Brides looking to make their wedding dress the center of attention as they walk down the aisle will welcome one of this season's makeup trends: a clean, glowing face.
Vera Wang kept the focus on her detailed, strapless gowns, making up models with dewy skin and soft, barely-there lip color.
Monique Lhuillier showed a low-key look: hair loosely pulled back and radiant skin with just a touch of subtle pink lip color.
Reem Acra's models had soft, glowing blush and a hint of lip color.
The key to this fresh, dewy look is to go simple with the eye makeup and lips. Beauty expert Suzy Gerstein (suzygerstein.com) agreed to share a few easy—and straight-from-the-runway—makeup tips, from our makeup bag to yours.
STEP 1
After prepping your skin with a light moisturizer and eye cream, apply a sheer foundation. (Koh Gen Do's Moisture Foundation, $55; kohgendocosmetics.com)
STEP 2
Apply concealer, focusing only where it is needed. (Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener, $38; bobbibrowncosmetics.com)
STEP 3
Dust a powder with light-reflective properties under eyes, around nostrils and between brows. (Koh Gen Do's Maifanshi Natural Lighting Powder, $35; kohgendocosmetics.com)
STEP 4
Smile and then apply a bright coral blush to the apples of cheeks. (RMS Beauty's Lip2Cheeks in Smile or Rapture, $36; rmsbeauty.com)
STEP 5
Wiggle or dot a waterproof liner between the top eyelashes for a subtle lined effect—brown if lashes are fair, black if they're darker. (Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Liner, $21; bobbibrowncosmetics.com)
STEP 6
For lips, apply a reddish stain, topped with a subtle gloss. (Lancome's L'Absolu Rouge in Perfect Fig, $29; lancome-usa.com)
