Best Bridal Makeup Looks of 2017
by Marianna Vigliotti on January 09, 2018
I cant even count the number of bridal makeup looks we did this year, so I compiled a list of my top favorite looks of ours personally, as well as, some popular inspiration images shot by real photographers that hit the charts for 2017. The most popular bridal makeup trend we saw was more eye makeup and more lashes. I think instagram is seriously becoming an influence on how we value and want our bridal makeup to be for our special day. All eyes were on point!
REAL BRIDE: With more done on the eyes were also seeing more lash. These are our custom mink lashes that give a nice open eye, and doll eyed effect! Loved this bridal makeup look on our bride Rachelle and we’ve been getting requests for this look ever since her October wedding!
REAL BRIDE AND INSPIRATION IMAGE: This stunner done by @jadeywadey180 hands down is for the bride who wants a bit of glamour on her wedding day. This bridal look is best with a lash extension application, followed by an extra strip on top for the extra lash length.
REAL BRIDE: For more of a matte, clean bridal makeup look, my clients have been sending me this gorgeous girls face for the almost the last 6 months! A Spring bride, we focused on bringing out her feminine facial features and kept her look clean and simple with our matte airbrush foundation.
INSPIRATION IMAGE: Soft, yet sexy bridal makeup, this is for the light, dreamy and airy feeling bride. The nude almost flesh toned lip color creates a very soft and dreamy feel. Most recommended on cooler skin tines, but can be be translated to warmer skin tones, with changing out a few eyeshadow colors.
REAL BRIDE: For her romantic, Parisian inspired wedding theme, our bride wanted a classic bridal look with LOTS of lash. Lashes have become a huge part of wedding makeup, as more and more brides want to experiment with different sets of lashes to create different looks, moods and feel.
INSPIRATION IMAGE: This is what most would call a natural look, but theres a lot of work still that goes into this look for it to appear natural. While this look is beautiful on most all skin tones, airbrush makeup is best with this type of look with a waterproof eyeliner pencil to eye enhancement.
REAL BRIDE: Jessica was one bride I could not forget! This bridal makeup look was personally customized to match her gorgeous wedding bouquet! While we chose to contour her eye lid, we opted for colors that helped set the stage for when she walked down the aisle. Gorgeous shot by the lovely Susie and Will Photography.
Hope some of these inspired you for your upcoming wedding! Got a favorite look? Post the look below so we can all share in on your inspiration!

I have to say with working with so many people coming from all over the place to get married Brianna and her team have this down to a science. Victoria came in and was absolutely AMAZING! I could not have dreamed of a more wonderful person to help make my day exactly as I had hoped for. My Mother In Law also looked amazing as for someone who is older, fairer skin and doesn’t wear a lot of makeup Victoria was great at communicating with her and making sure she looked great!- 7/31/18

Not only was Victoria fun and professional, she did beyond amazing job taking her time with each of us, she worked her butt off and worked late on a Saturday.- 12/13/2016

This was the single most relaxing moment I had prior to my marriage! If there is something that can happen in your day that makes you feel more relaxed, this is priceless! I did not have to look in the mirror to see the result, I only had to look in my husband’s eyes to know what a wonderful job they did! -6/13/2013

Lisa and Kristi were amazing!!! I had myself and a party of 8 girls including moms, and we all looked incredible! It was hard finding a team that accommodated such a large party, and these girls rocked it! They both asked alot of questions which I appreciated and I felt like a princess on my special day! -8/7/2017
