Your Bridal Makeup Style Is…
THE VINTAGE BRIDE
A vintage bridal makeup look is for those that love a red lip and a retro vibe. The style typically features a bold black eyeliner to give that throwback look. Most think of the 1950’s Marylin Monroe makeup when they think of vintage, but vintage can be any style that is not from this time frame. Looks can range from a thin browed 1920’s vibe to a 1980’s pop of color style. But for the typical vintage bride, they want the glamor of the 40’s and 50’s. This look includes a bright red lip with medium to full coverage foundation. The blush is pink with no highlight or contour. We love this look for vintage themed weddings or any bride that wants to up the sex appeal for their big day!
