Setting the Base
After applying your base, set it with a lightweight setting powder to lock in your look and keep shine at bay. BareMinerals' setting powder is weightless & talc-free setting powder that sets & extends makeup wear.
Subtle Blush
We recommending selecting a subtle blush tone in light pink or nude shades from the GEN NUDE® Blush Collection. Any shade you select will add a natural flush to your cheeks without overpowering your soft glam look.
Neutral Eye
For your eyes, stick to the MINERALIST® Ultranatural Eyeshadow Palette. This palette consists of 6 richly-pigmented rosy, taupe and cool brown shades. Two looks you can try out are:
1. Apply Dawn all over the lid. Blend Taupe on the outer corner and diffuse with Shell.
2. Blend Sandstone all over the lid for a wash of color.
There are many combinations to play around with when it comes to this palette. For more colorful options, explore our other eyeshadow palettes. If you want to add a touch of sparkle, reach for Loose Mineral Eye Color in a shade that will enhance your eyes without being too bold.
Eyeliner and Mascara
Line your eyes with a brown eyeliner for a softer look that still defines your eyes. Finish off your eye makeup with a coat of mascara to make your lashes pop.
Natural Lip Liner and Lip Color
Choose a lip liner that matches your natural lip color to define your lips without overpowering your overall look. For the lips, opt for a lip gloss or lipstick in a shade that complements your lip liner, blush and eye makeup for a cohesive soft glam bridal look.
