Guide to Beautiful Natural Makeup Look for Your Wedding
Wedding natural makeup refers to a makeup look that enhances your natural beauty while still looking fresh, radiant, and polished on your wedding day. It aims to create a flawless complexion, emphasize your features, and maintain a soft and romantic appearance.
Creating a natural makeup look for a wedding is a great choice, as it enhances your features while still maintaining a fresh and radiant appearance.
Here's a step-by-step guide to achieving a beautiful natural makeup look for your wedding
Preparation
Skincare: Begin with a clean and moisturized face. Apply a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer suitable for your skin type to create a smooth canvas.
Face
Primer: Apply a primer to help your makeup last longer and create a smooth base. Choose a primer that suits your skin type (e.g., oil-control, hydrating, or illuminating).
Foundation: Use a lightweight, buildable foundation or a tinted moisturizer to even out your skin tone. Apply it sparingly and blend it well using a makeup sponge or brush.
Concealer: Apply a creamy concealer only where needed to cover any blemishes, redness, or under-eye circles. Blend it gently using your fingertips or a small brush.
Powder: Set your foundation and concealer with a light dusting of translucent powder to control shine. Use a fluffy brush to apply it lightly on your T-zone and any other areas prone to oiliness.
Eyes
Eyebrows: Fill in your eyebrows naturally using a brow pencil or powder that matches your hair color. Softly define your brows, following their natural shape.
Eyeshadow: Opt for neutral shades that complement your skin tone. Apply a light shade all over your lid as a base, then use a slightly darker shade in the crease to add depth. Blend well for a seamless look.
Eyeliner: Line your upper lash line with a thin line of brown or black eyeliner for subtle definition. Avoid using harsh lines or dramatic wings.
Mascara: Curl your lashes using an eyelash curler, then apply a coat of mascara to your upper lashes. Choose a waterproof formula to ensure it stays put throughout the day.
Cheeks
Blush: Apply a natural-looking blush in a soft, rosy shade to the apples of your cheeks. Smile and use a fluffy brush to blend the blush gently towards your temples.
Highlighter: Apply a touch of subtle highlighter on the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, brow bones, and down the bridge of your nose. This will give you a natural glow.
Lips
Lip Balm: Start by applying a hydrating lip balm to keep your lips moisturized.
Lip Color: Choose a lipstick or lip stain in a shade that enhances your natural lip color. Opt for soft pinks, peachy nudes, or sheer berry shades. Blot with a tissue for a more natural finish.
Finishing Touches
Setting Spray: Mist your face with a setting spray to help your makeup last longer and give it a natural, dewy finish.
The key to a natural makeup look is to enhance your features while still looking like yourself. Take the time to practice this look before your wedding day to ensure you achieve the desired result. Additionally, consider using long-wearing and waterproof products to ensure your makeup stays intact throughout the day.
Essential Tips for Natural Makeup Look
Start with a good skincare routine: Prioritize skincare leading up to your wedding day to ensure a healthy and radiant complexion. Cleanse, tone, and moisturize your skin regularly, and consider incorporating exfoliation and face masks to achieve a smooth base for your makeup.
Prep your skin: Apply a primer to create a smooth canvas for your makeup and help it last longer. Look for a primer that suits your skin type, whether it's hydrating, mattifying, or blurring.
Light, breathable foundation: Choose a lightweight, breathable foundation or a tinted moisturizer that matches your skin tone. Opt for a formula that provides light to medium coverage to even out your complexion without looking heavy or cakey. Blend it well using a makeup sponge or brush for a seamless finish.
Conceal strategically: Use a creamy concealer to cover any blemishes, redness, or under-eye circles. Apply it sparingly and blend it gently using your fingertips or a small brush. Focus on areas that need extra coverage while keeping the rest of your face looking natural.
Soft eye makeup: Stick to neutral shades for a natural eye makeup look. Use a light shade on the lid and a slightly deeper shade in the crease for subtle definition. Avoid heavy eyeliner or dramatic winged eyeliner, and instead opt for a thin line close to the lash line for a natural effect. Finish with a coat or two of mascara to enhance your lashes.
Define your brows: Fill in your eyebrows using a brow pencil or powder that matches your hair color. Keep the shape soft and natural, enhancing your brows without making them look too bold or heavy.
Soft blush and highlighter: Apply a natural-looking blush in a soft, rosy shade to the apples of your cheeks. Blend it gently towards your temples for a healthy glow. Use a subtle highlighter on the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, brow bones, and down the bridge of your nose, to add a radiant touch.
Natural lip color: Choose a lipstick or lip stain in a shade that is close to your natural lip color or opt for soft, neutral tones. Consider using a lip liner that matches your lip color to define and shape your lips naturally.
Set your makeup: Use a light dusting of translucent powder to set your foundation and concealer, focusing on the T-zone and any areas prone to oiliness. Finish with a setting spray to help your makeup last longer and give it a natural, dewy finish.
Practice and trial runs: It's important to practice and have trial runs before your wedding day. This will help you perfect the natural makeup look you desire and ensure that you feel confident and comfortable on your special day.
Remember, the goal of a natural makeup look for a wedding is to enhance your features while still looking like yourself. The key is to focus on creating a flawless complexion, enhancing your natural beauty, and using soft, neutral tones for a fresh and radiant appearance.

Zoom makeup Party!!!
I heard about many types of zoom parties where people celebrate special occasions or meet and greet but this is totally new to me.
Having what!!! A “virtual” Makeup Party!!! Wow.. This was one of a kind. I have been begging my friends to have this kind of zoom meeting where we play with Makeup and discover everyone’s favorite products and it finally happened. What a great idea. This was a real success. I encourage everyone who has friends who love makeup to try it out. We were five participants and one of us has two little girls who saw her applying lotion and decided to join us and they were so adorable and cute.
This picture shows my desk when I was preparing for this tutorial or party. I did some research and got the products I wanted to discuss ready. I didn’t expect my friends to show this much interest but they were amazingly involved. Even those who didn’t really use makeup on daily basis were so interested in learning about makeup and new products.
I shared with them my makeup routine for going to the park on a summer day where I wore my favorite BB cream with SPF 30, this was my Purlisse BB Cream in shade Medium.
I showed them how I apply it using my sponge or my brush depending on the coverage I want to achieve on that day. Purlisse formula works well for my skin and is oil free so it does not feel heavy on the skin. Transfer rate I would say 8 out of 10 so it counts as one of the good non-transferrable products especially in the time of masks.
I shared with them my favorite foundations that include SPF and are summer time friendly aka don’t feel too oily or greasy on the skin during the day.
We all prepped our skin with the day creams we have, used a primer, and I was surprised that some of my friends had primers in their collections but never used it or never knew what it is used for. We laughed a lot.
I used my CoverFX blurring primer which I would recommend for a dryer day as it does feel heavy on the skin but soothes the skin in an amazing way. And a little pearl goes a long way.
Another great primer that I love and re-purchased a few times, is from Wander Beauty, their facial Oil. It is called Wander Beauty Glow Ahead facial oil and is a bit costly, I get it for $45 on their website.
I used my hydrating concealer from Pretty Vulgar which is one of my favorite and most hydrating products that don’t crease in my under eye wrinkles.
We then moved on to the fun part... Powders... some of my friends never knew Bronzers existed and some didn’t know what to use them for. So we started by applying light powder under the eyes to set the concealer. I used my most favorite Becca Hyra-Mist Set and Refresh Powder. It is so fine and cooling when applied. I love it. At my age, 39, it works really well because the older we get the less powders we use as our face elasticity is less and we tend to have drier skin.
We applied our bronzers next. I used my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer. I like it but not really a favorite. It is a bit light for my medium skin tone and has a strong scent. Sometimes, it breaks me out but I like its application a lot. We also applied it in the crease as we didn’t use eye-shadow. During summer I love a bronzy look with no glitters nor highlighters. Just bronzy everywhere.
For blush, I used my Ciate London, which I bought two as a back up of, because of how much I love it. It is the perfect formula and shade for me.
For the eyes, we kept it light, no eyeshadow, but little bit of Kohl in the outer corner on the lower lash line and Mascara for the top lashes. I used my Lancome Kohl Black liner and for Mascara, my go to, which is IT Cosmetics Superhero.
With that bronzy look, nude lips will work magic. I used my ABH liquid lipstick in Ashton with a Mocha liner. I like topping it with my Estee Lauder Intense Nude satin lipstick for some gloss on the top.
The look was lovely. One of my friends suggested we do brows but I didn’t really think it will support the natural look. She used Mac brow powder in Espresso and it looked nice.
As a conclusion, we truly enjoyed the party. We did what we like and learned from each other. I encourage everyone to find what you like and create a group of people with similar interest. Even during the quarantine you can still enjoy what you are doing. Have fun and fight the depression or loneliness. Don’t give up and look for besties even if they are far away. Online zoom works magic in connecting us. Good luck and don’t forget to share your makeup party experience with us.
