1. Natural Skin, Subtle Glam
The “your skin but better” trend is still reigning supreme, emphasizing radiant, natural skin. Opt for a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer to even out your complexion without heavy coverage. Finish with a touch of cream blush on the cheeks for a fresh, dewy glow. This approach not only looks stunning but also photographs beautifully against the backdrop of a modern wedding venue.

Tip: Prep your skin! Cleanse, moisturize, and apply a hydrating primer to ensure your makeup lasts all day, even in Florida’s humid climate.

2. Soft and Smokey Eyes
Soft, smokey eyes are ideal for brides who want definition without an overly dramatic effect. Earthy tones like taupe, bronze, and champagne flatter all skin tones and add depth. A light, smudged liner along the lash line with a few coats of mascara completes this look. This trend enhances your eyes without overpowering the overall bridal aesthetic.

Tip: Use an eyeshadow primer to keep shadows in place all day, especially in warm settings like those found at a Florida modern wedding venue.

 

3. Glossy Lips for a Fresh Finish
Matte lips have taken a backseat to glossy finishes, adding youthful freshness and comfort. Choose a long-wearing, hydrating lip gloss or a tinted balm in a soft pink or nude shade.

Tip: Line your lips with a neutral pencil to define your shape and keep the gloss from bleeding outside the lines.

4. Feathery, Natural Brows
Full, softly filled brows are the perfect way to frame your face. Use a fine brow pencil or powder to fill in sparse areas, then brush them up with a clear or tinted brow gel.

Tip: Lightly filling in your brows to look full but natural is ideal for a modern look, especially if your wedding venue emphasizes clean, contemporary aesthetics.

5. A Pop of Highlighter
A touch of highlighter on the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, brow bone, and nose, adds dimension and catches the light in photos. Be mindful of application to avoid a too-shiny look.

Tip: Stick with a subtle glow for a timeless and sophisticated finish, perfect for complementing the modern style of our Florida venue.

With these trends and tips, you’ll look flawless, timeless, and naturally radiant on your big day. And if you need more guidance, we’re here to help every step of the way at Haus 820, your Florida modern wedding venue.
