For brides who want to level up their glamour.&nbsp;

Looking for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/wedding-nails-for-bride-nail-trend-bridal-beauty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bridal</a> makeup that&rsquo;s a little less classic? Change up the makeup on your special day to match your favorite style by turning to Hollywood for inspiration. These <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/every-look-2024-oscars-red-carpet-fashion-style-academy-awards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">red carpet-inspired looks</a> can give you a template for completely changing your bridal makeup look, or give it a twist for extra (and flattering) flair.

The Latte Makeup Look

Choose pinks and browns for a neutral color palette that calls to mind your favorite coffee order.

Conventionally, smoky eyes aren't a bridal look. But you can modify the heavy grays with rose and dusty pink colors to achieve a wedding day-ready version. Pair it with soft blushes and lip colors that fall along the same pink smoke or dusty pink spectrum.

It's natural to outline the foundation area or apply product on each region of your face. But some red carpet makeup artists advocate starting from the center. The amount of coverage will then gradually lessen so there's no harsh line around the edge of your face.

Classic reds can have a slight orange or yellow undertone that can make your teeth look dull. Opt for a berry-toned lip color with a light blue or purple undertone.

Touches of Extra Highlighter

Just like actresses on the red carpet, you're going to have a lot of photos taken on your wedding day. Add highlights to the interior corners of your eyes and above your cupid's bow to look refreshed and wide awake all day long.

For even more energy in your photos, add a little bit of shimmer to your highlights. This can brighten the whole look, and it captures the light well if you have a sunset wedding or twilight reception.

Opt for a thin flick of color to extend your upper lash line rather than a heavy cat's eye or lower-lid eyeliner. This can help you retain your signature style if you usually wear a cat's eye while modifying it for a more bridal look.

This applies to all brides, though why it works can differ. If you have light hair, adding a bit of definition to your brows can make your eyes more dramatic. If you have dark hair, adding color can also give you more control over the shape and how the color fades away at the end of your brows.

Blush That Complements Your Lips

For a red carpet-style look, add blush&mdash;and make sure it complements your lip color. Blush should help the entire makeup look come together, so choose your lipstick first and your blush second to keep your complexion aligned with the whole palette.

Surrealist Eyelashes

More and more red carpet looks are exploring experimental eyelashes. Try slightly more eye-catching lower lashes to give your looks some unexpected glam on an otherwise traditional look.
