Tips to Achieve Dewy Makeup:
Hydrate: Start your skincare routine at least three months before your wedding. A well-moisturized face is essential for that dewy look!
Choose the Right Foundation: Look for foundations with hydrating properties. Mixing in a liquid highlighter, like the Fenty Glow Enhancer, can boost radiance significantly—one drop can elevate your entire look.
Blend, Baby, Blend: A damp beauty sponge helps in achieving a flawless finish. Applying makeup with a sponge can improve coverage while keeping the look lightweight.
Gorgeous Hairstyles: From Elegant Updos to Soft Waves
TREND 1: Timeless Buns and Chignons
Updos remain a beloved choice for timeless elegance. This season, opt for chic buns or chignons, often enhanced with delicate accessories. For instance, a low bun embellished with a crystal clip or a floral crown can evoke a royal vibe. Research shows that about 60% of brides choose updos to ensure their looks remain intact throughout the day. Updo’s keep hair out of your face, they’re elegant and timeless while staying secure throughout your festivities.
We’re seeing a lot of sleek, polished buns and updos. Again, Sofia Richie’s hairstyle was spot on - clean and out of her face. Some brides opt to have pieces on each side of their face to add framing. It softens the look of a sleek updo.
TREND 2: Old Money Hairstyles
What’s an old money hairstyle you ask?
Think clean lines and a refined well-groomed look. Soft hairstyles that evoke a romantic atmosphere. To achieve this, regular hair trims and hair masks keep your hair looking healthy and polished.

Tips for Choosing the Right Hairstyle:
Consider Your Dress: Match your hairstyle to your dress. For a sleek and sophisticated gown, pair it with a smooth updo. For bohemian-style dresses, soft waves are a better fit.
Test Different Styles: Schedule a trial with your hairstylist to explore options. Trying styles ahead of time prevents last-minute surprises.
Consider the weather and if your having an indoor or outdoor wedding: If it’s hot and humid, your better off with a sleek, polished updo. If it’s cooler and no humidity, the below hairstyle works great.
