Since many women requested this look, here is my rendition of a classic, elegant and understated bridal look, perfect for a spring/summer wedding! Make sure to check out my Foundation Basics video to help you select the right foundation for your special day and learn all about foundation application, concealer, blush placement and contouring with my other tutorial. I hope this is helpful for you. Please note the foundation I personally have on in this tutorial would not be bridal-appropriate as it contains sunscreen.
Highlighting with shimmery products should be avoided or kept to an absolute minimum for bridal photography, which is why I skipped it all together here. You could highlight with a matte product in a few shades lighter than your natural skin tone.
Face:
Revlon Colorstay foundation in Ivory, Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pink Raspberry, Nars Desire blush, Ben Nye Neutral Set translucent powder
Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC e/s in Jest, All That Glitters, Neutral Pink, and Dazzlelight, Ben Nye Toast e/s, 42-piece double stack palette from eBay for the brown and black eyeshadows, black gel eyeliner (generic), L'Oreal Voluminous waterproof mascara, Quo eyelashes, Max Factor kohl pencil in Natural Glaze, Rimmel eyebrow pencil in Hazel, Margaret Astor clear brow gel to set brows in place
Lips:
Rimmel lipliner in Addiction, MAC Angel lipstick, MAC Slicked Pink Lipgelee

Sooo beautiful! The shades suit your eye color, too.
PS: What lashes are you using here? And... are they different? It's driving me nuts, but the left eye looks different from the right.

I'll be doing makeup for my friend who is getting married in October. I was wondering if I send you her picture could you recommend something for the style of eye she has?
at: 5:54 pm said...
I can honestly say that this is one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL bridal looks I've EVER seen. BRILLIANT! If I ever get married, I would really want to have this look on me.
at: 5:33 am said...
loved it!
... just a quetion though, why is a sunscreen foundation not appropriate for a wedding?
at: 10:23 am said...
beautiful look- I love the eyes! I know a lot of MUAs stay away from sunscreens for photography (@ Anon: some ingredients in sunscreen reflect light and can make the skin appear white when a flash hits it) but I have used the Colorstay on shoots before and so far, it seems to photograph quite well- your pics look great!
at: 7:24 am said...
This is a great look for you. You remind me of a princess in a fairy tale ;D.

Hi Julia. Quick question: What brush did you use to apply your gel liner? I'm looking for a really thin brush like it. Thank you!!

Hi Julia, this is the very inspiration I usted for my wedding this January and added bright cherry lips using the Just Bitten Cherry Tart (limited edition by Revlon)... I loved the look and my now husband adored it!!! He said that my eyes looked huge and enjoyed my red lips :o)

Nice!!! for my wedding this January I took the eyes of your "Timelessly Elegant Bride" and added bright cherry lips using the Just Bitten Cherry Tart (limited edition by Revlon)... I loved the look and my now husband adored it!!! He said that my eyes looked huge and enjoyed my red lips :o)

I have been practicing this look on myself for a couple months now for my wedding that will take place THIS saturday! i am very pleased with the look. I don't normally wear a lot of make up so i didn't want something that would make me look, not myself. this is very elegant, yet subtle. Love it.
