Adding just a hint of baby blue eyeshadow is a clever way for brides to incorporate their "something blue" into their makeup. Bridesmaids and wedding guests can take inspiration from the idea, too. Ensure the trendy color is concentrated on the eyelid and complete the look with black mascara and a soft pink lip color. It's modern but not avant-garde.

Pretty in Pink
Take advantage of some of the new non-sticky, high-shine lip glosses on the market and try a cotton candy pink gloss with just a touch of warm muted pink eyeshadow. Use a very light hand to apply mascara — too many coats will overpower the rest of the face.

Softest Touch
Wedding makeup should be all about showcasing your natural beauty. In minimal looks, most gravitate towards slightly darker colors but lighter ones can be just as effective. Stick with colors only a few shades lighter than skin that have sheer finishes for the most flattering, ethereal look.

Lived-in Lipstick
A vibrant lip stain can be a better option than a lipstick thanks to its longer wear. The key to pulling off a just-bitten effect is creating a soft focus look rather than a blurred one. No one wants to look like they have lipstick all over their face in wedding photos. Try coordinating (not matching) shadow with the lip color.

Bat Those Lashes
Those with oily eyelids know it's a challenge for eyeshadow to stay on during the best of days, never mind a long, tear-filled wedding. One option is to only use shadow to highlight the inner corners and to enhance the lash line with flirty lashes. Multiple coats of mascara will work, but those wanting more drama can try falsies. A neutral lip color won't distract from the flirty eyes.
