Natural? Neutral? No Makeup?

Hello Gorgeous!
When it comes to your big day we understand you want to feel relaxed, pampered, and, most importantly, look your absolute best. So today, we want to address some common confusion when it comes to being clear and precise with your makeup artists about your vision and discuss the key differences between terms like Neutral / Natural / Naked Styles

Neutral Makeup
When we talk about neutral styles, we're mainly referring to an earthy-toned color palette like browns and nudes, which can be adapted for full glam, soft glam, or even a natural look.

Full Glam
If you're dreaming of a jaw-dropping, glamorous transformation, then full glam is what you're after. With full glam, we'll work our magic to give you a flawless complexion with a more intense contour, captivating winged eyeliner, and a luminous highlight. Lashes that add drama and a perfectly defined lip can help complete a fabulous full glam style.

Soft Glam
For an elegant look soft glam is the perfect choice. This style strikes a balance between full glam and natural makeup. Seamless, well-blended soft contouring, maybe some smudged liner for a gentle emphasis, and medium to full coverage foundation. Soft glam is particularly popular for bridal looks since you'll likely be capturing your special day with a professional photographer.

Natural Makeup
Our aim with natural makeup is to keeping it effortlessly fresh and radiant. Using a tinted moisturizer or a sheer to medium coverage foundation to help achieve a natural glow. Eyeshadow is typically toned down (maybe 1-2 colors), and a touch of bronzer and/or blush to provide a sweet flushed look. Natural makeup doesn't involve much contouring, so if you desire a slightly more defined look, we suggest opting for soft glam.

Naked/No Makeup/Nude Look
If you prefer a truly minimalistic approach, where it appears as though you're not wearing any makeup at all, the naked or no makeup look is likely best for you. Our focus here is on showcasing your natural beauty while providing only a touch of subtle enhancement. We'll use a light application of concealer to address any blemishes or under-eye circles, simple light highlighter to bring out a healthy radiance, and clear or brown mascara for a barely-there look. Gently groomed brows and a sheer lip tint or balm can also elevate this effortlessly fresh style.
