13 Stunning beauty looks to rock as a bridesmaid

Need some bridesmaid makeup inspo? We’ve got your back with these thirteen gorgeous looks that you’ll surely love. 

It’s the season of love! The lovebug is going around, and many are taking their relationships to the next level, be it marriage, popping the big question, or even finally asking their long-time crush out for a date. In particular, weddings have been kicking off at full blast, and they’re only set to ramp up from here. You know what they say—summer is the season of beach weddings, fall is the time for a countryside affair, and winter is the time for a snowy European extravaganza. What we’re trying to say is that wedding season is alive and well and showing absolutely no signs of slowing down.

Chances are that, if you’ve found your way onto this article, you’ve been asked to be a bridesmaid. What an honour it is to be with your best friend on one of the most important days of her life, standing with her as she says “I do”. Even better, as part of the bridal party, you get to play an integral part in the planning process! Whether it’s helping the bride-to-be choose the colours for the day or sorting out invitations over wine and cheese, it’s such a special way to celebrate your friendship and the love she’s found. That said, we all know how hectic the wedding planning process can get.

From makeup to hair, gowns to shoes, being a bridesmaid comes with a lot of responsibilities and planning ahead of time. While your outfit is likely sorted by the bride, picking out the right makeup look can be quite a challenge—after all, no bridesmaid wants to show up at an intimate garden wedding with bold neon glam! If you’ve been given the privilege of being a bridesmaid with free rein over your look, we’ve rounded up some stunning beauty inspo that will complement any ensemble. Plus, it’ll do so without overshadowing the bride, so you can stay confident without ruining any friendships. And no, none of it is a snoozefest.

From luminous natural to soft retro glam, scroll down ahead to glean some foolproof inspo for your bridesmaid beat!
