The most tenderness: top 5 wedding makeup trends of 2021.

And while the pursuit of natural beauty is hardly a new phenomenon, the past two years have seen a particularly large shift towards subtle, subtle makeup, especially in the bridal space. The days of matte lips, defined brows and heavy contouring are long gone, as modern brides choose makeup that enhances rather than hides their natural beauty.

Nelya Fotul, a top makeup artist and member of the jury of our project Pro Beauty Battle: Makeup , which unites creative artists from different countries, tells us about the main trends in wedding makeup in 2021 and her own secrets!

Nelya Fotul , a top makeup artist in Ukraine with more than seven years of experience, works with “Kvartal 95”, “Women’s Quarter”, “League of Laughter” and such stars as Nadya Dorofeeva, Michelle Andrade, Katya Osadcha, Masha Efrosinina and many others, worked as a top makeup artist at G.bar

This year, the trends in wedding makeup will be comfort, naturalness and harmony.

Light contouring

The bride's makeup should be weightless. Choose foundations with a light texture that does not feel on your face and is comfortable.

My favorite foundations:

• Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk
• Lancôme Teint Miracle
• Estée Lauder Double Wear Nude

Contouring should be natural - in this case it allows you not to lose individuality. The shine should be subtle.

My top contouring products:

• Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow Contour Duo, Fair/Medium
• Dior Backstage Contour Palette

Favorite among highlighters:

• Dior Backstage, 001

Smokey in pastel colors

There are no restrictions in wedding eye makeup. If the bride wants to be bright and sexy, a smoka made in pastel colors is ideal for her. This makeup looks elegant in combination with a wedding dress and hairstyle.

My top wonderful palettes:

• Charlotte Darling Easy Eyeshadow Palette
• Tarte Tartelette Amazonian Clay Matte
• NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Shadow Palette

Graceful arrows

Arrows are always relevant. But don’t forget that in wedding makeup they should be very durable. Prefer long-lasting eyeliners and don't forget about waterproof mascara.

Blush

More lightness and freshness. Blush will do this task perfectly. They add playfulness to the look. If the bride has dry skin, then I prefer cream blush. If I have oily skin, I use dry textures.

My favorite blushes:

• Kiko Velvet Touch Creamy Stick Blush, 05
• BOBBI BROWN Pot Rouge
• NARS Blush, Orgasm
• Yves Saint Laurent Couture Brush, 6

Natural shades or gloss on lips

Bliss on the lips makes the look more delicate and lighter. The bride can drink, eat and not think about adjusting her lipstick. And what’s important is that shine doesn’t make you age! If the bride focuses on her eyes, then give preference to wonderful shades on her lips.
