Smokey Eye

A smokey eye is the ultimate statement look, which is why we think it’s a beautiful choice for the bold soonlywed! If you’ve ever attempted the smokey eye and failed miserably (hand raise!), then you know how easy it is to wind up with makeup that looks more like you’ve recently taken a punch to the face than mastered this highly sought-after eye look. But not to fear! Anchal's Indian wedding makeup tutorial walks you through all the steps needed to achieve a wedding-worthy smokey eye!

No-Makeup Look

  

The no-makeup makeup look has become somewhat of a phenomenon, but it’s also the perfect go-to wedding look for many soonlyweds. If you don’t typically wear makeup but would like to smooth out your complexion for pictures or you want to wear makeup without looking too feminine, this natural makeup tutorial by  Robert Welsh's is filled with informative tips that are prefect for a beginner. 

Subtle Smokey

 
This list wouldn’t be complete without a Jaclyn Hill video! Nearly 5 million people subscribe to Jaclyn Hill’s YouTube channel and for good reason. Her informative videos, eye-catching makeup looks and her genuine and goofy personality have landed her a top spot among the most popular beauty YouTubers. This in-depth bridal tutorial that she created in honor of her fifth wedding anniversary features a timeless, toned-down smokey eye with warm colors that are meant to amplify natural features, so you will still look like yourself on your wedding day, just with a touch of glam!

Pop of Color

Neutral colors are lovely, but a colorful makeup look really makes our hearts sing! This insanely gorgeous tutorial by Dominique has the perfect pop of color that is sure to make your eyes stand out.
