Deep set eyes
If your eyes are deep set, the best eye shadow colors for you are the lighter shades of colors as well as the opalescent or pearlescent colors that will make your eyes look bigger. The light eye shadow should be applied from the inner corner of the eyelids outward to the outer corner and a little bit beyond. Apply the darker shade of shadow on the socket line of the eye and a little above it and blend the colors thoroughly.

Wide set eyes
Applying a darker shade of eye shadow from the outer corner of the eyes to the center of the eyelids will lessen the distance between the eyes together with a lighter eye shadow brushed from the inner corner of the eyes to the middle of the lids. You can combine another color of eye shadow at the center and blend the colors well.

Close set eyes
Close set eyes need some correctors applied on the inner corners to widen the space between the eyes. With eyeliner, draw a thin line above the upper eye lashes thickening the line as it reaches the outer corner of the eyes. Brush a light colored eye shadow thinly from the inner corner of the eyes outward until you reach the middle of the lids and from there a darker colored eye shadow up to the outer corner. Blend the colors at the center of the lids and apply mascara more thickly on the outer lashes.

Soft smokey eyes
Considered one of the most popular and therefore best bridal makeup trends is a smokey eye makeup. This is understandable because smokey eyes call attention to the eyes. But soft smokey eyes are usually preferred rather than a too dark version of this makeup style, maybe to make the bride’s eyes look dreamy at the same time bold and smoldering. Soft smokey eye makeup is typically achieved with brown, champagne or even purple shadows.

Retro/vintage look
Old Hollywood glam of red pouty lips and laidback eye makeup is the best bridal makeup trends for brides who do not want emphasis on their eyes. To give the retro/vintage makeup a more contemporary vibe, choose wine red or classic red lipstick.

Full-lashed makeup
Eye makeup finish with lash extension is the choice of some brides and one of the best bridal makeup trends. Long, full curly lashes will transform a bride’s whole aura. Lash extensions applied even earlier than the wedding proper such as for the pre-wedding photo shoot will account for some memorable photos before, during and after the wedding and even up to the honeymoon.

Colors of the season
Another big favorite of brides are makeup colors to match the season making the colors of the season one of the best bridal makeup trends. In summer, a bronze look to make brides look like a beach babe is a big favorite while in fall or winter smokey eyes done in darker shades with a tinge of silver perfectly reflects the season. For spring weddings, the soft colors of spring will bring out the fresh and dewy beauty of a bride. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

Define the cheekbones
With the use of a big round powder brush, apply a light bronzer starting from the temples and brushing down in the direction of the cheeks all the way down to the jawline.

The dark shade will create a disparity between your face’s color and the color below your jawline.

Make the nose look narrower
Another makeup trick to make your face look slimmer is to make your nose look narrower and straighter. To do this, you will need a bronzer again but this time applies it with a small makeup brush. Sweep down the bronzer with a small brush down both sides of the nose until dark shadows appear. To make the tip of the nose narrower, brush bronzer over your nostrils lightly. The next step to make your nose look narrower is to apply translucent powder in a straight line down the top of your nose. The combination of darker shades on the sides and lighter line along the top will make the nose look narrower and slimmer. Photos Copyright of PR PHOTOS
