We're talking about the bridal makeup which can range from barely there to seductively saturated and more. If you're having a bridezilla moment picking out the perfect makeup look for you, loosen up, as we've rounded up all the wedding makeup inspiration you'd need right from dewy complexions to subtle smokey eyes. Whichever look you opt for, remember that makeup was created to add on to your beauty and not take away from it.

1. The Majestic Eye

A nude makeup look is almost every woman's favorite and they swear by its gorgeousness. Having said that, spotting brides wearing minimal makeup on their wedding is not an alien concept. If you're not exactly into makeup, and prefer simple muted shades, then this one is for you. To get the perfect stunning yet natural look, go for the neutral matte and pastel lip shades while you let the eye makeup get the limelight. Pick a soft yet glamorous smokey eye look that ranges from shimmery bronze to soft browns.

2. The Coral Chic

Planning a summer or beach wedding? Then this look is definitely for you. Try soft coral makeup to get a more well-rested look. It is the subtle way of looking stunning and leaving the audience in awe. It works well on medium and lighter toned skin and gives it a luminous finish. It can go from a pale peachy-pink to a bright coral red. Here too, the attention is seized by the eye makeup. Work up some warm hues or to make it even more interesting, mix them up! Just don't forget the cat eyeliner. To make it all the more glamorous, add some shimmer to it. It'll surely give you a standout stunning look.

3. Sun Kissed Bronze

For all the more subtle yet classy look, go for bronze shades. No matter what your skin tone is, you can never go wrong with bronze. It emulates a sun-kissed glow and enhances a tan. Providing you with a sheer shimmery look and a more sculpted face structure, it makes your skin look radiant and healthy. Working up with the warmth of the nude shades, it is the perfect way to get a natural, yet awestruck look. Twist of a cat eyeliner or the winged one, will go perfectly with it.

4. The Rose Gold Goddess

Stuck between pink and bronze? Just go for both! This gorgeous gilded look is so much in fashion these days and is so simple yet elegant. It gives you a peachy undertone with a touch of gold and will make you look like a goddess. This ombre eye style is super easy and is great for summers as it has a sun-kissed look. The fusion of pink and bronze gives a lite copper look, giving the perfect smoky eyes. Just make sure to get the perfect liner look!

5. Metallic Malika

If bright and bold is your thing, then go for it ! As the name suggests, it includes all the metallic hues like gold, silver, copper. It might sound daunting, but if you're a fan of the 90's you'll absolutely love it. Having an evening or fall wedding, you'll rock it! Not just that, you can infuse pink or green with the conventional gold and silver to give an even bolder and stunning look. Smoky eyes with a perfect stroke of liner and you're all set!

6. Tropical Colour Crush

​Are you bold and confident enough to go for the wilder shades and be able to carry them? People tend to stick to neutral shades over colourful shades, and play it safe with the regular bridal makeup looks. But why not experiment? You might just start a trend! Just don't let a few bright colours freak you out, try a fusion of dark blue and green or orange and gold. This will surely do the trick.
