The old Hollywood look is a great option for bridal beauty. You can adjust this look easily to suit your comfort level. Since this look is neutral, you can change it up from ceremony to reception, i.e. start with a nude lip, and go for a bolder red lip for the reception.
Key Ingredients:
- False lashes: Lashes should be longest at the outer corners, to lengthen the eyes
- A Full Red Lip: Lips were often over-drawn, especially in the forties, and were quintessential to the makeup of that era
- Thick Liner: Black liquid liner extended just beyond the natural lash line, creating the “bedroom eyes” look made famous by Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe
Here are some modern examples of the look. Always try out your
makeup in pictures before you commit entirely to it. If you already have
a longer eye-shape, you may not want to look “sleepy” in your wedding
pictures. If you have rounder, more bulbous eyes, this look might be a
great option for you.
Get inspired by Old Hollywood Glamour, it is a great bridal beauty look for any bride.
