2022 Spring Bridal Makeup

From dewy skin to rosy colour palettes, 2022 spring bridal makeup trends are undeniably fresh and pretty. Inspired by florals, spring bridal makeup is about playing up natural beauty. At Beauty En Route, our goal is always to elevate a bride’s makeup on her day, creating harmony between personal style and a beautiful bridal look. Take a peek at our curated moodboard for inspiration! Just in time for a brand-new wedding season, we are looking at how to embrace some ultra-flattering spring makeup trends. 

Dewy complexion

Think breathable makeup that still offers coverage without looking too heavy. Of course, a ‘your skin, but better’ finish still requires thoughtful skin prep. An appropriate primer will address the needs of different skin types and textures. Building the right coverage for a glowy look will still need staying power for a wedding event. A bride should have a conversation with her makeup artist about desired makeup look and venue, so the perfect products can be selected.

Pinky nude lips

As sultry as a red lip is, a lip colour in the softest shade of nude pink can completely update a spring bridal makeup look. Not all nude lipsticks are the same, however. Brides will want to consider undertones and the overarching colour palette of the wedding. Once the perfect shade has been found, lip products can be customized to create a uniquely flattering look. Add dimension to a beautiful pinky nude lipstick with gloss or add fullness with a lip pencil.

Full lashes

From dramatic to clean and defined, lashes play a major part in your bridal beauty plan. Depending on your desired look, adding length or volume to your natural lashes can open up eyes and photograph beautifully in wedding photos. To decide on a lash look, consult with your makeup artist to see if false eyelashes are ideal for you. Whether it’s adding a few lashes to increase volume or curling natural lashes and applying a good mascara, thick lashes will define your eyes and make them a beautiful focal point.

Rosy color palettes

From flushed cheeks to sumptuous eyeshadows, pink palettes are giving new meaning to the idea of a ‘blushing bride.’ The 2022 spring bridal beauty moment is about building subtle colour with products that contain great pigment. Fortunately, we’ve waved goodbye to some of the flat, one-dimensional products of the last few decades. To create a pretty pop of colour, coordinate pink shades used on the eyes and cheeks. Aim for complementary and not competing rosy palettes.
