However, having a general theme can help guide everyone towards a stunning result.
Makeup artistLucas Bowmanadvises that while bridesmaid makeup can go glam, it should shy away from outdoing the bride.
It could come off attention seeking as well as just imbalance taste levels, he says.

Soft Glam
One of the most requested looks for bridesmaids is what makeup artists call soft glam.
Bronze Glow
Give your bridesmaids the illusion of a sun-kissed complexion with a bronze glow.
Often neutral tones are used on the eyes to compliment the skin.

Both Gilleo and Bowman recommend bridesmaids consider a minimal cat-eye look for a wedding.
To balance the statement liner, pair it with a classic base and soft pink cheeks.

Color Pop
Dont be afraid to stray from neutrals for eyes or lips.
Gilleo loves using pops of color in makeup looks for outdoor weddings.
Think of a blush or lilac tone which is so ethereal, fresh, and modern, she says.
