Gone are the big heavy hairdos, smoked out eyes, over lined red lips, bold blush-ons, synthetic eyelashes and nail paints that match outfits! The overall trending bridal beauty looks for the upcoming wedding season are a lot more subtle, regal and focused on accentuating natural features rather than adding dramatic, bold makeup to change the existing ones.

What’s trending in bridal hairstyles is cascade braids, sleek middle partings, tousled waves with heavy hair accessories and textured updos. 3D Mink Lashes are all the rage for brides this season, as they compliment any eye shape and add very high quality vibe to the overall look. For eye makeup, glittery eyes are so done and dusted, and for 2016 the focus of eye makeup is on metallic finish, which makes eyes stand out and look bigger. Skin is in for the brides this season. Natural looking base that matches your exact skin tone and makes the skin look fresh and dewy is very in for brides. Harsh contouring is absolutely out of style, and the focus is on a very blended natural finish. Peach and soft pink blush-ons that give the appearance of naturally flushed cheeks, is super hot for 2016. For lipsticks, Reds, Maroon, Plum, Coral Shades and shades of pink are trending this season.

Nails are an important part of your bridal look and this season its all about going French and neutral. To enhance the look of mehndi on your hands, what’s trending is French manicures, which are sophisticated and refined and will go with any dress color.

With the “Real Beauty” wave taking the world by storm, we believe the natural looking makeup vibes are here to stay and will make their way into 2017 as well, with a focus on skin and reduced use of harsh highlighting and contouring, which was previously trending.
