Bold Blush:

Blush is back in a big way for brides this spring and summer. Top cheekbones with highly hued pops of pink and coral for a chic take on this look.

Let There Be Light:

While glassy-skin finishes have been in vogue for a few years, hued highlighter is a decidedly current take on a healthy glow. Finish the high planes of cheekbones with sheer, lustrous shades of lavender, pink, rose gold or platinum highlighters to stay in your best light throughout your big day.

Statement Lip:

This season is seeing a bolder take on bridal lips with color taking center stage. Try a Hollywood red or a poppy pink to make a statement down the aisle.

Sprinkle Some Shimmer:

Bring your bridal eye-makeup look up to the minute with flashy swipes of luminous, metallic-toned eye color. Add luster to your lids with a sheer shimmer or bolder metallic for a de rigueur update on a natural bridal look.

Pretty In Pink:

Pink may be a tried and true accent color for bridesmaids and bouquets, but 2023 has the rosy hue gracing lids, cheeks and lips, too. Pinks can work for both understated and bolder looks. Go with a soft pastel pink for an update on a classic bridal look—or kick it up to couture with an unabashed brighter tone.
