Wedding Beauty Tips
BEAUTY TIPS FROM FLORIDA BRIDES
By Managing Editor: Grace Crompton
Want healthy skin, just look in your refrigerator
or kitchen cabinet. Florida Bride Magazine
asked our brides to share some of their favorite
beauty tips with you.
Smoky Gray Eyes, Peach Cheeks, Nude Lips
A shimmery gray shadow creates the ideal smoky eye -- soft yet still
dramatic. Cover your lid with a pale slate color, then apply a darker one to
the eye crease and along your upper lashline as a liner. The finishing
touch? “A tangerine blush and nude lipstick are the perfect complement to
this sultry look,” says Linda Hay, a makeup artist in New York City
Shimmery Beige Eyes, Pink Cheeks, Wine-Stained Lips
“It’s fresh, modern, and not too fussy -- perfect for a garden wedding,”
says Martin, who likes to dab lip stain on with his fingers for a just-kissed
look. Apply blush to your lips and the apples of your cheeks, then add
shimmery beige eye shadow -- or dot eyeliner between your lashes for
soft definition
Navy-Lined Eyes, Rosy Cheeks, Shell-Pink Lips
For a chic, unexpected twist on the classic cat eye, use indigo liner.
Starting at the inner corner of your eye, trace along your lash line, then flick
up the liner when you reach the outer corner. Just don’t make the tail too
long. “Short and subtle is more,” says Martin. Pale pink lipstick and dusty
rose blush complete the look.
Taupe Eyes, Bronzed Cheeks, Cotton Candy Lips
Sweet and simple, this combo creates the ultimate fresh face. Apply
shadow from the crease of your lid to the lashline, and keep your bottom
lashes bare. “This will make your eyes appear more open and bright,”
says Hay. Then apply bronzer along your cheekbones, and brush lips with
gloss.
Ivory Eyes. Coral Cheeks. Bright Pink Lips
Dab on balm, then, for color that lasts, use a lip brush and short strokes to
fill your lips in with lipstick. Blot and repeat. Keep the rest of your makeup
clean and neutral. “Use almost nothing on the eyes -- just ivory shadow on
your lids,” says Hay. For a dewy glow, blend cream blush onto the apples
of your cheeks.
Copper Eyes, Dewy Cheeks, Apricot Lips
This duo reads warm, beachy, and beautiful. Dust shadow over your entire
lid, then smudge a deeper chocolate color along your upper lashline.
Blend cream bronzer along your cheeks, hairline, and temples with a
sponge, then swirl bright pink blush onto the apples of your cheeks.
Finish with a coat of apricot gloss.
