    For an evening wedding, go for a bolder makeup look. The shimmery smoky eye serves as the centerpiece of the glam, while the neutral gloss and subtle highlighter balance the look.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    It doesn’t get more timeless than a fresh-faced makeup look. Take notes from Brooke Shields’ glam and enhance your skin with a hydrating foundation and rosy blush. Add flair to the look with a dusty pink gloss and a few coats of black mascara.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    A dark red lip is timeless and glamorous, making it the perfect shade for a wedding. Since it’s a bold color, you can keep the rest of your look simple. A light swipe of blush and mascara is all you need.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    You can also choose to rock a brighter red lipstick on the big day. You can amp up the glamour of the look by adding blush, highlighter, and ultra-wispy lashes.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    There are a few elements that make this makeup memorable. First, there’s the perfectly chiseled contour topped off with the shimmery blush. Then, there’s the mesmerizing bronze shadows on the eyes. The finished look is subtle yet striking.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Lean into an old Hollywood glamour aesthetic with a look like this. The glossy pink lip, bronzed cheeks, and lengthy faux lashes add to the star quality of this glam.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    This glam is bold and bronzy. The sharp-winged eyeliner and fluffy eyelashes are the focal points, drawing attention to the center of the face. However, the bronzed, contoured cheeks, subtle sparkly highlighter, and dark brown glossy lips are equally beautiful elements.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    17<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    @cherishbrookehill \/ Instagram<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    A baby pink makeup look is an option if the dress code calls for neutrals or pastels. Work a soft pink eyeshadow across your lids and inner corners with a fluffy brush, and finish with a swipe of your favorite sheer pink gloss.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    18<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Depart from the standard black or brown eyeliner and try a navy blue shade instead. The pop of color on your waterline will add a touch of playfulness to your wedding day beauty look.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    19<\/span>of 19<\/span><\/div>\n

    <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    If “no-makeup makeup” is your thing, draw inspiration from this look on the wedding day. We’re captivated by Greta Lee’s dewy, high-shine skin, fluffy brows, and ultra-glossy lips.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
