signature bryde bridal makeup look tutorial with claire andrea

the bryde signature bridal look

makeup breakdown

are you as obsessed with the makeup from my recent 'debut' collection photoshoot? are you wanting to recreate the bryde’s signature bridal look? let's dive into the products and steps that makeup artist claire andrea used to create that modern, luminous vibe that feels effortlessly chic. Here’s how you can bring that same glow and edge to your wedding day, with a breakdown that makes it easy to recreate!

Step 1

Glowing, Flawless Skin

First things first: let’s get that base right. Claire’s choice of products creates a fresh, natural glow that lasts all day (and all night) without ever feeling heavy.

  1. Prep with Hourglass Veil Primer
    Start by smoothing on Hourglass Veil Primer. This isn’t just any primer—it’s like the secret sauce for a flawless, long-lasting finish. Apply a thin layer, focusing on areas prone to shine, like your T-zone. It’ll keep your glow in check and give your foundation a dreamy, natural finish.
  2. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation for that ‘Lit-from-Within’ Look
    Next, go for NARS Sheer Glow Foundation. It’s just the right mix of coverage and glow—enough to even out your skin without hiding its natural beauty. Dot it on and blend with a damp sponge for a fresh, seamless look.
  3. Add Warmth with Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer
    Want to look sun-kissed and sculpted? A light sweep of Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Bronzer along your cheekbones, temples, and jawline adds subtle definition and warmth. This bronzer is all about giving you that effortless contour without looking “done.”
  4. Pop of Glow with Charlotte Tilbury’s Beauty Light Wand in Peachgasm
    Now, for that subtle pop of shimmer. Dab a little bit of Charlotte Tilbury’s Beauty Light Wand in Peachgasm onto your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, and cupid’s bow. It’s like capturing golden-hour light in a tube—yes, it’s that good!
  5. Set with Laura Mercier Candleglow Perfecting Powder in Shade #3
    Set everything in place with Laura Mercier’s Candleglow Perfecting Powder for a soft, candlelit finish that never looks matte or flat. Dust a light layer over your face to lock in your glow while keeping it natural.

Step 2

Soft, Alluring Eyes

Eyes are the show-stealer, right? Here’s how Claire kept the look fresh and slightly sultry:

  1. Build a Base with SMASHBOX Always On Cream Eyeshadow in Taupe
    Start with a wash of SMASHBOX’s Always On Cream Eyeshadow in Taupe. This cream shadow is super easy to blend and sets beautifully, giving your eyes a soft, smoky base that adds depth without overpowering.
  2. Define with Tom Ford Eye Colour Quad in Desert Fox
    Using Tom Ford’s Eye Colour Quad in Desert Fox, layer soft browns to define and add dimension. Start with the lighter shades on the lids and move to the darker shades at the outer corners and crease. This quad is perfect for building a sophisticated, multidimensional eye that’s still understated.
  3. YSL Lines Liberated Eye Pencil in Deconstructed Brown for Definition
    Add a touch of liner with Yves Saint Laurent’s eye pencil in Deconstructed Brown. This gives you definition without the harshness of black. Trace along your upper lash line and smudge slightly for that effortless, soft-focus effect.

step 3

Luscious Lips

Claire kept lips soft and romantic with shades that blend seamlessly together:

  1. Line with MAC Lip Liner in Oak
    Start by outlining your lips with MAC’s Oak lip liner. This shade enhances your natural lip shape while giving you that perfect, full-lip effect.
  2. MAC Matte Lipstick in Honeylove
    Fill in with MAC Matte Lipstick in Honeylove for a creamy, sophisticated nude that doesn’t wash you out. This shade is all about effortless chic and lasts all day.
  3. Finish with Dior Lip Oil in Universal Clear
    For a hint of shine and extra moisture, top it off with Dior Lip Oil in Universal Clear. It’s the final touch for lips that look soft, hydrated, and just a bit glossy.

And there you have it! A step-by-step guide to getting The Bryde’s signature bridal makeup look, modern and luminous just for you. Feel free to tweak and play—this look is all about enhancing your natural beauty while adding that edgy touch. Whether you’re walking down the aisle or hitting the dance floor, you’ll be glowing like a true Bryde.
