How To Do Elegant Bridal Makeup For a Wedding Ceremony?


  • Start with a pencil...

To begin, ensure you have a sharp matte brown pencil. We'll utilize this pencil to outline the foundation of our semi-cut crease. Before moving on, remember to apply an eye primer to ensure the longevity of this exquisite look throughout the day.

  • Draw cut crease...

Start the cut crease creation process by filling in the outlined shape with your brown pencil. To maintain a simple and elegant appearance, softly blend the edges using a small synthetic brush.

  • Set the pencil...

Progress to the next makeup step by setting the pencil with a matte eyeshadow, preferably one that closely matches the pencil shade. Blend the edges seamlessly to achieve a flawless transition. Use a nude, matte eyeshadow to help with the blending.

  • Add highlighter...

It's time to illuminate the corners of your eyes and the brow bone for added depth and radiance. I've opted for a very light, nearly white highlighter type on my lid, but feel free to choose a shade that suits your preference. Pastel shades like peach, rosy, or lavender can be particularly enchanting for bridal looks.

  • Line your eyes...

Now, we move on to the eyeliner, a crucial step for accentuating your eyes. Skillfully line your eyes, crafting an elegant wing that complements your chosen eye makeup. To intensify the gaze, don't overlook the upper and lower waterlines. To complete this captivating look, consider applying false lashes for added drama and allure.

That's all, a simple and elegant bridal eye look is done! This makeup will look beautiful on any eye shape and any eye color, it is versatile and sophisticated. If you aren't a fan of neutral eye looks, you can choose any other color for the semi-cut crease that will match your style, mood, and outfit.
