Glittery and pink, this would be the perfect eye makeup for your fairy tale wedding. Here’s how you can achieve the look:

Step 1: Work on your eyebrows first and then start with a warm shade of pink over the eyelids.

Step 2: On the inner and outer sides of the lids, apply a deep rosy-champagne eyeshadow shade.

Step 3: Next, apply a brighter pink in the middle to add some oomph and then top it off with some glitter.

Step 4: Put on eyeliner as thin or thick as you like, and finish off the look with mascara on your lashes.

Kohl eye

Used to emphasize the eyes, kohl is an essential part of every girl’s makeup. Dark, kohl-rimmed eyes for a bride with dewy makeup can accentuate the bride’s eyes and make them more prominent. The best part about this eye makeup is that it can go with dark and light-hued outfits both.

Step 1: Start by applying primer on the face and if required, used a colour corrector.

Step 2: Next, use concealer and blend it well. Set it with some powder.

Step 3: Fill in brows if needed. Next, tight line your eyes by applying kohl. You can also apply some kohl on lower lashes if you like. Use a flat brush to smudge it out.

Step 4: Use the black shade from your eyeshadow palette and dab it on your lower lash.

Step 5: Apply the eyeshadow of your choice of colour and smoke out the black eyeshadow that you have applied on your lower lash. Flick it out using an angular brush.

Step 7: Finish the look with mascara and blush. Also, dab some black eyeshadow on the upper lash line.

Step 8: Contour the face and use a highlighter, and complete the look with dark lipstick.

Brown smokey eye look

If you love the smokey eye but want to add a different shade to it, go for the brown smokey eye look. This will add a ton of drama to your overall look, and is best paired with light-hued wedding outfits.

Step 1: Create the base by applying primer.

Step 2: Next, create a flawless base with foundation and concealer.

Step 3: Since you’re going for a brown smokey eye look, your brows need to be on point. Perfect your brows and fill in if necessary.
