So, whether you're a classic or modern bride, we've rounded up the top 10 wedding makeup trends to try on your big day. These swoon-worthy looks will make you the belle of the ball!

1. Shimmery Eyes

Eyeshadow with shimmer is a great way to add a bit of glitz without going overboard. It can be used as a base or as a highlighter.

Another wedding makeup trend is the use of neutrals with just a touch of dramatic detail. These look beautiful on the eyes and lips and can be achieved with a simple touch of liquid liner or false lashes.

A sultry but sophisticated smokey eye is another classic 2023 wedding makeup trend. Gray and silver tones are popular for this trend, which creates a sultry effect around the eyes.

Long and voluminous lashes add a touch of drama to this look, so it's a perfect choice for any bride who wants to make a statement on her wedding day. Team with a bold lip to finish the look.

2. Minimalistic

Minimal makeup has hit the runways, and it's the perfect style for a bride who wants to look her best on her wedding day. It combines a flawless foundation, light pink lips, a dab of blush on both cheeks for a flushed appearance, and shimmering eye makeup that's enhanced with mascara and eyeliner.

It's also a great option for to-be-weds who want a more natural makeup look that's easy to recreate. Skin-perfecting tinted moisturizers and foolproof brow gels create a lit-from-within glow without the heaviness of highlighter.

If you're trying to achieve a minimal look, it's important to have a trial before your big day so you can make sure your makeup looks just how you want it. This will help you avoid looking overly washed out in your wedding photos.

3. Bold Cat-Eye

One of the most popular eye makeup trends for weddings, bold cat-eye is a sultry, feline look that evokes a regal air. It's a classic look that's been worn by royalty and movie stars alike, and it's an easy way to make your bridal look stand out.

In the 1950s, it was a major fashion statement worn by screen legend Sophia Loren and other movie stars. Model Twiggy re-popularised it with her angular winged lines and feathered lower lashes, while Elizabeth Taylor's turn her as Cleopatra in the 1963 epic reinforced its popularity.

It took a major shift in the 1970s and 1980s, as youth culture boomed. Grunge, goths and metal fans embraced it as a way to express their individuality. Rockstars like Blondie's Debbie Harry also wore it, and a new version was adopted by the fashion crowd as well.

4. Berry Red Lips

One of the most coveted wedding makeup trends this year is a bold berry lip. In fact, according to Bazaar Brides' recent Wedding Report, interest in the color rose 71 per cent in the past year alone.

Adding depth to your berry lip is the key to creating an unforgettable look, so don't be afraid to go deep! Whether you choose a flattering wine shade or a rich oxblood hue, you'll be sure to turn heads at your wedding.

For a softer take on the trend, try a tinted lip balm. This will help the color stay in place all evening, and it also nourishes the lips while you're wearing it.

5. Winged Eyeliner

Winged eyeliner is one of the most iconic makeup looks. Audrey Hepburn, Ariana Grande and Adele have all made it their signature, and it’s a great way to define your eyes.

It’s a bold style that can look good on almost everyone. The trick is to get the right length and sharpness of your wings, which depend on how dramatic you want your look to be.

For a more subtle version, apply your liner from the inner corner to the outer corners of your eye, then extend it upwards and outward toward the crease. This works well on round and almond-shaped eyes.

6. Minimalistic Lipstick

Minimalist makeup is all the rage these days. It's the perfect way to accentuate your features and show off your natural beauty without covering up any flaws with pounds of blush, foundation, and bold brows.

It's also a great option if you're not comfortable wearing bright eyeshadow shades or want to keep your look neutral. To keep this trend soft and subtle, try using a neutral shade as the base for your makeup look, then blending a bolder color into the crease and upper lid to add a pop of color.

A pop of color can also be achieved with a single hue, such as a blue-based highlighter or bold lip color. These shades will look flattering on just about every skin tone and are sure to draw the attention of your guests.

7. Shimmery Eyelid

Shimmery eyeshadow can give your makeup a glamorous look when applied correctly. It can be worn as a wash of color over the entire lid or buffed into the crease for more depth.

If you're looking for a soft and subtle way to add a little glitz, consider incorporating shimmery eyeshadow into your wedding makeup. You can find shimmery shadows in a range of colors that will complement your skin tone, and they're usually easy to apply with a finger.

This look is a fun twist on the classic smokey eye, as it's subtle instead of over-the-top. Using a cool-toned matte shade over the entire lid and a warm-toned shimmer pressed into the crease gives the look an elegant, yet ethereal feel.

8. Cat-Eye with Slicked-Back Hair

If you’re a big fan of contrast, consider teaming up a bold cat-eye with a slicked-back hairdo. This hairstyle can be easily adapted to suit any length of hair and makeup is sure to turn heads.

If a cat-eye isn’t your thing, try for something more traditional with a winged liner. The best part is that this eye-catching makeup trick doesn’t take up much time or effort, but will leave you with one of the most impressive lashes we’ve ever seen.

To keep your look from becoming overly glam, make a point of keeping your skin tone flawless and stick with one shade of red lipstick to avoid a blotchy look. This hyper-natural glam will have you looking and feeling your best without any major fuss, so you can enjoy the rest of your special day. You can even wear this top-of-the-line makeup trick while you’re away from the ceremony, so you’ll be ready to go when you walk down the aisle.

9. Red Lips with Soft Eye Makeup

A beautiful red lip is one of the most classic makeup choices for a bride. It's easy to pair with soft eye makeup, and can be a great option for those who want to go with a natural look on their wedding day.

To make your lips pop, try a red lip primer that will create a smooth base for application and prevent feathering and bleeding. You can also add a little concealer to the outer edges of your lips for more of a vibrant look.

Using a pink blush is another stunning way to complement a bold red lip. This color will blend perfectly with your skin tone, allowing you to have a sexy siren look that won't wash you out in photos.

10. Shimmery Lips with Soft Eye Makeup

A touch of soft pink blush paired with barely-there eyeliner is the perfect combination for brides who are looking to go as minimal as possible on their wedding day. It's also a look that looks incredibly fresh and radiant in photos.

A smoky bronze eye with neutral lipstick is another great choice for brides looking to achieve a polished, classic look. It's also a look that works for any season, especially during those wintery months when it's cold and dry outside.

The berry red lip is a timeless option that's available in a variety of colors. It can be worn with almost any skin tone and face shape, making it a perfect makeup option for every bride.
