Find Beauty Inspiration For Your Big Day in These 33 Red Carpet Looks


Nowadays, with natural makeup being the more popular option for brides, most engaged ladies approach their wedding trial with a pretty good idea of what they want to look like on the Big Day (hint: like themselves, but with a little oomph).

That oomph can be a very subtle smokey eye, a playful rosy cheek, a set of thick lashes or a bold lip if that’s your signature—as long as once you’re finished, you look like yourself and not like a long-lost Kardashian sister. (Any makeup artist will tell you that the best makeup style for your walk down the aisle is one that’s similar to your everyday look; now’s not the time for experimentation).

You’ll see what we mean when you take a peek at these gorgeous red carpet looks. From Keira Knightley’s muted shadow (pictured here!) and Emma Stone’s famous bright lip to Jennifer Lopez’s gorgeous bronzed cheekbones, the makeup styles shown here highlight each woman’s natural beauty—without making her look like someone completely different.

We think you’ll find plenty of inspiration for your wedding-day beauty look—including tons of lovely hair styles—in these photos.
