The new spring/summer 2011 bridal makeup trends are all about looking natural and polished so for those brides who like the natural look – this is your season!
One thing that really stood out on the bridal runways for the 2011 Spring/Summer season was great skin, showing both matte and almost shimmering effects. Often skin was very luminous and dewy but still very polished. There is nothing I hate more than overly shimmery skin on the face but this season’s shimmer is subtle and soft, almost glowing. I like it a lot! It makes your skin glow from within.
Eyeshadows for spring and summer are warm and soft, with colours such as soft ivory or cream matched with soft pinks and corals and light greys. The soft colours seem to be placed just above the eyelash for a modern look which really adds sophistication to any bride. Eyeliners this season make a big comeback! Matching the softness of the season’s eyeshadows, eyeliners brings that extra bit of drama to the eye. Just a little bit of detail that makes the difference from a little bit of makeup to a polished natural makeup look.
Lashes are soft looking but nice and long. This is where faux lashes will make the difference for this season. Even just using partial lashes to give that extra bit of drama to your look works well for spring and summer 2011. I love using a very natural faux lash so that when your makeup is complete, the lashes look like your own only longer and fuller! This look fits in perfectly with the seasonal trends.
Spring/Summer lips are soft with beautiful colours such as corals, soft reds and nudes. A little bit of glimmer to the lips has been shown on the bridal runway for spring/summer 2011 and is a perfect finish to a natural, soft makeup look.
Some makeup artists call this look the “no makeup, makeup look” – I call it the perfect bridal look.
