These Natural Wedding Makeup Trends Are Anything But Boring

A visit to cloud nine is an enormous lift (it’s a protracted haul, expensive, hotel rooms get sold out, etc.). But dreamy cloud skin is a reasonably good compromise. This soft-focus, matte, marshmallowy look is an angelic wedding day look that isn’t very hard to realize. “It’s mainly just healthy, fresh-looking skin with out a reflective highlighter shine,” says makeup artist Jenny Patinkin. Stick to matte or satin-finish foundations and bronzers, then top it off with a mattifying setting powder to maintain shine at bay.

There are two kinds of people: Those who paint brown and white stripes on their face and buff all of it out for a wonderfully sculpted look (see TikTok) and those that prefer something slightly more subtle. Subtle is your friend with regards to natural wedding makeup, so underpainting your contour—applying your contour and highlighter before your foundation, not on top of it—may also help soften things up a bit. “It also allows more room for error,” says makeup artist Kate Mellinger. The result’s less jungle cat and more Greek statue.

Mellinger recommends this blendable matte contour as a primary step. Apply to the perimeters of the nose, under the cheekbones, under the jawline, and across the temples, then mix it out so there aren’t any hard edges. (Remember, we’re going for gentle here.)
