Our Favourite Wedding Makeup Looks For 2022
As you prepare for your big day, a flawless makeup look can be just as empowering as the perfect wedding dress. In recent years, bridal transformations have evolved to combine elegance with natural charm. To gain insight into the latest trends, we turned to two celebrated Bridal makeup artists, Melissa Sassine and Karla Roccuzzo, who shared their expertise on 2022’s most sought-after Wedding Makeup looks.
While minimalism remains a popular choice, many brides are opting for subtle enhancements that still make them feel like the best version of themselves. This shift towards understated yet radiant beauty is characterized by a focus on bronze tones, soft blush accents, and delicate shimmer effects. Additionally, makeup artists have been busy getting back into their groove post-Covid, and it shows in the refreshed, revitalized looks that are making waves this wedding season.
The Minimalist look
As the perfect blend of effortless elegance and timeless sophistication, a minimalist wedding makeup look has emerged as a top favorite among brides-to-be. By opting for a dewy complexion, earthy-toned eyeshadow, and a subtle lip color paired with soft, flowing waves, you can effortlessly exude polish and poise on your big day. This understated yet radiant aesthetic is a testament to the beauty of simplicity, where less truly means more.
According to Melissa Sassine, this trend aligns perfectly with the resurgence of minimalist gowns featuring luxurious silks, which complement the ‘less is more’ approach to makeup, including natural-looking brows and subtle liner or even shadow liner. Furthermore, she notes that another enduring trend is the desire for ‘Bridal hair and outfit changes’ throughout the day, aiming to highlight one’s unique features and embody the philosophy that beauty is ‘the best possible version of yourself…
inside and out!’
Bronze baby
Fairies, creamy brown tones have taken center stage as one of our top picks for wedding makeup looks. When used across the eyes and lips in a monochromatic scheme, this colour palette effortlessly adds warmth and depth to any complexion. Its silky texture and comfortable wear make it a timeless choice that exudes understated sophistication. Moreover, its subtle yet impactful charm ensures no bride will go wrong with this sun-kissed beauty look.
Blush tones
Infusing your look with a single pop of color, a swipe of monochromatic pink across the eyes, cheeks, and lips creates a timeless and radiant appearance. This effortless yet chic look is a classic choice that never goes out of style and consistently ranks among our top wedding makeup inspirations.
Subtle shimmer
Subtlety has become the new standard in makeup looks, with subtle shimmer taking center stage. A delicate dusting of sparkle on the lids is all it takes to elevate and brighten one’s gaze. This understated yet impactful look requires only a whisper of colour – think soft pink lips and a light application of bronzer across the cheekbones. As the trend continues to gain momentum, shading appears to be taking a well-deserved backseat.
Soft matte shadows
A hallmark of elegance for every bride, a soft matte makeup look adds an air of sophistication to her overall appearance. When executed with precision and attention to detail, this timeless style can effortlessly elevate even the most understated of looks. The subtle sheen and natural finish create a radiant, yet understated, beauty that perfectly complements the bride’s complexion. We adore witnessing this classic look on brides, as it exudes an undeniable charm and poise.
