What makes bridal makeup different from the other styles?
I will be doing bridal makeup for one gIrl (she is my first bride) in a few days, and I want to know HOW should I do it?

I'm a Makeup Artist as well and I usually do makeup on their eyes darker, but not too smokey where it looks like two black holes in photographs. :) contour for sure to make their skin look chiseled and radiant, and highlighting is a must, not too much or they will look like a glow worm in photographs. Not too much lipstick, they kiss lots that day and it smudges and comes off! Hope that helps! Good luck.

What about blush? Fake eyelashes maybe?

I will pay attention for all that. I just didnt know How much is too much, and I don't want her to feel like she is wearing heavy makeup, it's not natural, I wouldnt like that too. I will do my best, and post pictures for you all to see it and give me your suggestions.

Also, I am beginner so feel free to criticize me if you think it's necessary.
Thank you all again :)

Thanks.
She has tattoed eyebrows, so it was a bit hard to cover it in way to look natural :-)

I do use Primer for face and other one for eye lids. She is wearing ardell demi lashes. But I have to buy better foundation and matte bronzer also..
