Wedding guest makeup to match your dress
For wedding guests, communions and events. Choose the colour of your dress and I'll show you the palette I'd suggest for eyes, cheeks and lips.
See all colour combinations
- Red dress
- Eyes: Neutral, luminous eyes with a fine liner. Cheeks: Soft, barely-there blush. Lips: A red in the same shade as your dress, or a rosy nude. If you choose red lips, keep your eyes clean: only one star of the show.
- Burgundy dress
- Eyes: Blended earth and copper tones. Cheeks: Toasted peach. Lips: Burgundy or rosy nude. A dress this intense calls for well-cared-for, glowing skin.
- Dusty pink dress
- Eyes: Soft pinks and mauves, with a touch of shimmer in the centre of the lid. Cheeks: Pink, to match the dress. Lips: Pink or rosy nude. Play with shades from the same family: it's the sweetest look.
- Fuchsia dress
- Eyes: Neutrals and champagne; the dress already brings the colour. Cheeks: Cool pink, just a little. Lips: Matching fuchsia or a cool nude. Avoid orange tones near your face: they clash with fuchsia.
- Coral dress
- Eyes: Peach and gold. Cheeks: Peach or soft coral. Lips: Glossy coral or peach. A touch of bronzer adds warmth and pulls the whole look together.
- Yellow dress
- Eyes: Warm browns and golds. Cheeks: Peach. Lips: Coral, peach or warm pink. By day, avoid very dark lips: they dull the yellow.
- Emerald green dress
- Eyes: Copper, bronze or burgundy: the contrast makes your eyes shine. Cheeks: Toasted peach. Lips: Warm nude or raspberry. Copper tones on the eyes are the most flattering trick with green.
- Aqua or mint green dress
- Eyes: Champagne and soft pink. Cheeks: Fresh pink. Lips: Light pink or tinted balm. A fresh, light look, perfect for daytime weddings.
- Vivid blue dress
- Eyes: Bronze and gold: orange is its complementary colour and makes your eyes shine. Cheeks: Peach. Lips: Warm nude or soft coral. Don't repeat the blue on your eyes: it competes with the dress.
- Navy blue dress
- Eyes: Brown or plum smoky eye. Cheeks: Pale pink. Lips: Pale pink or classic red. It's almost a staple: it works with a bold eye or a red lip.
- Lilac dress
- Eyes: Mauves and pinks. Cheeks: Cool pink. Lips: Cool pink or mauve. Cool tones on your face soften your features and flatter lilac.
- Black dress
- Eyes: Classic smoky eye or graphic liner. Cheeks: Natural pink. Lips: Classic red or nude. Black goes with everything: choose whether your eyes or your lips take centre stage.
- Silver or grey dress
- Eyes: Grey or silver smoky eye with a cool finish. Cheeks: Cool pink. Lips: Cool pink or mauve. Steer clear of golds: with silver they look muddy.
- Gold or champagne dress
- Eyes: Golds and bronzes. Cheeks: Golden peach. Lips: Warm nude. A gold highlighter on the cheekbones echoes the shimmer of the dress.
- Patterned dress
- Eyes: Neutrals, so they don't compete with the pattern. Cheeks: The softest shade in the pattern. Lips: Pick a secondary colour from the pattern for your lips. Choose one colour from the pattern and wear it in one place only: lips or cheeks.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the makeup last?
I work with long-lasting products and set the makeup in layers so it lasts from the ceremony to the last song.
Can I come with my own idea?
Of course. Bring photos of what you like and of your dress, and we'll adapt it to your skin and the event.
Do you do makeup for communions and other events?
Yes: communions, christenings, dinners, graduations, photo shoots or any ordinary day when you fancy feeling different.
