Ideas for engagement and ring ceremony makeup, from soft glam to bold glam, and how to plan your look.
Your engagement is one of the most photographed days before the wedding. The right look should feel like you, only a little more polished.
Popular engagement looks
- Soft glam: Glowing skin, softly defined eyes and a rose or nude lip.
- Bold glam: Defined eyes or a statement lip with a sleeker finish.
- Fresh and glowing: A light, radiant base for daytime ceremonies.
Plan around your outfit
A pastel gown, a lehenga or a saree each suit different colours and finishes. Share your outfit with your artist.
Hair completes the look
Open curls, a sleek ponytail or a bun each frame the face differently, so plan your hairstyle with your makeup.
Do you need a trial?
If you want a particular look or have never tried that style, a quick trial gives you confidence before the day.
