Spring feels like a long way off, but now that we've reached December, I'm taking it upon myself to give 2023 brides some wedding makeup inspiration before the arrival of wedding season. I'm a strong believer in gathering all the makeup imagery and inspiration before major life events; giving you as much time as possible to put together your look for your special day.
Whether you're a bride partial to the ever-popular bridal no-makeup makeup looks that frequent Pinterest feeds to those who prefer to go the sultry and sensuous route, celebrity makeup looks can serve as a huge source of inspiration. Since most celeb makeup looks are created to look gorgeous on camera, when it comes to public appearances, the goal for the makeup artist is more commonly than not creating a look that lasts.
With that in mind, I gathered six of my favorite looks by celeb makeup artists Hung Vanngo, Tobi Henney, and Nikki Wolff, perfect for the bride looking for some star-powered inspiration. Read on to discover which ones caught my eye and captured my hopeless romantic heart.
Laura Harrier's Doe Eyes
Actress Laura Harrier stuns in this ethereal look created by celebrity makeup artist Hung Vanngo. Harrier's sweet, Bambi-like eyes are emphasized by flirty lashes, a shimmering purple-tinted eye shadow, and rose-hued cheeks and lips.
Shanina Shaik's No-Makeup Makeup
This one is for the bride who favors a barely there makeup look. Makeup artist Tobi Henney gave Australian model Shanina Shaik dewy skin, plump pink lips, and perfectly groomed brows for Shaik's red carpet appearance at the 75th annual Cannes Film Festival.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Rosey Hues
This sweet and rosy look on model, actress, and businesswoman Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is the epitome of romance. Makeup artist Nikki Wolff uses pretty pink hues and sparkling highlighter to bring out Huntington-Whiteley's natural glow.
Vanessa Hudgens' Chiseled Cheeks
Vanngo gave actress Vanessa Hudgens sharp, highlighted cheekbones and alluring eyes with perfectly winged liner, a chiseled contour, and enough shimmer and shine to light up a star-studded night. The look is finished with a perfectly matte mauve lip.
Blanca Padilla's Earth Tones
Looking for a bridal look with warm, earthy tones? Henney created a makeup look for Spanish model Blanca Padilla that boasts a groomed, fluffy brow, pouty pink lips, and bronze eye shadow to bring even more light to Padilla's eyes.
Jourdan Dunn's Smoky Neutrals
Try a wedding look inspired by this one created by Wolff for model Jourdan Dunn at the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premiere in London. The model's arched brows and highlighted cheekbones echo the soft neutral shades used for her eyes and lips.
