everything together. Tip: Choose smudge proof colour and make sure your makeup artist sets the colour as best as possible. If all else fails, make sure to keep a tissue on hand for your groom post kiss.
