Wedding day make up

So I want people's opinions on wedding day makeup. Should you go neutral and basic or go all out? My theme is red and grey and I really wanted to have my makeup match my wedding colors. Would that be tacky though? Your thoughts please!

    I feel like natural mostly, but with red lipstick would look great!!

    Do a trial run with your makeup artist. I'm doing more natural makeup, because my colors are light purple and green. If you were to go all out, I think your color scheme would work.

    Great idea! I'm having it in vegas though so Idk if I'll have time to. We dont have many accessories other then red Rose's and tea lights so I think I might be able to go all out and not look over done. Thank you for your response!

    I think the red lip with a natural eye would be great!! But you could also do a silver eye liner to jazz it up!

    I was kinda thinking a gold eye liner might look good with the grey smoky eye. Yes I think I've definitely decided on the red matte lipstick 😁

    I think you could do a fairly natural look with a pretty red lipstick. It’s doesn’t have to be bright red.

    I think it’s a whole different ballgame when you clearly know makeup and wear makeup regularly. I’m going full glam, I feel prettiest all done up and I know I can rock it too. A lot of people aren’t into makeup so a basic look makes more sense for them. Your makeup should reflect your personality, I’d definitely try out what you’re thinking and if you love it, why not?
    A smokey grey eye with a red lip sounds gorgeous!

    I would definitely do a red lip and silvery/smokey eye if my colors were red and grey. Wedding day make up 1

    I think it depends on in what way you want the makeup to match? Do you want red and grey eyeshadow? Or do you want a smokey eye look and red lips? I think you could incorporate your colors without it being tacky. 😊

    I say go glam, I mean it is your wedding after all so what better time to look drop dead gorgeous? I think a red lip with a bold smokey eye and maybe you can incorporate the grey into the smokey eye.

    I think thoes colors allow you to maybe do a mix of both! Maybe a light greyish smokey eye for something more glam. Or a overall natural look with a red lip! Whatever you want it'll be beautiful! I suggest maybe doing some trials by yourself first or with your makeup artist. Maybe compare pics you like of makeup looks on people with similar features as you. And pick and choose what you like the best? Good luck!

    That sounds perfect! That's what I think I'm going to go for. Matte red lips with a grey smokey eye!

    Thank you for your input! I think the grey smoky eye w red matte lipstick is what I'll go for. I know I can rock that but I'll definitely have to do some trials before hand!

    This! Yes- agree 150%. I am going glam as well. I'm a woman who enjoys being done up and always have a full face of makeup. Think you're dead on with staying true to yourself.

    Yes for sure I can most definitely rock a full glam look I look like a famous person when I do full glam. I think the matte red lips and grey smokey eye will totally knock it out the park. I know my friends compliment me when I go full glam!

    I think you need to choose a grey smokey eye or red lips but not both.
