To soften

To soften, use only 'jetsetter' #BAA490 — matte — in the crease and 'funny girl' #D7BFA8 — shimmer — on the lid, skipping the darker 'smokeshow' entirely. A brown pencil liner smudged gently will be sufficient.

To go bolder

To amplify this look, apply 'smokeshow' #3E3B3B — matte — more intensely in the outer V, extending the shape slightly. A more pronounced winged liner and a deeper, richer berry-toned lip color would also add drama.

Photographs best

This combination of matte and shimmer textures will photograph beautifully, creating dimension without flashback. Ensure foundation is perfectly matched and blended, with a light dusting of translucent powder in the T-zone to prevent shine, especially for flash photography.

Wedding-day tip

For an even more romantic touch, consider a very fine, ethereal shimmer gloss over the lip color, specifically for reception photos, or incorporating a delicate, almost invisible, liquid highlight on the high points of the face.

Avoid

Avoid any cool-toned silver shimmers or very stark black liner that could appear too harsh against your warm complexion and bridal theme. Also, steer clear of overly powdery finishes that might settle into fine lines.

Step Three

Eye Color Placement

01

Transition

Using a fluffy blending brush, softly sweep 'jetsetter' #BAA490 — matte — into the natural crease and slightly above, diffusing the edges towards the brow bone. This creates a seamless base.

02

Crease

With a slightly denser brush, define the crease further by pressing and blending 'rocker' #948480 — shimmer — into the socket line, extending slightly outwards to elongate the eye.

03

Outer Corner

For depth and intensity, take a small, dense brush and press 'smokeshow' #3E3B3B — matte — into the outer V of the eye, blending it inward into the crease color. Build this up gradually for desired smokiness.

04

Lid

Pat 'funny girl' #D7BFA8 — shimmer — onto the center of the mobile lid using a flat shader brush. This brightens and adds a soft, reflective quality.

05

Center Lid Pop

For a captivating spark, lightly tap 'firecracker' #AD7E6E — shimmer — with a fingertip or a small, damp brush, right on the very center of your eyelid, just above the pupil.

06

Inner Corner Highlight

A tiny touch of 'funny girl' #D7BFA8 — shimmer — placed gently in the inner corner will open and brighten your eyes beautifully.

07

Brow Bone

Apply 'charmer' #EDE5DD — matte — directly under the arch of your brow with a flat brush. This provides a clean, lifted effect.

08

Lower Lash Line

Lightly smudge 'leader' #764A45 — matte — along the outer two-thirds of your lower lash line with a pencil brush, connecting it to the outer corner shadow for a cohesive, soft definition. A hint of 'rocker' #948480 — shimmer — can be layered over the inner third for extra warmth.

09

Liner

A deep brown or black gel liner, applied with a fine brush along the upper lash line, feathered into a soft wing if desired, will provide elegant definition without harshness. Avoid overly thick lines.

10

Lash

Several coats of volumizing and lengthening mascara, focusing on separating the lashes. Individual or small cluster false lashes strategically placed will enhance natural volume and length for a bridal impact.

Step Four

Face Placement

blush

A soft dusting of 'sweetheart' #C4A7A3 — matte — on the apples of the cheeks, blended upwards towards the temples, will impart a natural, healthy flush. Apply sparingly to avoid over-pigmentation.

Step Five

Lip Pairing

Warm Rose / Terracotta

Satin

A satin finish lipstick in a warm rose or soft terracotta shade will complement your skin's warmth and the eye look, ensuring a balanced and elegant bridal pout. Avoid anything too cool-toned or overly glossy.
