Foundation: Heavy pancake or "stage" makeup is out, but you can still use foundation, just with a lighter touch. Consult with your makeup person, but one way to get a flawless look of no makeup is by applying a gel-based primer to your face first; this will fill in an small lines, creases and pores. Then, try an airbrush foundation. This will take away from the matte and flat look of a regular foundation. Instead, you will look dewy, moist and fresh faced. All aglow and luminous is the look you want.
Blush: Say no to the striped look that comes from too much blusher applied badly! Try blending a cream or gel blush onto to cheeks to create a more natural flush. Now, that is fresh!
Eyes: Getting the eyes right can be tricky, and even more so if you are trying to keep it natural. The look of one shadow in a natural shade without any liner would achieve this look for sure, but most brides will want to amp up their eyes a bit more. You will want a little more definition for the eyes. Use a liner, but make sure it is blended well, not just a harsh line. Instead of the full set of fake lashes that many brides use, a current trend is to use mascara and attach only a few fake lashes to the outer corners of the eyes. This accentuates the eyes in a subtle and more natural way.
Lip color: Some natural sounding lip shades by just about every company are out there. Berry, Flush, Coral and Blush are just a few that you will see out there, all indicating a natural hue. Again, while subtle lip color may be the trend, you can still use a red. Keep it natural by softening the color and not making the lip line outline so precise and sharp.
Your makeup person will be aware of these trends, and let them know you want to look modern and fresh on your big day!
