THEAre you looking for bridal make-up inspiration for spring 2023? We talk about it with Enzo Micciowedding designers, event planner, fashion designer. «It’s not easy to feel flawless in one of the most beautiful moments of life, essential to start well is to focus on one of the most important aspects of the look, the make upwhich must be perfect and flawless».
Bridal make-up according to Enzo Miccio
«The basis of the faceregardless of skin color it must be bright. Attention, I said bright, not shiny! The suggestion is to do not expose yourself to the sun for a last minute tan and not even get to a biscuit-colored September wedding: it’s not chic with candor of the white dress» explains Enzo Miccio.
Therefore, in this delicate mission, «the use of light foundations is better to avoid the “mask” effect. Choose the nuance that is closest to your complexion and the most suitable texture for the season in which your wedding will be celebrated: more full-bodied and nourishing in winter and warmer and less consistent in summer».
Never without highlighter
How many shots will the smiling brides take? “Infinities, therefore it is good have the right lights and bright make-up at strategic points. Go ahead, then, to the illuminant which emphasizes and underlines the parts of the face to be enhanced with the light points: the chin, the cheekbones, the eyebrow arch, and obviously the delightful little nose! For yes day, avoid but the metallic ones».
Cheekbones emphasized? “AND the part that changes at the slightest movement of the lips and if you smile too much, which we hope will happen on a woman’s most important day, it can even touch your eyelashes. Then bkeep the colors light and nuanced with skilful brushstrokes that will help sculpt the face and give a volumizing effect».
Bridal eye make-up according to Enzo Miccio
And the eyes? «If it is true that they are the mirror of the soul, those of each bride have to shine. It is clear that it must correct and improve its opening to look bigger otherwise what “trick” would it be? I am not a fan of eyeliner especially for morning ceremoniesI prefer them instead shades made with pencil and completed by eyeshadow. The nude palette it is always a must combined with pearl gray and a touch of silver».
In the end, “tufted false eyelashes and mascara for an extra long effect. If you opt for eyeliner, recommended for evening receptions, you will have to work with a play of chiaroscuro in the tones of the complexion to make it deep and sensual. Needless to say, all strictly waterproof, a few tears at weddings, you know, they always run away!».
The kiss-proof mouth
«Imagine how many the new bride will have to give to the groom and the guests. Hundreds! So resistant lipstickand to be combined not only with the complexion but above all with the personality of the bride and the style of the dress. Have fun with gods rouge à lèvre nude, fire red, cherry color, shiny or matte, but remember the basic rule: if you choose to highlight the mouth, the eye should remain more neutral and viceversa”.
A tip for the décolleté
«I would not go for contouring on the wedding day. The white dress could get stained, so bet on a push-up effect with good lingerie.
Finally, for a quick touch-up during the long day, bring with you an opacifier, a lip pencil to redraw the contour and blend, a lipstick and a blush. And anyway, what are the bridesmaids for? To assist and pamper you, take advantage of it!».
