The wedding season is in full swing! Along with the whole clamor around the wedding planning and the bridal outfit, if there’s anything else bride-to-bes are always stressed over, it ought to be their wedding makeup, which also happens to be the “thing” that would make any lady swoon!

Next comes the kind of beauty ideas one should be looking for – and with the sudden craze for classics, we are not surprised that more brides are opting for old-school makeup. If you are hoping to learn how to achieve vintage beauty look, then you’ve come to the right place. So, get inspired from these modern-day brides who went retro with their hair and makeup.

Read ahead as we bring you a makeup look that is retro, completely unforgettable and unique.

Natural Beauty:

Since you will be the center of attention, opt for this natural look that will certainly make you feel gorgeous on your big day.

1. Begin your makeup routine by preparing your face. We recommend the usual, cleansing (The Body Shop Aloe Calming Facial Cleanser, $14.50), toning, (Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist, $22) exfoliating (Ole Henriksen Walnut Complexion Scrub, $24) and moisturizing (Mary Kay TimeWise Age-Fighting Moisturizer Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30, $22).

2. Follow this step by applying a makeup primer. We recommend Clinique Superprimer Color Corrects Dullness In Deeper Skins ($27).

3. Next, if you have dark circles or other blemishes, dab Clinique Advanced Concealer ($16.50). We love how it blends into the skin and creates the matte, powder-like finish.

4. For a subtle glow apply a highlighting powder, like BareMinerals Natural Light Face Lifting Duo ($19)along the top of your cheekbones.

5. Once done, glide on Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush ($26) for a natural-looking flush. The blush is super pigmented, blends perfectly, and is absolutely gorgeous.

6. Finish off your look by dabbing a few drops of M.A.C Sized To Go Fix+, a makeup setting spray, to keep your look natural, fresh and energizing.

Subtle Smokey Eye:

If there is one eye makeup look that is versatile, that will have you ready in no time and is effortlessly chic to complement your wedding look – it is our favorite subtle smokey eye!

1. Prep your eyes – yes, even for a simple look – with a silicone-based primer, like Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Primer ($50), so that the look you create doesn’t budge and you will end up with a more natural, dewy look.

2. Second, apply a light color; we picked a soft wash of bronze mark Star Status Eye Shadow Palette in Earth Angel ($14) and applied it on the inner corners and brow bone. This will act as a highlighter for your smokey eye and will help your eyes pop.

3. Now, take a darker black or brown shade, like Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette ($54), and blend the color seamlessly on the outer corners of your eye. Also, brush the color carefully on your bottom lash line to avoid harsh lines.

4. Next, wing out your top lash line with black pencil or eyeliner. Here, the model used Maybelline New York Line Stiletto Ultimate Precision Liquid Eyeliner ($7.25).

5. Now comes the trick to making your eyes look bigger – begin by curling your lashes with an eyelash curler,Revlon Eyelash Curler ($4). Then, to achieve long lasting and bold lashes, stick a full band of Eylure Love It, Layer it 117 ($15) to your upper and lower lash lines.

6. Finally, coat your top and bottom lashes with multiple layers of mark Lash Act Build & Define Mascara in Blackest Black ($ 12).

To amp up your eye makeup rock defined, statement eyebrows:

1. First, use an eyebrow brush to groom your long brows. The trick is to brush your brows in the same direction of their hair growth. Once groomed, ensure you cut off the excess length.

2. Now, brush Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara ($6) to sculpt and tint your brows.

3. Next, for the natural hair color and definition, scribble NYX Cosmetics Tinted Brow Mascara ($7).

4. Fill in your sparse areas with L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Designer Eyebrow Pencil ($8).

5. Finish the look by filling in the brows with powders. We prefer Anna Sui Eyebrow Color Compact ($28), which will create a bolder and well-groomed brow.

Rosy Lips:

For something more timeless, bold and grown-up, opt for a red color. Remember the color is best when worn matte and is perfectly paired with an even-toned skin.

To master the pigmented lip color, follow the steps below:

1. For those dry and cracked lips, moisturize well by applying lip balm generously. We recommend EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balm, ($2.99).

2. Once done, blot off any excess balm with the help of a tissue paper. Now apply a lip primer, like Becca Lip Perfecting Primer ($24). This silky cream formula will seal in moisture, smooth out your lips, fills in lines and helps make your bold lipstick last longer.

3. The next step is to line your lips with a liner. Lining ensures you have clean definition around your lips, the unwanted tones are balanced out, and your lip color lasts longer. Remember to pick a color close to the lipstick shade. Start with lining Cupid’s bow first, followed by the center of your lips. Now, line the rest of your lips. You can also fill in your lips with the pencil.

4. Next, with the help of a thin, lip brush apply your red lipstick evenly, starting from the bottom lip. Repeat the same on your upper lip. The model used Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Lipstick ($ 32).For a similar fierce shade, try MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick ($ 16).

5. Now comes the important trick that defines and holds long lasting power. Just grab a tissue, hold it over your lips and dust translucent powder on. Once done, reapply another layer of lip color.

So there you have it – our favourite, timeless and elegant bridal look. With barely-there makeup, bold eyes and rosy lips, a beautiful gown with rustic decor becomes merely a happy addition. How did you like this post? Do let us know in the comment box below.
