Lots of people will look at this bridal makeup and say, “I love how natural it is!”🤍
But here’s the secret… this is actually full glam!
When I say full glam, I don’t mean heavy makeup. I mean layers applied with intention🎨Thin layers of foundation, concealer, cream products, and powders are strategically placed for longevity and to photograph beautifully.
One thing every bride should know: your makeup will look different in person, on your iPhone, and through a professional camera.
On an iPhone (first two photos), this look appears warmer, bronzier, and glowier. In professional photos (photos 3-10), the same makeup looks softer and more washed out because professional cameras naturally reduce the depth and dimension you see in person.
That’s why bridal makeup is layered—not because you’re wearing more makeup, but because those intentional layers ensure your features still show up beautifully in your wedding photos📸
“Natural-looking” doesn’t always = minimal makeup. Sometimes it means expertly layered makeup that simply looks effortless!🤍

You do NOT need a million beauty treatments before your wedding day!!
If you’re wondering which treatments ARE actually worth it, here are my top 4 recommendations as a bridal makeup artist:
1. Dermaplaning
If you want smooth, baby-soft, glowing skin that reflects light beautifully in photos, get a dermaplane. It exfoliates dead skin cells, removes peach fuzz, and creates the perfect canvas for makeup. Trust me, girl… you don’t want a 5 o’clock mustache shadow making a surprise appearance on your wedding day.
2. Eyebrow Grooming
Just like makeup can cling to facial hair, it can also cling to unruly brow hairs and make them more noticeable. Ever wonder why Instagram and Pinterest makeup always looks so polished? Those brows are professionally shaped! A clean brow makes a huge difference in your overall makeup look.
3. Spray Tan
Every inspiration photo I’m shown is of a bronzed, glowy goddess. If you want your makeup to have that same sun-kissed effect, your face and body need to match. Yes, I can add bronzer, but bronzer alone won’t create the same overall look as a beautiful spray tan. If you want to look bronze, you need to BE bronzed.
4. Lash Lift & Tint (Optional)
If your natural lashes grow straight, don’t curl well, or struggle to blend with strip lashes, a lash lift can be a game changer. If you’re blonde, redheaded, or have very light lashes, add a tint too! It helps define your eyes in photos and creates that naturally lifted look. Bonus: some brides with a lash lift and tint skip false lashes altogether.
Save this for your bridal beauty checklist and send it to a bride who needs to hear it!💍🤍

It’s so true what they say—the wedding day glow is completely different from the bridal preview! ✨
We kept everything the same from her trial: bronzy skin, matte eyes with just a pop of inner-corner highlight, natural lashes, a pinky nude lip, and blushing cheeks with glow in all the right places. But when the hair, makeup, dress, and all the excitement of the day come together, it’s pure perfection!🙌
Thank you, Claire, for trusting me and my team to be a part of your special day. It was truly magical, and we loved every moment of celebrating alongside you!🤍

Julia has been my sister’s best friend for as long as I can remember and has been part of my life since our swim team days as kids🫶🏼 Watching her grow through all these seasons of life and then getting to be part of her wedding day felt so incredibly special!
She planned her wedding date around my availability and trusted me with her bridal glam—without even doing a trial! That level of trust means more than I can put into words🥰
It was such a full-circle moment to watch another sister get married and to play a small part in such a meaningful day. I feel so lucky that my job allows me to be included in these once-in-a-lifetime moments and celebrate the women who have been part of my life for so many years!🤍✨

It was such a fun and beautiful day creating personalized floral arrangements (in honor of their dreamy cherry blossom powder🌸), connecting with fellow creators, and of course, getting spoiled with some of Huda’s most iconic products I already know and love!
So grateful for the invite—can’t wait to use everything immediately!
