How To: Bridal Makeup With A Red Lip

how to bridal look with red lip thumbnail

Hello my Bondbeautys,

This last weekend my little brother was married! I did his wifes makeup for the Bridal pictures & Wedding! This made me really start to think of all kinds of beautiful bridal makeup looks. So today I wanted to share with you this Bridal Makeup that is perfect for this fall season ! This is a bold red lip with soft eyes & face. I truly think this makeup look turned out perfect and I made sure that all the products used have been photo tested!

I try to use the word bridal very lightly because you do not have to be a bride to try this makeup look. I just tried to focus on things that a bride would want for her makeup on her wedding day. For example this makeup has been photo tested, its long lasting, it has a soft glow, it is not to smokey but it is intense enough so that you wont appear washed out in pictures. I hope you guys like this easy look and if you recreate it make sure to use #Bondbeautyfullooks

eyes

 

So I usually like to start with the eyes , just incase there is any fall out with the eyeshadows! I am not focusing on what products I used because I want you to use what ever shadows you want to use that look similar! At one point I even used a bronzer for an eye shadow! If you notice in my pictures that my lashes are missing , you cant even see that I have any! This will happen in your pictures if you choose to not wear fake lashes! (like I did) I recommend the Ardell Demi Wispys from walmart or target! When taking pictures and especially if your a bride I recommend Lashes!

 

For the Face I did try to keep it drugstore so that it is easy to get your hands on it! When finding a foundation you want one with no SPF in it , to prevent a white cast in pictures. Loreal infallible & the Lumi are great choices if you are oily I recommend the Infallible and if you are dry the Lumi like me! I decided to mix them because the Lumi was a little dark for me.

Face

The highlight I used today is the only drugstore highlight that I think is the best for brides. It is soft and glowy but not glittery so that it looks beautiful in pictures!

How to do a Basic Smokey Eye for all Ages

Hello my Bondbeautys,

I am super excited about todays post! I have been thinking lately about how I want my blog and videos to be something that anyone can enjoy no matter age. Most of the makeup looks I come up with I think would look good on younger or older women. Sometimes it doesn’t seem that way so to help you see how this makeup look looks on younger or more mature women I invited my mom to join us! Todays makeup tutorial is how to do a basic smokey eye that is perfect for all ages!

 

This smokey eye is very appropriate for this summer time , in fact it is perfect for anytime of year because it is not too dark. This is also such an easy look to create because I am only using 3 eyeshadows! Obviously when doing makeup on younger skin and older skin there are little tweeks you have to make. For example I am wearing a nude lipstick on my mom I used a light natural pink lipstick. I also used this particular blush because its glowy without being shimmery which is looks great no matter your age!

Personally I love this makeup look for date night, special occasions,weddings, pictures things like that . So lets get started with the eyes! ( I recommend starting with the eyes because we will be using black and that can sometimes get everywhere).

For the face makeup I purposely used a blush that has no shimmer but has a beautiful glow because it is more versatile for all ages! This coral blush really warmed up the face for the summer. Now remember everyones skin tone is different so you might need to pick a lipstick that fits your undertone and skin shade better. For my mom I picked a Pink lipstick from Elf -Mink Pink and I think it looked better than the nude lipstick that I am wearing.

Lilac Bridal Look

Lilac Bridal Look

Hello my Bondbeautys,

I am so excited to share this Bridal Makeup Look with you guys ! For this look I paired up with Lover.ly , which is a online one stop shop for brides. I was really surprised when I visited their website, it really is a one stop shop! I wish this was around when I got married it would have made wedding planning a whole lot easier!

They sent me pictures of three different dresses and I immediately got inspired by the beautiful strapless dress with purple detailing at the bottom. The first thing I noticed on this dress was the beautiful ombre fabric on the dress. It turned this dress into a non- traditional wedding dress. This gave me lots of leg room for what type of makeup to do. Usually bridal makeup is more neutral and natural; but for this look I wanted to add a modern twist by having lilac eye makeup instead of the usually browns. It added flavor and a modern twist to this bridal look without making it look informal. The sweetheart neckline gave me even more of a reason to use a such a feminine color on the eyelid.

Face & Dress

This Lilac Bridal Look that I have created for you will compliment this dress perfectly. The Lilac eye makeup really ties the makeup and the gown together nicely. I wanted this look to be fun and flirty but still elegant. I wanted you to notice the makeup but I didn’t want to take away from how stunning the dress looks. So enough of all the blabbing lets get started with how to accomplish this look. (List of  the products used will be below).

Eeyes

  1. First I applied a white cream eyeshadow base to the Eyelid area. (to help the lilac color show up more vibrantly.)
  2. I then applied a cream matte shade to the brow bone for a subtle highlight. (because the dress is so eye catching I didn’t want to distract with shimmery makeup!)
  3. Then I applied a matte Lilac Shade to the Eyelid. (Using patting motions for the most color payoff).
  4. Next I applied a Light Cranberry Shimmery Shade on the outer half of the lid. (Blend the two shades together)
  5. Apply a Medium Brown shade to the crease with a crease brush.
  6. To deepen the crease I used a Matte Grey shade in the crease and lightly to the outer third of the lid. Then make sure to blend with a fluffy blending brush.
  7. I Also added that same Grey in the lower lid. I also added a pearly white shade to  the inner corner of the lid. (doing this opens your eyes more and it looks stunning in pictures)
  8. Next is  winged liner. I also added a dark eyeliner  to the tight line and in between the upper lashes to add volume. Then in the waterline I added a white eyeliner pencil to open up the eyes even more!
  9. No Bridal look is done without adding lashes! (Lashes really show up beautifully in pictures so even if you are not a lashes girl I would highly recommend them for your wedding pictures).

Eyes done

Since the dress is a strapless dress it adds a sexy vibe to the bridal look ; so I wanted to incorporate that into my eye makeup with a winged eyeliner. Having your eye makeup done is only half of it, next is having flawless face makeup.

Face + Ffinished

  1. First I applied a Matte Bronzer underneath the cheek bone for a nice contour. (Even if you never contour or highlight your face doing so on your wedding will make such a difference in your pictures. Don’t you want that bridal glow?!)
  2. Next I applied my blush, I chose a blush that is more of a natural Pink shade. (you don’t want to much purple or it won’t look natural and will take away from the dress.)
  3. Last I applied a pink highlight shade to the tops of my cheek bones, nose & cupid bow.
  4. For the Lips I decided to do more of a nude pink shade . I used a matte lipstick and then later added a lipgloss for that shiny finish. (Matte or Shiny is up to you, they both photograph beautifully).

This makeup look is so easy you can do it at home. If you are getting it done by a makeup artist make sure to do a trial run. I hope you guys like this look, if you do feel free to pin these pics on your Pinterest for later!
