Wedding-worthy makeup ideas straight from the red carpet.
If you're looking for dewy skin, matte skin, nude lips, or red lips for your wedding day—we get it. Bridal beauty shouldn't be basic, boring, or predictable—it just has to be beautiful and authentic to the woman who's wearing it. Ahead, 16 of our favorite recent celebrity beauty looks to share with your wedding day glam team.
Smoke Show
Highlighter, glossy nude lips, smudgy black liner—this is a makeup look for a bride who isn't afraid to be a little sultry.
Matte and Nude
Adriana Lima proves that matte skin doesn't have to mean flat skin. We love how her skin still glows in all the right places, but overall her skin is powdery, nude, and flawless.
Glossy Red Lip
While nude lips are practical for a wedding, it doesn't mean you shouldn't at least try a classic red lip (at least for a few pictures, then you can wipe it off before the big kiss). We love how Joan Smalls made a red lip look even more luxe with the addition of patent gloss.
Flushed Cheeks
Kaye Bosworth rolled up to this year's Met Gala looking like an actual bride. While her makeup was striking and artful, we do love her intense rosy flush paired with a similar lipstick shade and flutter eyelashes. It's a romantic, soft, and timeless beauty look.
Glossy Skin
Kerry Washington gave us lash, highlighter, and blush inspiration for years to come with this glowy and golden beauty look from this year's Met Gala.
Wedding White
Margot Robbie wore a white Chanel gown to the Oscars this year—and in doing so gave us major bridal beauty inspo. Nude lipstick and a rosy blush are wedding signatures, but we love how she mirrored the whiteness of her gown with a shimmery silver eyeshadow across her lids.
Bright Lip
If red lipstick is your signature, we love how Léa Seydoux paired an electric orange-red shade with little other visible makeup, save for a touch of blush, natural eyeshadow, and mascara.
Gigi Hadid mixed both warm and cool tones to create this golden nude look at this year's Met Gala. Wearing all Maybelline, she proves that in a makeup artist's hands, there's no such thing as drugstore or luxury makeup.
