Soft Glam Wedding Makeup: The Perfect Look for a Modern Bride
What Is Soft Glam Wedding Makeup?
Soft glam wedding makeup is all about achieving flawless skin whilst maintaining and enhancing your natural features without looking overdone. This look is perfect for weddings if you love makeup but want to avoid heavy contouring and still look like yourself.
Key Elements of Soft Glam Bridal Makeup
Here are a few key elements that make a soft glam look perfect for your wedding day.
1. Flawless, Radiant Base
A flawless base starts with a good skin routine and a well-prepped base. This includes cleansing, toning and moisturising to keep the skin hydrated. Using primers is also important as it creates a barrier between the skin and the makeup, depending on your skin type. For your wedding day, the type of foundation used is typically medium to full coverage with a glowy or matte finish.
2. Soft Defined Eyes
The eyeshadow colours generally consist of warm tones, champagne shimmers, rose gold or browns without any harsh lines.
3. Feathered Brows
When achieving a soft glam look, brows are lightly filled in without being overdrawn and boxy.
4. Natural Contour & Highlight
Using cream or powder products adds a soft dimension to the face rather than using sharp and harsh lines. To achieve a soft, elegant look, choose a highlighter that is natural and will give an illusion of glowy skin when placed on the cheekbones, brow bones and the cupid’s bow.
5. Neutral lips
A peachy, nude or rosy lip is always the best option as it complements both the dress and skin tone without looking overpowering. If you want your lips to appear more plumped, a clear or nude gloss will be your best friend.
Soft Glam Wedding Makeup based on Features
Makeup for Brown Eyes
Brown eyes complement warm tones like gold, bronzer and copper. A soft, brown, smoky eye paired with a nude, rosy lip will give you a cohesive look.
Makeup for Blue Eyes
Blue eyes complement cool tones like champagne, taupe or rose gold. Add definition with a smudged brown liner and a dusty pink to give a dreamy, romantic look.
Makeup for Asian Brides
For Asian brides, I tend to focus on warm browns, rosy lips and glowing skin. Choosing a peachy, coral blush and a nude gloss brings the whole look together.
Makeup for Black Brides
For Black brides, rich tones like gold, copper, terracotta, and bronze complement deeper skin tones. Choosing a berry tone blush, warm nude lips with a dash of bronzey highlight will tie the look together.
