Bridal makeup is an art of subtle light play, soft colors like pink, lilac, and peach, delivering a fresh, radiant finish. Shadows, blush, and foundation blend seamlessly for a feminine glow. Drawing from the 2015 Lancôme Wedding Makeup collection, Lancôme Makeup Artist Miky shares her professional tips for D-Day perfection.
The golden rule for wedding makeup? Stay true to yourself. Skip drastic changes—opt for natural enhancements over party glam. Keep your look fresh and your complexion cool.
Prioritize skin prep weeks ahead for a light touch on the big day.
A Natural, Baby-Fresh Complexion
Select a lightweight foundation applied with a brush for that dewy vibe. Prep with treatments like peels to renew skin. Two weeks prior, mix self-tanner drops into your routine for a subtle glow.
A Fresh, Sparkling Gaze
Embrace lightness with soft shadows from Lancôme's Wedding palettes—peach for warm tones, parma (soft purple) for cool. Add iridescent shimmer for sparkle. Contour eyelid edges with matte shades for depth.
Layer a lengthening and volumizing mascara; skip falsies. Brown mascara softens angular features, thin lips, or deep-set eyes better than black.
Perfectly Groomed Brows
Schedule brow shaping 1-2 months ahead at a specialist. Avoid same-day waxing. Use a fine pencil one shade lighter to fill gaps, and highlight under the arch for lift.
Sober Lips, Vibrant Nails
Ditch matte or bold lipsticks for a tinted balm. Keep nails short and amp up color to contrast the soft makeup.
