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.

Purple Peepers
Don't shy away from rich colors, go with what you love, especially if you're the bride. A purple eyeshadow applied from lids to brow bones will turn heads for the right reasons. Try Buxom Eyeshadow Bar Single Eyeshadow in Vip, $12, go easy on the mascara and choose a neutral pink lip shade to avoid a color overdose.

Bright Blush
This takes a more literal approach to blushing bride thanks to the heavy dose of red on the cheeks. Ensure there are no harsh lines for a modern finish. A red lip gloss with glass-like shine is the perfect complement to the cheek color.

Surprise Touch
Colored mascara is having a moment. Brights are brilliant for summer, but a softer, more unexpected shade can look beautiful for weddings. This understated makeup look actually has white mascara applied to the top and bottom lashes. Glossy lids round out the angelic effect.
