Makeup should reflect your
personality. In spite of traditions, you should choose a look that reflects who
you are. If you are a reserved woman,
a minimalist, then the traditional look may be perfect for you. If you are someone
who likes to make a statement and isn't afraid of changing your look (hair
color, hair style, and experimenting with new makeup colors), you may want to
try smoky eyes for your wedding day. "Smoky" does not necessarily
imply black eye shadow. It's a misconception.
Classic smoky eyes can be achieved with other colors such as browns (Sonya) and
grays. This avoids the “goth” look. It is completely possible to look like an
elegant bride with smoky eyes and not appear overly done. Top the look with some
lashes, and apply a neutral lip color. This look makes for a gorgeous face, and
you will be receiving compliments all night.
