2013 Wedding Makeup Trends

What are the makeup trends for brides? Check the following trends.

1. Big, bold and brave beauty. This season is all about strong eye looks, inspired by recent catwalk shows by Gucci, Versace, Chanel and Dior. Think vibrant, colored eyeliners, jeweled lids, neon block colors, futuristic lines and colored mascara – it’s back!

2. Lush lips. Opt for creamy scarlets like Burberry, crimson matte tones like Prada or make a dramatic statement with black cherry lips. Use a strong lip liner to give lips a fuller effect, and dab some neon right in the center of your pout for extra volume.

3. Marvelous metallics. There are two ways to wear metallics this summer, either go grungey with sexy slicks of gold and silver across the lids, or opt for a full precision cat-eye look with metallic liners.

4. ’60s shadow. Follow Chanel’s lead and go all aflutter with strong black eyeliner and full, lush lashes that give a nod back to 1960s style. Team your retro eyes with fresh skin and a pink lip, or even the strong lips mentioned above.

5. Satin skin. This summer, skin is in, but it’s all about keeping it natural with a slightly satin finish – not too dewy, not too matte, j-u-s-t right! Tinted moisturisers or lightweight foundations are the way forward (and won’t melt off your face in the Ibiza summer heat), and only use a bronzer to highlight and give skin a sunkissed look – contouring is so last season!

Funky Wedding Shoes for Sports-Loving Brides


Want to give your groom one more reason to fall in love? How about sporting his favorite football, baseball, or basketball team's logo and colors down your white aisle?! I'm not suggesting you wear a purple & gold wedding dress if your guy loves the Lakers, but you could support his team with a rad pair of bridal heels, isn’t it?

For the romantic bride, a neutral beige or powder pink will look baby-doll beautiful against a vibrantly tinted pink bouquet. A feminine blush tone adds a touch of simple elegance to your aisle style.

Code Red

For the bride who lives for full-on glamour, a bold blast of bright red is the hands down choice. A vivid fire-engine hue will look fierce against a bouquet with peach and coral tones.

Lady & the Vamp

Midas Touch

A gilded tint is just what you need to make an ultra-violet bouquet pop. The metallic shimmer creates a richly royal statement when paired with your vibrant purple flowers in your big-day bouquet.
