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!

    So I do wedding makeup quite often, and I think if you want to go natural it’s gorgeous but please remember photos do not show makeup well so you will need to apply more blush/bronzer then you think you will need. It really depends on the bride and how she wants to look on her big day. I think both are beautiful, but you will need more makeup on then you think because flash will really wash you out!

    Awesome thanks for that info! How do you feel about airbrush makeup? Does it still wash you out? Does full glam look ok in wedding pictures I know it looks alright when I take selfies but I have no clue how wedding pictures will look

    I love full glam for wedding pictures! It can look gorgeous especially depending on the dress, but I would make sure you are comfortable in whatever you decide! Airbrush can be beautiful! There is a girl that I used to watch on YouTube a ton, I don’t really anymore, but her bridal makeup video is super old and the most beautiful makeup for a bride ever, she gives a ton of tips too about how wedding makeup should be timeless, I love that. So I never put any huge wings or anything on my brides and try to just bring out their natural features. I will send you the video so you can watch it, I just love the entire look and think it’s so beautiful on everyone. I am going to end up doing my own wedding makeup because of that reason haha. 😂

    I wonder how they feel! I hate the weight of eyelashes so idk how I could do extensions, we are doing a destination wedding though and it would so come in handy. I ordered a heated eyelash curler on amazon this week so I’m hoping to play with that 😂

    Not tacky at all and at the end of the day it's all about what's going to make you feel the most beautiful. 🥰

    Just ask yourself, if in 10 years you look back at your photos or your kids do, do you want to see red eyes? If so, then go for it. If you want something to stand the test of time, then I'd scale back to lipstick and make your features look elegant. Make the wow factor be the venue, flowers, and your dress. If you are all around stunning, the wow factor will be there. It doesn't have to be "oh wow she has red eyes". That will be what everyone remembers. They won't remember the rest.

    Maybe play with the pallet and see what's best?
    Or go with what brings out your eyes and pulls it all together.

    I would go natural. My fiancé at least told me that we wants me too look like the girl he fell in love with. I’m still going to get my hair and makeup done but I still wanna look like myself

    I went full glam. I never wear makeup (maybe once a month - sometimes less) so I wanted to look super fancy with full extensions, huge lashes, red lips, everything.
