The Bridal Makeup Tutorial

Hello Welcome on back to my channel. I hope y'all are doing well I am so excited for today's video because this is possibly One fact I know it is the most requested look I get of all time This is my bridal makeup look and this is quite possibly the longest tutorial I have on my channel thus far but only because I wanted to keep the information as thorough and As educational as possible for y'all so grab a notebook Grab a snack, and I hope you enjoy this this tutorial as much as I enjoyed creating it Also, I'm doing this in partnership with Foreo Sweden So a huge thank you to them for partnering up with me for this and without further ado If y'all want to learn how I created this look right here, then keep on watching So to begin I'm using the Charlotte Tilbury magic serum crystal elixir How I apply this on is I pour a good amount of this into the palm of my hands and then begin to really massage This into the skin You're gonna see a lot of skincare steps today because it really is such an important part of the makeup process If you want your makeup to turn out looking flawless and airbrushed It all starts at taking care of the skin beforehand and prepping it for the products that follow and this serum here is Water-infused so it's going to make for the perfect slippery like base for the device I use here afterwards That device I'm referring to is the bear by Foreo Sweden. This right here is like a workout for the facial muscles It's a microcurrent device. So it emits low voltage electrical currents that mimic your own body's Electrical currents to help refine and Contour the skin. That's why you see me here really focusing this near the cheekbones and the jawline. It's gonna tighten Lift and contour these areas of the face and those and those are results that you can really see immediately You can see the lift of the brow area the lift of the cheekbone and the jawline right after using it That's why I love using this even on myself. I mean In general, I love microcurrent treatments and facials I've gotten them for years and I Can't even begin to tell you how much money I've spent over the years getting this done at different spas So it's nice not only being able to perform this treatment on myself at home But also being able to provide it to clients now most of you know by now I'm really into skincare and stuff like this So I like to do my research before I just go out and invest in products like this So not only do I know how to use it properly and get the most out of it, but I also You know, I just like to know what in the world I'm talking about before I share it with you So anyways, I say all that to say That I'll tell you what I do know about this device I know the brand states that the bear is the world's safest microcurrent device and guarantees a shock free treatment Now that's major to me because I've experienced that that shock before in the past in different clinics and spas And it's not comfortable So I love that I have never experienced that while using the bear device nor have my clients Also, it's easy to travel with it lasts up to I think 90 uses per charge. It's comfortable to hold it's waterproof and More than anything. It's easy to use you just connect it with the foreo app on your phone And you can either follow along with the routine or you can customize the treatment by choosing the microcurrent Intensity that you want and then apply on a serum or something that has a little slip to it You know what? I mean and then start the treatment instantly. You're gonna feel those t-sonic pulsations. That's what Gabby is feeling right now It's super relaxing It's like a massage for the face and improves the blood flow and it reduces any puffiness that of course We don't want on our big day So now that I'm finishing up with this treatment here I'm gonna move on to using the UFO to also by foreo Sweden this one just like the prior device is the next best thing to a professional treatment at home It's a supercharged two-minute facial. That's it two minutes I'll tell you exactly how it works you connect the device to the foreo app on your phone Choose the routine to follow that's personalized for the mask You're using apply the mask onto the device and then start the treatment. It's really that easy Now when I talk about the mask what I'm referring to are the little sheet mask That the brand has you connect them right on top of the UFO to device They have different masks for different like skin concerns or goals. You may have I know they have a green tea mask for purifying the skin They have an acai berry mask for smoothing the skin and h2o mask for hydrating Which is the one I use on myself Anyways, they have a ton. I'll link their website down below so you can check it out for yourself But today on our model Gabby, I'm using the glow addict enhanced brightening mask Which is pearl infused and gonna give us that illuminated and healthy bridal glow today. Also, I Should probably tell you how it actually feels on the skin the device itself uses Thermotherapy, so basically what that means is that it gently heats up during the treatment which opens the pores and really infuses the mask Ingredients into the deepest layers of the skin so you completely take an advantage of all of the benefits these ingredients have to offer and I'll say this as an everyday consumer or Viewer watching this tutorial. I totally recommend checking this out If you're looking for an at-home do-it-yourself facial treatment that gives you those Professional spa like results and if you're watching as a makeup artist, I'll tell you that this this really is a Fantastic step to incorporate into your makeup routine. It's something that doesn't go unnoticed by your clients You know what? I mean, they really enjoy the experience and they appreciate that extra attention to detail you put in So anyways as I wrap up here on this two-minute facial You can see Gabby's skin is looking hydrated and plump and ready for the next steps for the next product I'm using the creme de la mer from La Mer and using this cream to seal in the serum and the ingredients from that foreo Mask, I'm not using a whole lot of this either I've taken a quarter size amount into the palms of my hands and Really warmed it up before lightly pressing it onto the face down the neck and across the chest For those of you who know about this cream, you know It's extremely hydrating and is really effective at calming the skin and any irritation it may have You also may know About the price tag that comes along with it. Is it cheap? Absolutely not, but I Have it so I you know I'm gonna use it and the truth is it is a really really nice luxury cream and I've noticed that those who love it are Extremely loyal to it. I think that says a lot about the product But regardless of a price tag, whether it be high or low if I like something I'm gonna use it and especially for bridal makeup. I go all out. I pull out all the tricks from my hat Today is one of the most important days of one's life. So we're not taking any shortcuts today After I have this applied to the face and body. I'm using this eye cream from Bior La Chic Recherche I don't know. I don't think I'm saying that quite right, but this eye cream is so good I don't even remember how I stumbled upon this I think I received it as a as a sample forever ago and I just fell in love with it I love everything from this brand I never see people talking about it much but all of their stuff is just divine as for how much I'm using of this It's literally just a pea-sized amount applied onto my ring fingers And I'm tapping it onto the skin around the lower eyes and upper brow bone Now that we have the skin just about fully prepped I'm gonna finish off by applying this kiss you lip mask from Tatcha and this is going to lock in moisture and keep the lips Moisturized so by the time we're applying the lip products later on in the tutorial everything just glides on Because the lips are plumped and hydrated Okay for makeup I'm starting out with the Armani luminous silk foundation in the shade seven and I'm applying this on with a makeup sponge Luminous silk is such a staple in my makeup kit. It has been for years You've seen me use it by now on my channel at least a dozen times because it always performs beautifully It's consistent. It looks incredible on the skin It's it's a versatile in terms of the coverage and the finish and it's lightweight In fact after I had applied this today Even Gabby said it felt like nothing was on her skin and that right there is music to my ears I don't want the skin to feel heavy and weighed down by makeup the skin the the complexion Is my favorite part of the makeup process and I spend most of my time on it. So I want to get it, right? I want everything to look really effortless and seamless So that means taking the time to blend this foundation into the skin Making sure everything is matching that means bringing it onto the ears behind the ears down the neck and chest even behind the neck It doesn't have to be full coverage But these are the areas that are most commonly missed and it's not Noticed until later on when you're looking at the photos and realizing that your ears are more red than the rest of your body and There's a harsh difference between the color of your chest and neck or if you have your hair up You see the areas of the skin that doesn't get much Sun like behind the ears. It's gonna be super fair in those areas. So Those little things make a difference once I have this foundation blended out I'm gonna use this Bobby Brown under eye corrector in the shade light to medium bisque and I'm brushing on a light amount of this Color-corrector around the eyes. I'm not sure if the camera is picking it up, but this has a light pinkish peachy tone to it So it's gonna cancel out the slightest amount of blue undertones around the eyes and brighten them up when I color correct Personally, I don't really go in too crazy with the bright reds and oranges like what we see on social media I keep it pretty simple a little of this product goes a long way I promise you less is is more sometimes when it when it comes to product around the eyes The more product to use the higher chance of it creasing throughout the day and we don't want that happening After this, I'm using the essential high coverage concealer from Jouer cosmetics in the shade creme cafe And I'm applying this to the under eye area starting from the inner corner Working my way out following the bottom lash line towards the hairline and then back down towards the bridge of the nose This is another product I've been loving so much lately I sound like I'm over hyping everything here. But but truly everything I'm using today I love if I didn't I wouldn't be using it in this tutorial Sometimes y'all see me use new products on camera and of course, it's either, you know a hit or a miss But today's not the day for that when it comes to bridal makeup. I'm using products that I feel 1,000% confident about and I know will look just as perfect 10 hours later as it did from the time I applied it so in saying that I think this concealer has has Taken the throne so to speak from my past favorites like the Too Faced Born This Way and the Tarte Shape Tape Even though I still like those this has has quite literally become my new favorite concealer of all time. It's just fantastic and once I finish using this to highlight the under eyes the center of the forehead down the bridge of the nose Cupid's bow and Chin, I'll come back to blend it out after I apply on the contour to contour I'm using the Makeup By Mario Soft Sculpt Shaping Stick in the shade medium and applying this on with a face brush If I'm not mistaken, this brush is from Hooded Beauty But I'll find out which one it is and I'll link it down below in the description box along with everything else I'm using today. In fact, I'm going to list out all of the brushes I used today down below I'm always getting questions with brushes I'm using so, you know I'll list them all out for today and if it's something y'all want me to continue doing in tutorials moving forward I can do that just let me know down in the comments and I can start doing that and of course if You know, if you don't want me to then you know, that's cool, too No feelings hurt but yeah I'm using this brush to apply on this product to sculpt the cheekbones the perimeter of the forehead the jawline and down the sides of The nose before I head back to the sponge to blend this out along with the concealer Something you may be able to notice here is that I haven't gone in real heavy-handed with this product I want everything to be super soft and subtle but yet defined and still glam That's my whole approach with this look and I and I know one's Interpretation of bridal makeup is going to differ from someone else's but the look I'm creating today is what I found to be the most Requested bridal look I've received over the years. And in fact, this is probably the most requested tutorial I get from y'all here on YouTube ever since I started my channel. I'm always reading in the comments Spence you can you do bridal makeup Spencer? you want to see wedding day makeup, but Really? What is bridal makeup? I think everyone has a different answer to that No one's you know, there is no one bridal look But if it was me if I was the bride, I I would want a no makeup makeup Look just some fresh skin a little blush a little mascara some lip gloss And my hair slicked back out of my face in a low bun. That would be my look There are some brides who would love that look too While there are others who would consider that boring those who would want that full glam the lashes the contour The blinding highlight the big Hollywood waves. I mean, I'm sure there's someone out there watching who would even want Blue glitter eyeshadow and a red glossy lip and that's fabulous too. It's your big day. You call the shots. It's your wedding We're just showing up to it. So go for it, baby. It just comes down to preference and personal style So for today's look we're meeting somewhere in the middle between glam and natural and something that suits Gabby in her personality She's naturally a beautiful girl. I don't want the makeup to wear her. You know what I mean by that I I don't want it to be so dramatic that she looks like a different person I want her to look like the absolute best version of herself fresh beautiful radiant skin But still glamorous and timeless and most importantly not only do I want her to look amazing of photos But I want her to look just as amazing up close and person which is why you're seeing So many steps today it's a lot of thin layers of products on top of each other that all work together to create a beautiful and Result and you're gonna see that at the end. You'll notice for the first time on my channel I'm stepping out of the studio for the outro shots It's important that you see how the makeup looks not just in this studio lighting but outdoors in Natural sunlight and the footage that's captured not just on a professional camera, but also on my iPhone So we're gonna see the best of both worlds And once everything comes together the makeup the effortless swept back hair the bouquet the wedding gown Oh my goodness gracious. Y'all are not prepared to see how stunning this wedding gown is I have to shout out the designers Ryan and Walter in the years I've done bridal makeup the most beautiful gowns have always always come from them. I'll link down below their information Ryan and Walter if you're engaged and looking for a wedding dress look no further They are the absolute best in the business check them out and thank me later. They're just Just incredible. Okay, I gotta move on and stop with my rambling. We see everything here is just about blended So now I'm gonna take this rare beauty liquid pinch blush in the shade happy put a small amount on the back of my hand Really work the bristles of this brush into it and then lightly buff onto her cheeks This color a blush is perfect for our bridal Look, it's it looks youthful But elegant and adds a beautiful pop of color to the cheeks and this brush is great, too I've used it for everything loose setting powder bronzer blush. It's really a one-man show. I've had it forever and And by the way, don't be afraid to use your fingers to diffuse out the products Sometimes they're your best tool to get a natural blend Speaking of natural look at how her skin is looking just so natural and radiant You can see even right there her little freckle on her cheek there. I I love that Yes, we've used a lot of different products so far But it's such a small amount of each one that creates this magic The complexion still looks soft and you can still see her skin shine through Alrighty next up. I'm taking the Laura Mercier translucent setting powder pouring a small amount into the palm of my hand Dipping my powder puff into it and then using it to set the makeup into place I always start with the under eye concealer because that's usually the first to crease and then I'll continue on with the rest of the Face, but it's a very very light amount of powder that I'm using That's one of my secrets to getting a truly airbrushed to finish result Start light-handed with the powder and then layer it up if you need to for example in a couple minutes You'll see me lightly bake areas of the face with this powder But not until the makeup has had time to set with a small amount of powder. I'm using here first I mean, it's such a small light amount that you can barely see any of it in the palm of my hand You can barely notice the powder. I'm putting on her now It's such a thin layer that it still looks like it had without it Just a tad bit more matte and don't forget about the eyelids You'll see me in a second take an eyeshadow brush and run some of that translucent powder right on top So now that we have the makeup set into place I'm using this Fenty sun stalker bronzer in the shade island ting and very lightly brushing this onto the areas of the face We had applied the cream bronzer earlier So the perimeter of the forehead the cheekbones down the sides of the nose and across the chest now I am being so light with this that you you can't really notice a difference right now on camera But for photos, it does make a huge difference because although I do love how the complexion looks as is in a flash photography Makeup can sometimes lose its dimension and become kind of flat So in order to counteract that I reinforce the creams with the powder such as bronzer and blush and I reinforce the highlights by baking With the Laura Mercier powder just as you can see me doing here with my powder puff I take a good amount of that powder along the jawline just underneath that Contour and then up underneath the eyes really bring that powder up near the lash line and then up near the bridge of the nose Not only will this catch any fallout from the eyeshadows you use But it'll also sharpen the contours add back in more Dimension and brighten up these areas of the face once I wipe it off a little bit later While I leave this powder to sit here for a bit I'm gonna begin on the brows today I'm using the one size brow Kiki pencil in the shade soft brown and start out by brushing the brow hairs downwards to fill in and shape the upper portion and then brush the hairs back up to Continue on with filling and lengthening the tail of the brow Gabby's brows are already pretty perfect So I'm being careful not to go overboard with this just a little here and a little there to accentuate the shape Once I have the brow filled in I'm using the one size clear brow gel and running this through the hair So they're locked into place all day After I complete the other brow off-camera, it's time to start on the eye makeup to do so I'm dipping into that Fenty bronzer We had used earlier and running this on the complete upper lid and really dragging this outwards Towards the temples to accentuate her eye shape. This is going to serve as a backdrop for the eyeshadow crayon. We use next It's the perfect color to use because it's cohesive with the rest of the face since we use the bronzer on her already and it's easy It's already there might as well use it In fact, I'm not even using powder eyeshadows for this look today just a little bronzer a crayon a gel eyeliner and That's it. So it's super simple The crayon I'm using today is this Bobby Brown long wear shadow stick in the shade golden bronze And I'm using this to apply right to the center of the lid before taking a blending brush to diffuse out The trick to this is to use a little at a time Remember, you can always add more but to take away is a it's a little tricky So build it up if you need to but you can see here the amount I applied was perfect Because once you start buffing it out with a blending brush the pigment glides around and really starts to diffuse out seamlessly I love the Bobby Brown cream shadow sticks. They're pigmented. They blend beautifully and They last forever and they make for a great base if you want to add shadow on top of it But honestly, I kind of love the simplicity of how it's looking now and mind you we're still adding liner and lashes And also we can always come back to add more if we need to for the lower lash line here I'm taking that same bronzer from earlier and smoking this out Nothing crazy or dramatic just a just a hint of color and just like what we had done for the upper lid after I smoke Out the bronzer. I'm adding the shadow stick right on top What I've done here to apply this is I've brushed the shadow stick on top of this detailed brush And I'm barely running it through the lash line just to give it some dimension and to unify it with the shade We have going on for the upper lid Afterwards I'm using this Inglot AMC gel liner and with an angled liner brush. I'm creating the winged liner now if you know You know that this is where I usually start having Hot flashes, but surprisingly the liner turned out really good today in my opinion and I did it pretty quickly I I didn't really want a bold dramatic wing In fact, I almost didn't do a liner at all because I liked how it was looking without it But Gabby has you know a little edge to her. So I said heck let's go for it And I'm glad I did it turned out really nice as you saw there I started with the inner corner and then I worked my way towards the outer corner of the eye I kept the liner itself pretty close to the lash line and when I was ready to wing it out I have Gabby look straight ahead. I place my brush where I think the liner would look best I have her close her eyes and then I place the gel liner right in that spot That's a good method. I use because it's nearly foolproof and it gets the job done every time and then for a little extra drama I'm winging in the inner corner just a smidge which will elongate the eye and give her a more foxy eye shape Next up. I'm using this cream colored pencil from benign and I'm placing this right in the inner two-thirds of the waterline now Every product I'm using in today's tutorial. I'd highly recommend This one though, it's Well, I'm not even gonna try sugarcoating that for you It's not the best you could probably go without this one. One of my favorite nude eye pencils is from Mac I think it's in the shade nw 15 or nw 20 it's something like that, but it's absolutely amazing Unfortunately, I couldn't find it today So I had to use this one and it does the job you'll see in the outro shots when she's in the sunlight the liner Catches the lighting and it does look really nice But the reason that I only apply this to the inner two-thirds of the waterline is because I use that ink lot black liner For the outer corner as you see here, it doesn't look great on everyone. I'll warn you but try it out See how you like it I like what it does for Gabby's eye shape and it really pulls everything together Once we add the mascara and lashes for mascara I'm using the Lancome hypnose mascara and running this through the upper lashes I'm sure to really get this in the root of the lash because I want the false lashes blend in perfectly tight lining with the gel liner will also help with this but I don't usually like tight lining when I have a Nude liner in the waterline because as you know, she blinks or the client blinks. It'll sometimes Transfer so I just try to avoid that at all cost Now with this one size point made liquid liner. I'm just gonna trace that gel liner. We applied earlier This is gonna get that winged liner super black. So that way it doesn't get lost in flash photography, by the way Can I just say my winged liner is so good today. I mean, I'm not even trying to make this about me it's about the bride, but Listen, my liner is never good ever. I'm the first to admit it, but it's quite decent today. Wow Okay, Spencer. All right. All right moving on for lashes I'm using these Ardell synthetic whispies. It doesn't get better than this I love these lashes because not only are they simple and timeless, but they're so comfortable It won't even feel like you're wearing lashes sometimes with the heavy mink lashes They irritate the eyes and keep in mind. Usually bridal makeup is getting done first thing in the morning sometimes 6 or 7 a.m So by the time photos are taken at the reception 12 hours later The eyes are tired from those heavy lashes they're irritated they're red or swollen which is just uncomfortable So that's something to keep in the back of your mind. Okay, as you see here I'm taking a fluffy face brush and dusting that loose face powder right off It leaves behind that subtle brightness to the skin I was referring to earlier and also to now that I think about it It's great for locking in the makeup around the jawline there because all day the bride is hugging people and all so the makeup Usually wears off right there against the jaw from that So this technique is actually pretty helpful for preventing that foundation from rubbing off Okay Now that I've head back to that mascara and I'm just running this through the lower lashes To get that doll like opened eye look nothing too major, but it definitely makes a difference Once I have this applied I'm using the blush from this Anastasia Beverly Hills face palette and the shade off to Costa Rica And dusting this onto the apples of the cheeks This kind of goes back to the same reasoning behind why I added the powder bronzer earlier Yeah, we we added, you know cream blush already But this just intensifies it and brings it to a whole other level so it doesn't get lost in that flash Photography again, and I'm not afraid to bring this up under the eyes as well I I kind of like that hint of color to the under eye area To add some glow back to the skin I'm using this makeup forever pro light fusion highlighter and placing this onto the areas of the face I want that radiance from such as the high points of her cheekbones Down the center of the nose the Cupid's bow and chin and I'll even bring this up to highlight her brow bone in the inner Corners of her eyes you can really build up this highlight to be blinding especially if you spritz the brush with a bit of setting spray beforehand, but I Like the subtle sheen it gives as is it doesn't look glittery on the skin by any means it looks like that authentic Radiant glow that looks beautiful in every bride and you can use this on your shoulders and on your collarbones But I'm gonna use a different product here today in just a minute that will give the body that a high intensity Glow that I love. I feel like this is this this may be the longest tutorial I've ever posted It's one step after another but after this we just have the lips the body glow and the setting spray we're almost done I promise I just I really want to show you Everything today. I'm literally leaving nothing out. And even though I Probably sound a little stir crazy right now because I'm recording these voiceovers at four o'clock in the morning I really hope you're finding this tutorial to be as Informative and educational as possible and if you are show some love down in the comments because I Love hearing from y'all and you guys always make my day. So Anyways, now that she's glowing I'm gonna use this Buxom power line plumping lip liner in the shade Hi, Def honey and use this to line her lips This is a gorgeous creamy matte nude shade to define her lips with it glides right on The tip of the liner is always sharp and the other end of it is a built-in blending brush Which you'll see me use here in just a second But I'm focusing this placement more so towards the borders of the lip and then slightly Shading in the outer corners as well Which will give us a little bit of an ombre effect when we apply the lipstick This shade liner is perfect because it's not too warm. It's not too cool It's not too orange and it's not too gray and what I love about it as well Is that it photographs the same color that we see here? Sometimes lip liners tend to shift its color when it's photographed But nope, what we see here is what we get once we have that lip liner diffused out I'm using this Buxom full force plumping lipstick in the shade goddess and I'm just tapping this onto the center of the lips and You can see that that soft ombre effect taking place This really is such a stunning lip combo The lipstick is a cream formula that has that healthy sheen to it and you could totally stop here if you you know Like this kind of finish, but I'm a gloss kind of guy. So we're definitely gonna use some today the gloss I'm using today is the one and only Buxom full-on plumping lip polish gloss in the shade of dolly If you've been with me here since day one, you know that my first ever YouTube video I told you this is my absolute favorite gloss It still is today and I think we can see here why the color looks Amazing on everyone and the high lacquer shine is unbeatable Now, of course, you may want to reconsider putting gloss on until after you've kissed your husband or wife up at the altar But you better believe I'll be right there waiting at the back of the church with my Buxom gloss Right in my hand because once that ceremony is over and the reception starts The gloss is coming out and the party is getting started I love gloss Okay next I'm using this huda beauty nymph body drip shimmering dry oil Spritzing this onto the chest and shoulders and then blending out with a large fluffy makeup brush This adds that intense body glow that I was talking about earlier, especially in the Sun. It's absolutely Unreal and I'll say that this is usually a step I take after the bride has her wedding gown on otherwise You risk this rubbing off on the gown as she puts it on and it can be a real disaster so it's better to be safe than sorry and wait till after she's dressed for this step and Finally for the last product in today's tutorial. I'm using the strongest setting spray The Krylon fixing spray and I'm using this to set and lock the makeup into place all day which makes this the final step and how I created this bridal glam on my naturally beautiful friend Gabby Oh And there we have it kids, I hope y'all enjoyed today's tutorial I want to give a huge shout out to Faro Sweden for partnering up with me for this another shout out to Ryan and Walter for supplying us with this incredible wedding gown and Of course to one of my best friends Gabby today's model for being the most Beautiful bride if you enjoyed this video be sure to give it a big old thumbs up and subscribe to the channel It means a lot to me And if you want to check out more of my work You can do so on my instagram at painted by Spencer and until next time.
