VIDEO: Look Gorgeous This Wedding Season
By Charleen Gonzalez for Shine Latina
If most of your friends are getting married this summer, you'll want to nail down an easy-yet-beautiful look to make your primping less laborious. Follow these five steps to an elegant, DIY bridal look.
Step 1:
Start with foundation for a flawless canvas. I chose Urban Decay Naked Skin Ultra Weightless Foundation. Make sure you hide any under-eye circles by adding concealer, like the Cargo Jet Lag Concealer. And to make sure all that base doesn't budge, add a setting spray like Urban Decay De-Slick.
Step 2:
Apply eyeshadow primer to ensure the longevity of your eyeshadow. I like the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer in Eden. For the next step, I used the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette, but you can choose whatever brand you prefer.
Apply a shimmering, white shadow to the inner corners of your eyes. Then take a light taupe and blend it along the crease of the eyes. Find a matte, medium-brown color and apply it to the outer corners of the eyes, and then lightly apply a matte black to the outer corner as well. Finish on the brow bone with a nude shade.
Step 3:
The last step for your eyes is to add a winged tip with liquid liner to the top lashes, and an ultra-waterproof mascara like Urban Decay Canon Ball Ultra Waterproof Mascara. Add some false lashes to look extra-glam Liberty Republic Lashes in Prima Donna are split in half for easier application.
Step 4:
Apply blush, bronzer, and highlighter to your cheeks. I love using Urban Decay Naked Flush because it has all three powders in one compact.
Step 5:
You can go for a bold lip, but I chose a nude pout to balance the smokiness of the eyes. My pick was Kardashian Beauty Au Natural Nude Lip Set.
