I frequently get Mother of the Bride makeup questions: Should mother of the bride have her makeup done? Will it be “too much”? Do you know how to do makeup on more mature skin? Will it look natural or does it have to be dark and dramatic if I have a makeup artist do my makeup?
The answer: OF COURSE the mother of the bride (or groom) should have her makeup done. Yes, the wedding day is all about the bride and her beauty- but it’s also about the honor of the parents of the bride and groom presenting their adult children to be married, being recognized for having raised them to this point of starting their lives together as a newlywed couple, and there is nothing wrong with showing how gracefully the mother of the bride (and mother of the groom) have aged…. I mean, the bride and all her beauty was inherited from someone right?!?
This mother of the bride makeup makeover features a natural look that softens the appearance of the fine lines and plays up her beautiful green eyes. Gentle violet shades were used to enhance her eye color, while nude and light bronze colors gave her lips and complexion a healthy glow. Airbrush makeup was used to soften the focus of fine lines and make her skin look flawless.
