Two Faces Are Better Than One
The first thing you’ll want to consider when altering your makeup for your second look is the setting and timing of your reception. Many brides get married during the day and have their reception in the evening. If this is the case for you, make subtle changes to your makeup that will make it beautiful and appropriate for the lower lighting levels and more relaxed atmosphere of your party!

Summer makeup trends have taken their cue from the catwalks and those heavy 80s and 90s inspired faces of fall/winter made way for soft, fantastical looks.
Try a look that focuses on flawless, natural looking skin and highlight your features with a pop of fresh color.

I stress to brides that their look is individual and should be tailored to bring out their special beauty. Brides can incorporate trends to keep their wedding makeup looking contemporary.
