Sofia Richie’s Clean and Timeless Bridal Makeup
How Clean Bridal Makeup Became Popular
Sofia Richie is the hottest 2023 Bride to hit the bridal scene. She has taken the “Meghan Markle natural bridal makeup trend” the horns and has become the trendiest bride. Clean bridal makeup is one of the most popular makeup looks in the last two years. Ever since Meghan Markle sashayed down the royal carpet with a fresh, glowing face, the clean bridal look has taken the bridal industry by storm.
Think about the 80’s and 90’s. The bright colors, the sharp lines, the shimmers. It was a whole era. And those brides definitely slay in their time. However, looking back on those photos, modern brides want a more timeless look. A look that can’t be attributed to a specific year. They want to look back on their wedding makeup and think “That is me.” This is why the clean bridal makeup look has become so popular.
Sofia Riche’s Makeup Breakdown
Her makeup artist called it a “natural with a little something” makeup look. Her makeup artist used a discontinued Chanel eye palette for sheer, glossy gold lids, them smudged NudeStix creamy blush sticks in Sunkissed Pink and Picante into her cheeks for a “a surprising bright orange that gives a touch of kissed-by-the-sun.” He used a coat of Maybelline Waterproof Lash Sensational Mascara. And for her lips, he used Chanel Rouge Coco Baumé in 928 Pink Delight and Dibs Beauty No Pressure Lip Definer pencil in Medium, which gave her lips subtle definition.
Is a Clean Bridal Look the Look for Me?
What do we mean when we say a clean, timeless Look? The look can be characterized by soft lines, neutral colors, and gentle, muted tones. Products we might avoid for this look: red lipstick, big false lashes, heavy contour. While using all those products can make for a very beautiful, glamourous look, we would avoid these to leave the face looking natural. The natural bridal look is good for almost every face, because it uses makeup for its true purpose: to enhance natural beauty. Sofia Riche said herself that “I don’t want to look back in like 20 years and be like, ‘She’s a glamazon.’” A simple, natural bridal look is always timeless. You can look back on your photos 5, 10, 20, 30 years from now and it can look like it was taken in present day.
What if I want a Glam Look?
That is perfectly fine! The natural makeup look isn’t for everyone and does not fit every bride. Some brides prefer a glamourous look, and that is perfectly okay. It is up to the bride and the artist to determine the look that makes YOU, the bride, feel the most beautiful on your big day.
Does a Simple Bridal Look use Less Makeup than a Glamorous Look?
One big misconception that a lot of new brides make is that they want to wear “less” product, so they must go for a “simple” look. Natural Makeup does NOT equal less product. When we refer to natural makeup, we are referring to the contrast in colors, not the amount of product applied to the face. For example, dark red lipstick will look much harsher than nude pink lipstick. But they both require the same amount of product. One just has a greater contrast. Same as using brown eyeliner versus using black.
