Bridal Beauty Trends 2011
Bridal Beauty Trends 2011 What bridal beauty trends do you think you’ll want to do for your big day? How did you do your hair and makeup on your wedding day? Forget Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter – wedding season is my favourite season of the year! It’s April but most Stylist like me are gearing up for another busy year of bridal beauty. There is just something about brides – the wedding dress, the hair, the makeup, the excitement – no matter what your physical attributes brides all look stunning on their big day!
If you’re walking the aisle this year and you’re not sure how you should do your hair or if a Smokey eye is appropriate, you’ll want to read up on the latest bridal beauty trends for 2011. Here are some of my favourite and inspiring looks of the season!
Retro-Modern ElieganteCarolina HerraraThe Carolina Herrara show was full of inspiration! I love the Elieganteand simplicity of the hair and makeup. It’s simple but with the gorgeous us we say in frensh LA SIMPLICITÉ FAIS LA BEAUTE, calla lilies (one of my favourite flowers) the look has a modern feel to it. The hair is pulled low and slightly to the side with volume at the top. I love how the calla lilies peek through on the side. This would be gorgeous with an asymmetrical or off-the-should gown. I LOVE IT Carolina HerraraBlack liner will be a huge trend for this wedding season. It’s just so Eliegante, polished, and finishes the eye without adding a lot of colour. The skin isn’t dewy but luminous with a flawless finish. The lips have a nice creamy coral finish. I like the coral shade because it’s so fresh for Spring/Summer weddings. The brows are also prominent and a must for this polished look. Carolina HerreraI love the flapper ’20’s feel of this faux bob look. The waves and the finish of the hair is loose making it look more modern. The freshness of the makeup also gives it a more modern twist. If you have long hair and don’t want to have it completely off your face then this is a great alternative.
Earthy and All-Natural If you love boho-chic then this is a look for you. Everything about it is so ethereal. I love this look for brides doing a destination wedding on a beach. If you’re also not a tiara or veil type of gal, this is a great choice. Loose waves are a must for this look. The makeup is gorgeous! For the most part, the overall look is very sheer but the smoky definition along the bottom of the eyes gives this soft look a bit of edge. But even though the eyes are given definition, remember to smudge the liner to compliment the overall softness. This is a classic look that would be stunning on just about anyone. I love the glowing skin and effortless hair. This is another look perfect for a beach wedding. The waves are loose and flowing. I love that one side is pulled back while the other side has some waves framing the face. I always thought that a flower or hair clip should only be placed on the side that is pulled back, but the flower on the other side totally works.
. I love a Smokey look but am delighted when a bride wants to try it in a colour. This season you’ll be seeing it in gorgeous violet and steely-blue tones like on the bride pictured above.
Red lips will never go out of style and are back for this wedding season. It’s a classic. This Spring the red is more vibrant, but for your wedding day you’ll want to skip the trends and go with a shade of red that suits your skin tone. Those with fair to medium skin should choose a true red with blue undertones. Those with medium-dark and olive skin tones should go with a warm red like brick or red-orange. Tan to dark skin should stick to deeper shades of red in wine or burgundy.
No matter what the trends are, in the end always choose to look like YOU! Use the trends to enhance your natural beauty and never let the hair or makeup wear you. 😉
