 I am so excited for today's video. I am in my element. I'm doing a bridal makeup tutorial. A lot of you guys have asked for product recommendations for me to do a tutorial. So I'm gonna do a bridal 2022 look. If you don't know, I actually was a bridal makeup artist for the last four years. I've taken this year off since I just moved to a new city. But bridal makeup is my forte. I feel like I have a lot of good tips. I'm not using any products for my makeup kit, quite frankly, because I didn't want to sanitize them. But I'm using some of my favorite products in my own personal collection to, you know, create a look that I think I would like to get married in again. So let's get to it. First things first is skin prep. That's gonna be one of the most important parts because not only is this bridal makeup, it's event makeup. So you want it to last a long time and for it to look good for a very long period of time. So for my skin, I have dry skin. So I'm gonna start off with something intensely hydrating. This is the Charlotte Tilbury Shellets Magic Cream. This is one of my favorite pre-makeup moisturizers. I think on my clients, I use Embry Elise. So I'll use their moisturizer on my dry skin clients and I'll use it on oily too, kind of depending on their skin. But if they stress to me that their skin is super duper oily, then I have an oil primer that I use from Embry Elise. Now for me, I don't need to do anything for longevity on my skin prep. I'm just gonna use a nice long wearing foundation. So since I have dry skin, I just want this all to soak in. Now for foundation, I get asked a lot about what is a great bridal foundation. Dior Air Flash is my number one all time favorite foundation. I will link down below the makeup look that I actually did for my own wedding. If you wanna check it out, those are tried and true amazing products. It's more of a pinky rosy look. Today I'm not going so pinky rosy. But another great one is the Estee Lauder Double Wear. This is a classic, classic product. It lasts a really long time. It's more matte. This is gonna last from morning till night of your wedding day. It's one of the best products. But to get that bridal glow that's very trendy, I'm gonna mix in some of Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood flawless filter. I really don't know too many bridal artists that don't have this in their kit because it is incredible. And I'm gonna go ahead and mix the flawless filter and Estee Lauder on the back of my hand because I want the longevity of the Estee Lauder. But since it is a more matte foundation, I wanna mix it in with the filter to give it a subtle, subtle glow. So I'm gonna use my fingers to apply this. And by the way, this isn't how I would actually apply makeup on a client. This is if a bride is doing their own makeup. This is what I recommend doing. I'm gonna use a damp beauty blender. I'm gonna push this into the skin. On my bridal client, I use a mixture of liquid and airbrush. Or sometimes I just use airbrush depending on the client's skin. So that's different based on client to client. You know, if the client needs a lot of coverage, a lot of evening, then I will use a liquid foundation or a cream foundation for coverage. And then I lock it in with the airbrush because I feel like airbrush makeup lasts a really long time. You can definitely see the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter mixed in. They're giving us such a pretty bridal glow. This foundation is really matte. But with that Hollywood Flawless Filter mixed in, it gave such a beautiful bridal glow to the skin. And if you're doing your own makeup for your wedding and you don't want to purchase this because it's so expensive, Charlotte Tilbury does sell these in a smaller size, which might be really nice for you to get it out for a better deal if you're not gonna use it every single day. But it's a great product to just happen in your collection period. Next up is eyebrows. So I'm just gonna brush my brows up. One of my favorite products to use for eyebrows is eyebrow powder. I feel like it is a timeless brow look. Depending on what you need for the brows, obviously it's gonna depend on what product you're going to use. But I think powder gives such a natural soft brow look. I mean, you guys know, brow trends are always, always changing. So I don't like to do anything too trendy unless obviously the bride or client requests that. I've had a couple clients request the feather brow and things like that, but I just feel like the powder gives a timeless, natural brow look. It just fills in with whatever they are naturally working with. I normally follow the natural shape of the client because yes, we've done the pomade brow, we've done the natural brow, we've done the feather brow and we all look back at those photos and we're like, whoo. So I just tried to do the brows in a way where no matter what time period you look back on it, you aren't embarrassed by how your brows look. So I keep them pretty soft like this. Then if there are any extra sparse areas, I'm gonna go in with a brow pencil. This is the Isam Brunette brow pencil. It is amazing. I love it because it has such fine strokes. And so for me where I like a little bit more is at the arch of my brow because that's where it's really sparse. So you can really see the powder. So I like to go in with a pencil to make it a little bit more sharp and hairlike. So just like that. I don't go in with the whole brow. You guys know if you've seen me do my brows before, if I use a pencil, I do the whole brow but I don't know for events and timeless looks, I don't always like using that technique. Okay, and then a brow gel that will not do you wrong is the Benefit 24-Hour Brow Center. There are so many amazing brow gels on the market that particularly came out in the last couple of years. But this one, I mean your brows don't go anywhere. It's not too harsh of a brow gel but it really does set them in place. So I like to brush the insides of the brows up and then out for the rest. Just to give them a nice shape. All right, let's move into the eyes now. We'll come back and do concealer later because you don't want any fallout to get on your face makeup. So my favorite primer of all time is the Kaleidos Toner Activator. It gives you some coverage while also helping your eyeshadows pop more. It's just perfect. So I'm going to get it on a brush and sometimes I don't do this. I'm just gonna do it today because my brows are a bit unruly but I am going to clean up underneath the brows. In terms of the timeless look, I don't recommend doing this but if you like it, then just do it. I like the way it looks. So on myself, I'm gonna do it. Just gonna put that all over. Okay, now for eyeshadows. On my clients, I typically use Vizzy Art or ABH shadows. So I put out some Vizzy Art shadows to use today. These are for my personal collection. So I just wanted to give them a little bit of use and I think we're gonna do a really clean, simple, neutral look. This is the Vizzy Art Neutral Matte. You can get this in a smaller size for a bit more of an affordable price because this is $80. But if you get the smaller size, you can get this for $40 and it's an amazing palette. Not just for bridal, just any neutral that you're gonna need. You're going to love this. I'm gonna start off with a BK Beauty A501 and we're gonna go into the cream shade and I just want to set underneath the brow and brighten up this area right here. I want a really light bridal kind of eye. So I'm gonna take that shade and I'm gonna put it all in the inner corner as well and that's going to brighten up the eyes. Just like this. It will look less crazy once we have the other shadows on but that brought a lot of light to the eye. Okay, I'm gonna go in with this shade right here. It's about a shade darker than my skin tone. I'm gonna use this as our first transition color. I want to keep it pretty light so that's why this is only like a shade lighter. But this is gonna start off that depth to the eye and the reason that I use Vizzy Art Shadows is because they are just a foolproof product and of the best mattes in the industry to work with. For a really a classic look, you want to keep the dark colors only in the outer corner. I normally blend my dark colors all the way inwards but I'm not gonna do that today. So we're gonna start off with this shade right here. It's just a typical neutral classic brown and I'm going to place this in the outer corner and I'm gonna kind of go at an angle. So I'm placing it out and then I'm bringing it in just a little bit. We're gonna blend that out just like this and you see how beautiful that Vizzy Art quality is doing most of the work for us. It's really trendy right now to kind of have that cat eye effect. So that's why I'm blending it out. While this is a classic makeup look, I'm still trying to keep it relevant to 2022. Just like that and it's okay like to get messy with it out here. We're gonna clean that up. Morphe M507 and we're going a little deeper right here and I'm gonna just circle this even closer in the outer corner not quite blending it out so much as the last color. And you can see we're starting to build that depth out here. And then we're going here. This palette is perfect for that neutral gradient ombre blend. With each shade that gets a little deeper, the area that we're blending it in gets smaller and smaller and smaller because you want the deepest focus to be out here. That typically is what is flattering for most eye shapes. Obviously that doesn't go for every eye shape but it's very flattering on a lot of eye shapes. And if you do feel like you want to blend it a little more, you can always take that first brush that you use to soften everything. We're gonna take the black, yes the black and we're gonna focus this on the most outer parts closest to the lower lash line. So we are gonna use eyeliner later on and we want the eyeliner to blend into this little speck of black that we're adding. I mean, I'm using just the tiniest amount. So we're moving back to the eyelid. I'm going to take this second shade right here. It's a little bit darker than the very first matte shade that we use and I'm gonna use this all over the eyelid, just like that. I think matte looks are so pretty on brides. Most brides do an a little pop of shimmer but sometimes if I just think the vibe is matte, I'll do the matte look. And they'll be like, do you want me to add shimmer? There's something so clean about an all matte look that I love, love, love. We're gonna leave it on that in terms of getting a touch of shimmer. I'm just gonna do it to show you. I wanna keep it mostly matte but I want like a pop right in the center just to bring a little attention to the eye. So this is the bridal statin palette from Vizier. I don't know if they sell this anymore but I'm just taking a light golden champagne and I'm just gonna pop it literally just to touch in the center. Like that's it. Just to add a little bit of interest and dimension to the eye. Really subtle sparkle. I mean, this is a satin shade. It's not even shimmer and I'm not against shimmer. I want to add that. I do a lot of looks. I like a glitter on a bride but this is the vibe that I was going for today. Now I'm gonna move on to eyeliner since I'm happy with the eyeshadow. I'm gonna use the MAC Black Check Fluid Line. This is my gel liner of choice on my clients. It's not as black as I would like it to be but I love the formula. I feel like it doesn't run. If I need it more black, I will put a powder over top but since I'm going with a more natural look today I don't even mind that it's not super black. So we want to keep the eyeliner pretty thin but we do want the eyeliner there to work as a base for our falsies to lie on. So I'm just going to get a pretty thin line to run across my upper lash line. I can't talk when I do this so give me a moment. And then also this is going to look really at great in pictures, tight line. So get it in between each lash. I don't do this on an everyday basis but for events and photography you definitely want to do this. So then I'm gonna go in with a tiny, tiny pencil brush into the black and I'm gonna blend the liner in the outer corner. Just a little bit. Okay, so we're gonna move back out to the face. So I'm gonna take a makeup wipe and I'm gonna clean up the under eye area. This is why I did not do my concealer yet because it cleans up any of the shadow that fell down and you don't want that on your wedding day it will show up in photography. So make sure we keep it nice and clean. Just like that. And if you want you can make it into a wing and that's a little bit more trendy. I like that look though. So I'm not gonna do like an intense wing up but I'm gonna clean it up. So while that dries, I want to do a cream contour. Sometimes I'll do this on clients. Sometimes I won't, depends on their skin type and the intensity of the look. For today's look I want a nice structured face. So I'm gonna start off with the makeup by Mario Cream Contour Stick. This is a shade Light Medium. It's one of my favorites. And since I want that sculpted look because the sculpted look right now is quite trendy for weddings. So I think that's what I want to do. So I'm going to look at the mirror dead on and where I see my cheekbones I'm gonna put the product in there. So anywhere where you can see a slight indentation that you want to enhance put the product right in the area or where you would want that indentation like right here can get the forehead as well. I normally like to do a little bit on the forehead. Okay, and then we're gonna blend that in. For the makeup by Mario product in particular I like to use the brush that it comes with to add that sculpt. Love the color on this, that's why I'm using this. And this cream contour stick is not too creamy so it actually lasts a long time especially once you put powder on top. So that's another reason why I'm using this is the longevity that this product has. So it's great, great, great for event makeup. But again, if I'm doing like a classic bridal very natural and against natural beauty look I won't do this. This is just for if my client really wants a sculpted look and they're happy with the look of makeup on themselves. Okay, now for concealer I pulled the one size turn up the silk concealer. I love this concealer. I use a whole different range of concealers. NARS Creamy Radiant you can't go wrong with. I love Armani's concealer. I use Too Faced concealer. Sometimes I'll even use Tarte Shape Tape even though I personally hate that concealer. I think it provides such great coverage that there are some folks who need that. Most brides I will do a color corrector. I don't find that I have a deep need for a color corrector but the Becca Under Eye corrector is really nice. Again, I use a few different color corrector. Charlotte Tilbury has a great one. This particular shade from one size has a yellow base to it which is another reason that I didn't use a color corrector because it kind of color corrects itself. I'm gonna put this underneath the eyes. Whatever's left on my sponge I'm gonna use the concealer in other places around my face particularly the T zone area. This is going to stop that oh she has concealer on look to make it look more natural if you put it on other places of your face. Then I'm also gonna put a little bit to lift my cheekbones right here. And I don't do this always but this is for a more dramatic sculpted look. This is just gonna lift everything. And I use this concealer in particular instead of powder because again I wanna bring back the color of the concealer into other parts of my face to create a more natural look. Let's also cream contour the nose a little bit. I like to use cream contour for nose contouring using my fingers to warm it up. Then I'm just gonna go straight down the middle. I find that this is the best way for me to do my cream contour. It's really easy to get that straight look down the middle. Then we are going to blend that in. And I know it looks unnatural now but once we get powder and stuff on that will make it look better. Cause a nose contour looks fabulous in photography. Now it's time to powder. Now powder can be weird. I get a lot of questions about powders for clients. If you have oily skin I recommend powders. If you have dry skin I recommend a lighter layer of powders. If you are younger you can use more powder. If you're more mature the less powder the better. I always like a little bit of powder though. I think it's necessary especially if you have a wedding in the heat it's good to put some powder on. So if a client is a little on the younger side doesn't have as much fine lines I don't like to bake but I like to do a heavier powder on the under eyes because that actually keeps the concealer in place. So I'm using my Hood of Beauty Pound Cake loose setting powder. This is one of the best powders and I'm just gonna press it underneath the eyes. Again, not as heavy of a bake but I'm really locking in the concealer. If you have more mature skin like Mother of the Bride or anything like that I don't recommend doing this. A lot of times with more mature clients I don't even put powder on the under eyes. If you notice the concealer kind of swimming just use your fingers and pat it out. I don't set it for that reason. I use a little bit of setting spray to set the under eyes like on a sponge or something. But when you lock in powder like this it really does help with longevity. And this powder really does a great job of hiding pores and all of that. Do you see how smooth my skin looks? And then for the rest of my face to set I'm gonna use just a touch of the NABLA Smooth Pressed Powder. And I'm not gonna put this much places but I love this because it smooths the skin as well. So I'll put it like right under here where I want everything to be skin toned and I'll put it in my T-zone area like right here where I have a lot of pores and then up here. And then that's all I'm doing with this powder but I love the way that this powder looks which is why I finish with this. I'm doing just a touch of Powder Bronzer. We did most of the contour with the makeup by Mario but for event makeup I do want to set with powder because we want this makeup to last a long time. I'm using the Tom Ford Glow Bronzer in Terra. This has a little bit more warmth in it. The makeup by Mario isn't warm but it's not extremely cool but it's more of a contour shade. I definitely want something a little bit warmer to set on top. I'm just using a very light amount. It's gonna stick to the cream bronzer so you don't need too much but just enough to add a little bit of warmth back into the face. Now if the bride is going for like a beachy bronze then I'll use more bronzer but if we're going more sculpted we don't need too much bronzer. That still was a lot though. And then blush, have to go with Hourglass. I actually did pull some cream blushes. If I have a client who's very oily or extremely dry one of the two extremes I actually do like to use a cream blush because they will hydrate the dry skin or I'll use a cream blush and then a powder blush on top for longevity on somebody with oilier skin. I don't think I'm gonna use that today because the look is a little bit more sculpted. I don't need as vibrant of a blush but if I do need a vibrant blush cream blushes are your best friend. I think we'll keep it a little bit more natural but you can't go wrong with Hourglass blushes. I pulled the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Universe palette that came out over the holidays and I am going to use a mixture of these two blushes. I like the Hourglass blushes because they have a beautiful bridal kind of sheen to them. That's still really natural and looks amazing in photography. So I'm gonna go ahead and use that right here on my cheeks. This is a BK Beauty A507 by the way. Then get a little bit in the center of the nose to kind of bring everything together. That brings the face to life. Now make sure you over apply blush because you're doing a long event, blush fades. It's one of the first things to fade on your face. So you want a little bit more than you're comfortable with to start. It also gets very drowned out in photography as well. And then I'll do highlight after I finish my lower lash line. Lower lash line, I'm gonna start off with this light shade right here, the second shade. I'm gonna focus this on the inner half of the lower lash line and then I'm gonna go in with the lightest shade. I'm gonna focus this in towards the center kind of where you would put an inner corner highlight. Okay, now we can start with the depth. I just wanted the brightening shades down. So I'm gonna take the shade right here and I'm gonna focus it on the outer third of the lower lash line and then we're gonna deepen. And just like with the upper half of the eye, the darker the color, the less surface area we wanna give it. And finally, just a touch of black. Okay, let's do highlights before we move into lashes and whatnot. Again, hourglass, this is the ambient highlight palette. This is the strobe light formula. So these are a little bit more metallic. I don't normally go super metallic with bridles. Sometimes I go with the softer highlights that hourglass has, love my hourglass palettes. They have softer options in their palettes, but I feel like since this look is quite matte minus the blush, I want to have a pop-in highlight. And pop-in highlights are out for 2022, but I think they look really nice in photography. So I'm gonna go in with the champagne shade and I'm just gonna focus that right on the high point of the cheek, just like that. So that way in photography, even though I have quite a matte base, there still is gonna be something to pop. Unless, obviously, sometimes the all-matte look is what we're going for. But I'm not going for all-matte today. I'm also gonna take some of that same highlight and I just want to put it on the inner corner of the eye to lift that up as well. And then before we get into lashes, you want to set your face. I'm using Charlotte Tilbury flawless setting spray. I also like the Urban Decay. Longevity is key here, so I'm gonna spray my face. If my bright skin looks a little thirsty before I do the setting spray for longevity, sometimes I'll do something more hydrating like MAC Fix Plus. I'll let that dry and then I'll finish off with a spray of this. Personal opinion here, but I think that eyelashes are one of the most important parts to wedding makeup. So I'm gonna start off with mascara. This is not waterproof, but my number one tip for you is to use waterproof mascara for a wedding. This is the Patrick Tell Major Volume Mascara. So I'm gonna pop this on. I'm gonna focus it mostly on my lower lashes and I'll do the falsies. The perfect bridal lashes. This is one of the most important parts of this video. You need to look in the Ardell Naked section. The best for bridal looks. They are natural, but they add the volume. So my favorite for something a little bit more natural, but still dramatic enough to lift the eyes are the 424 Naked lashes. For mothers of the bride or somebody who is not as comfortable as false lashes, I try and convince them to wear 420 because sometimes clients don't want to wear falsies and I'm like, let me just put this on your eye. Because the lashes make the look right. So 420 is great if you're not comfortable with lashes. 424 to amp it up a little bit more. So I love these because they look so natural. They literally look like lash extensions. You know, falsies, even though I love a good dramatic lash, they're more of a trendy thing, you know, especially if they're too big. So we want to keep it timeless. So something like this is going to enhance the eye, but add the drama. I'm actually going to pop these on off camera. And when I come back here and be like, a new person, a whole different look. See lashes are game changer. These are still natural enough, but they still give a little bit of pal and attention to the eyes. Now for lips, I'm such a huge fan of a pinky lip for bridal look. I didn't want to go quite so pinky today since the look is so neutral. So I pulled out the Hood of Beauty lip contour in the shade Honey Beige. This is a little bit more neutral than what I typically do. But I think it's going to compliment the look a lot. So this has a little bit more peach to it, which I think it's going to go with my blush. I am going to slightly overline the center of my lips. But again, the big lips overlining trend is a trend, but we do want to be a little bit more pouty in the center. Just like that. So just like that, that's perfect. And with lip liners, I do actually recommend covering the whole lip because if your lipstick fades, at least you have a second layer. And then on top of that, I pulled the Milk Makeup Lipstick in the shade Skills. It's kind of like a neutral peachy shade, which I think it adds enough brightness to the lips, but it still stays true to the neutral look. Just going to. And then let's do a gloss. I'm going in with Sunset Rose by Pat McGrath. I wanted to add just a hint of rosiness, like a hint. I don't want a rose lip, but that gets the perfect amount of rose that it needs. And this is also my favorite lip gloss formulation. This is the makeup look. Let me take my hairpins out and I will show you the final bridal 2022 look. All right, you guys. So here is the bridal makeup look that I came up with. I like it because it's classic with elements of something more modern. Like we have a little bit of a cat eye going on. We have a more structured look with our contouring, but it still is using those timeless classic colors. I love doing bridal looks. I miss doing bridal looks. This just makes me want to film more bridal makeup looks because I am super into this look. When I wear like kind of a bridal style makeup look, that is when I feel my prettiest. So anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this video and you found it helpful. If you are getting married, congratulations. Let me know if you use this tutorial to help you out.
