Bridal Makeup Tips for Fair Skin
by Marianna Vigliotti on February 18, 2018
Bridal makeup for fair skin can be tricky especially if your not wanting to look too pasty on your wedding day. Here are a few bridal makeup tips that will keep you from not looking pasty, and makeup recommendations match that porcelain skin allowing you to embrace your fair beauty.
Scuplting Powders
For those who don’t know what sculpting powder is, it is a powder that allows you to contour and shade your face. It is different from a bronzer in the sense that sculpting powders have a grey undertone. The grey undertone helps you to be able to shade the face in a subtle way without looking discolored. I prefer the MAC sculpting powders available online only or in the pro-store in Sculpt or Bone Beige. Just make sure you have the compact or insert, as they come in pan size only.
Eyeshadows
Especially with bridal makeup, the more fair the better when choosing eyeshadow colors for your wedding day. When choosing colors for more fair skin, the lighter the better. Think light, matte, soft, and airy. I like to go with matte latte shades, soft pinks and light pale peaches, with a light champagne shimmer.
Lip Shades
Opt for nudes or pale pinky nudes. It will look pretty nude in the tube, but remember this has to blend in with your lips natural lip color, so if your lips naturally have a lot of color to them already, remember for bridal makeup, stick with the lightest hue. Lipsense shade, Praline Rose, is a perfect bridal makeup lip color that looks great on fair skin. Lipsense is a 16 hour weear kiss proof color that does not dry out the lips.
Foundations
Here is my biggest question in regards to bridal makeup! Whats the best foundations for fair, pale skin. There are several brands that offer a larger range of hues. I prefer Make Up For Ever HD liquid foundation, Dior Forever foundation in 10, or Temptu #1 shade is great for airbrushing options. It won’t damage your skin and you can find great ingredients to improve with the best upcycled skincare routine.
At the end of the day, its always best to leave your bridal makeup to a professional and allow them to find your perfect color match. However, hopefully these few bridal makeup tips will help you in choosing some shades on your own for everyday wear.

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

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
