Bridal Makeup Trends evolving in 2021 post pandemic

Makeup is 7000 years old art which has been evolving, changing and getting better over a period of time. Bridal Makeup Services have gone through tremendous changes and so has the techniques and makeup products in makeup industry. Everyone is trying out a style, experimenting a new color combination and to be honest that is the beauty of makeup, it never gets boring.

Although makeup is a personal affair, Sometimes events and occasions trigger a trend that everyone starts following. Professional makeup artists are expressing themselves more and setting up some amazing new bridal trends. 2021 is when things are expected to fall in place. Let’s take a look at the bridal makeup trends.

Lipsticks

History says whenever our world has been hit hard like a recession, world wars or any other natural disaster women of this world have started wearing bright red lipsticks. It’s almost like recovery therapy. More and more brides are choosing to wear brighter lipsticks to light up the event and get that fresh starter look in their events.

MJ Recommendation: We personally recommend our brides to go with nice ombre lips this year which will make you look fuller and subtle. We will though not write off Nudes which is still loved by many.

Eye Makeup

All that mask, all that covering the face has triggered special focus on eyes. You may forget everything but you cannot forget your eye makeup. We have been receiving a lot of requests lately on detailed eye makeup. They want everything and are super excited. There are two trends, Glittery eye makeup with cut and crease and Smokey eyes which never goes out of fashion. Entire concept is to pop the eyes and make it center of attraction.

MJ Recommendation: We recommend to create a balance between eyes and lips. If you are going with glitters on your eyes with detailed cut & crease kind of extensive makeup then go easy with lip shades. In fact choose nude colors to enhance your overall look. However if you choose to get a smokey eyes makeup done then you have the flexibility of playing with bright colors on your lips. Do not hesitate to try out colored lenses that you are comfortable to carry.

Contouring, Foundation, Highlighting and Blush

It is totally a personal choice depending on your face shape and skin tones. However we do see a trend of blush and highlights coming back in fashion in 2021. Remember we are beating our blues with colors. Blush brings blush on your face as simple as it can be defined and our brides are choosing to look naturally flushed and enjoy every moment. Highlights makes you look upbeat, fresh and photo ready.

MJ Recommendation:

With overall detailed eye and lip makeup we recommend to go for a matt finish especially if you have oily or combination skin type. Play with the blush and highlight as its 2021 essesntials. There is a lot happening on your face and if you keep a glossy hue then things may turn little loud. Knock yourself out if that is how you want to look and enjoy your day. There is nothing right or wrong but all about balance.

Hair

We are seeing simple hairstyles coming back in fashion, Brides are not looking for complicated designs but choosing neat or messy buns in north India while in south India there is not much choice as they have to go for a traditional hairstyle called as Jada. May be because we are having one day weddings

MJ Recommendation

If your hair has not been styled well then everything else would look submissive. Make sure you get a hairdo which suits your face. Forget that picture which you downloaded from Internet. Talk to your Professional Makeup Artist and decide on the one which suits your face, and matches your bridal dress and jewelry. Go easy on those hair accessories, Use flowers if necessary.

Final Conclusion

Wedding brings happiness in the air and since we have lived through 2020, do not hesitate to experiment. Remember there are no rules. Do whatever you want, stay happy!

However as a premium makeup artist I will suggest to maintain the balance. If you want amazing fully loaded eye makeup then go easy with your lips, if you want subtle eyes with a story then play with colors and contour your lips. Makeup has a dependency on what you wear hence always make sure you discuss your wedding dress and jewelry with your makeup artist. Bring colors in your makeup, send out a victory message, smile and stay safe.

God bless you all
