40 Wedding Makeup Ideas for Every Kind of Bride

You’ve found your wedding dress, had that Cinderella moment with the perfect shoes, and spent hours scrolling through Instagram and Pinterest searching for just the right hairstyle. With almost every aspect of your bridal ensemble checked off of your to-do list, all there’s left to do is find a makeup look that pulls it all together. Luckily, you probably won’t have to look any further than this round-up of the prettiest wedding makeup ideas for every kind of bride.
Sure, choosing a makeup look for your wedding might seem like a daunting task. But trust us when we say that it’s nothing compared to tackling your seating chart or hunting down those missing RSVPs. The job is especially easy with the 40 makeup ideas below. From natural “no makeup” makeup looks to bold lip colors and smoky eyes, the makeup these brides wore at their nuptials perfectly complemented the themes of their individual weddings and beautiful bridal gowns, and we love seeing their personal styles shine through. Now, it’s your turn!
Find the photo of your favorite makeup look below and then bring it along to your trial and the morning of your wedding, so your makeup artist can replicate it. Whether you choose lush, look-at-me lashes, a dramatic cat eye, a cheek color that’ll turn you into the very definition of a blushing bride, or any combination of the three, we just know you’re going to be gorgeous!
