Are you a sexy stunning bride or a classy elegant bride?

Charliebob, 12 January, 2015 at 20:52 Posted on Planning 0 20

So I was just having a convo with my H2B and we were discussing my make up and hair for the day..

I was looking at soo many things on Pinterest and it seems you either go for the demure, elegant timeless bride, which is natural makeup and soft hair

FOR EXAMPLE


or the sexy siren route and have red lips, or glittery eyes and big hair!

FOR EXAMPLE:


IM TOTALLY STUCK!

What route are you guys all going down..

    I think you have to go for the look that is you, not a look that will turn you into a stranger.

    I think the first photo is very nice, bridal and natural. I would say the second is more for a night out x

    I'm going down the pin up style route for my hair and make up - I like the liquid eyeliner sharp lines flicking out at the corner of the eyes :] and red lipstick.

    I guess more like the first pic, but then that second one is more eye makeup than I would wear ever. I have small eyes and bad dark circles so with the addition of that much eyeliner I'd just look like I'd been punched in the face.

    I'm going more for the first one - I don't wear a great deal of make up anyway and I'm going to look so different in my lovely dress with my hair and veil etc so keeping my makeup relatively low key so I still feel like me underneath, also H2B said he wants to see the girl he fell in love with walk down the aisle, not someone who looks completely different!

    I'm going for the first look, but maybe with a more striking lipstick. I think if I went with the second photo I'd look like a clown! Plus, the OH hates eye make-up that dark. Basically I want to look like a prettier, more polished, version of me!

    I'm going for the first look, but with a little bit of browny creamy shadow on my lids and no eyeliner. Oh and a nice pinky lippy or lip dye stuff

    Hey ladies, just a heads up.

    Sometimes brides go so overboard with the eyeliner they looked half asleep a lot of the time and it's more difficult to get their eyes on camera.

    If your photos are important please consider El toggio. ?

    Definitely going for the first option, I want to look natural but polished. Make up trends tend to change so I don't want something out there that I like now and then change my mind about. Less is more for me.

    I will definately be going more towards the first look, but probably with a pinker lipstick.

    Sexy siren is just not 'me'... unfortunately

    I actually have this image saved to show to my MUA for inspiration! That's what I'm going for Smiley winking I don't tend to wear much make up anyway, I'm hoping to go for the "me but on a really really good day" look

    I'm a bit of a closet goth, so i'd love to have dark dramatic eyes in theory- but in reality, I know what Chris says is true, so i'll go a little more minimal and perhaps go with darker nails or something instead.

    I love this though but with slightly darker lips. Pinks look dreadful on me.

    I shall also be going for the more natural look, I dont wear much make up (usually just to try and even out my skin a bit), partly cus I never have time in the mornings, and partly cus ive never practised doing cool proper eye shadow/eyeliner stuff. I'll be going fairly natural but with hopefully a slightly bolder/brighter more pink lipstick...I just want to look look like a pretty polished version of me!

    I think this is what all brides should go for on the wedding day! I went for the first one, natural but flawless. I felt fabulous all day, and looked fresh. If you wore that much dark make up, you'd constantly be having to touch it up, and you don't want to be worrying about that on your wedding day.

    i totally disagree - i wear dark make up all the time and as long as it is set properly and not just left after putting on it stays on just like any other make up Smiley smile
