The year's most fashionable bridal makeup looks are all about the eyes. When it comes to makeup for 2017 weddings, we're love a look that's equal parts statement and high style.

Want to try out a fashion-forward bridal beauty look? During your makeup trial, have your makeup artist experiment with eye shadow intensity, dramatic liner and lashes. The results are gorgeous and definitely dramatic so don't be surprised if you see your friends attempting to emulate your statement-making look.

Smoke Show

The smoky eye goes bridal with a matte lilac hue. Shadow is applied from lash to brow and along the lower lash line to create a wash of watercolour beauty. Keep lips and cheeks soft and subtle in the same shade range for an ultra-romantic look.

Lash Love

Liquid liner and false eyelashes combine to create a fluttery, feminine look. Have your makeup artist amp up the classic cat's eye with a series of kitten flicks at the corner that blend seamlessly into lashes.

Drama Class

If you're a fashion-forward bride and want a bold look straight from the runway have your makeup artist play with the concept of graphic eyeshadow. The look we created here consists of layers of an iridescent grape colour to give this bridal style a serious cool-girl edge.
