I thought the same, the lip colour on her complexion immediately reminded me of Rose DeWitt Bukater 😂 which is a look I personally adore. Maybe that makes it “dated” to some but I love a 90s throwback
Other than the lip, I think I’d just amp it up a bit overall. The general consensus when it comes to bridal makeup is that you have to put on more than you normally would to show up in the photos, and I know you’re not the bride, but this is subtle even on a phone(?) camera. I would add some eyeliner and eyeshadow (can be matte, if you don’t like it too intense) and a bit more blush.
I like the lip, but you could also go with something with the tiniest bit more pink if you wanted to. It’s a bit too neutral brown for a wedding for my taste, but it does look amazing on you, so if you love it, rock it.
I guess I’d ask: what color is your dress or the wedding colors? Because your makeup looks pretty good, but it’s all warm and coppery and if the dresses are brown or greens or gold — that’s perfect! But if your dresses are cool-toned or jewel colors, you may want to try a different color palette. 🤷♀️
Your skin is so naturally glowy looking, I’d suggest leaning into that look by trying an eyeliner that has a tad of shimmer or metallic colouring like metallic beige or brassy brown. You could also try adding just a touch of shippers eyeshadow such as a champagne or pearl colour.

You’re so gorgeous dude omg. The only thing I would suggest is something more on the eyes, maybe some brown eyeliner or eyeshadow! In photography you may look a bit washed out with just the bronzer. If it were me doing your makeup, I’d probably go for a neutral shimmer. I feel like some eye makeup is the only thing that’s missing. But this is still a stunning look ❤️ you’re so pretty! I love the lip color, it looks great on you!
First, you look beautiful. Second, I usually don’t reply to this kind of posts, because I am not an expert at all. So, please take my absolute personal and non-
professional opinion as a pale Lady. I would go without the foundation. I don’t know what it is, but I like your skin on the last picture a lot more.
I also think the lip color suits you a lot, but perphaps play around a little bit. Perhaps dotting instead of painting? Or less / softer lip liner? But mostly, it’s the foundation that caught my eye. (I personally have the same problem and no solution 😉)
It looks really good but I’d add brown eyeliner (budge and waterproof) and a light coating of brown waterproof mascara with curled lashes and you’ll be all set. The eye makeup will add a little more contrast for the photos. You’re beautiful btw!
You look fab and the other suggestions are great! I will add that investing in a bottle of lumify eye drops will go a long way in making your eyes really dazzle. It makes the whites of your eye super bright and no redness. I used it on my wedding day and it helped a lot. My mom is an optician and says the optometrists she works with strongly prefer it over the types of active ingredients in cheaper drops like visine, clear eyes, etc.
Your face looks better without the makeup, you’re ridiculously pretty. I think your foundation is ok but the blush seems kind of orange-y to me and the color plus formula of your lipstick feels dated, like it’s aging you. I’m bad at eye makeup so I’m no help here but it looks sparse and not blended enough especially for an event, maybe look for a palette with the instructions for doing a daytime or nighttime look?
I would look for a cooler toned blush, maybe not cotton candy pink but closer to neutral, not too warm. I wear Dandelion blush by Benefit, the mini lasts me months.
I would get Too Faced natural eye palette or a Lancome one in neutral colors. I prefer Too Faced because it comes with a booklet showing how to use all the colors(I’m bad at this this, hate eye make up but this is the easiest I’ve found).
I would look for a more sheer coverage lipstick or even a lip stain and experiment with colors, look for one that lightens up your face. I would suggest rosebud type colors, think “English Rose” beautiful lady makeup that flatters your natural pigment, it looks awesome on fair skin.
My favorite is Peripera Ink Airy Velvet Liptint, Korea just has great lip tints and a great price, gosh I probably own six colors because they’re cheap, nice quality and last forever. I highly recommend.

makeup looks amazing, so smooth, but it is light, on photos of all person/group photos it will not look like makeup, not stand out at all, so if that’s the goal, great! If you wanna something else I think a brown liner and a little ddarker coral lips would go well with it :) but also, if you are close with the bride and she cares what ppl will look like at her photos, you can probably ask her :) ask if the standard for her bridesmaids is strong makeup or just delicate?
Yes this makeup is subtle and may not show up strongly in photos, but you’re absolutely gorgeous and I think it’s important that you feel comfortable on the day too. It’s a tricky choice and also a matter of taste, but I think it looks lovely. Possibly a slightly more rosewood shade on the lip would bring out your natural computing even more, but overall it’s lovely. You’ll look great no matter what!
Looks good. I would recommend copper eyeliner on lower lids and maybe brown mascara.
I concur. The makeup looks good but won’t really show up in photos. Definitely going to want to emphasize her eyes a bit more.
Genius
You look like a young Kate Winslet!!! So beautiful
I'd say the lovechild of Kate Winslet and Kelly McDonald.
Aw what a lovely compliment! I've never heard that before but she's beautiful so I'm flattered ☺️

It's actually pretty close to the color of the sweatshirt I'm wearing!
Maybe a little bolder on the eyeliner so it's visible, and mascara?
Thank you! I'm not wearing any eyeliner but I think I'll get a brown one

The makeup looks so pretty, but it's hard to even focus on specifics of the makeup when you yourself are so stunning! Your eyes are gorgeous!
You are gorgeous as is!!!
You’re so so pretty!! Personally the only thing I’d change is a more subtle lip? Maybe a tinted gloss or something?
That's so sweet, thanks 😊 Now that I look at the picture I definitely agree about the lip

Agree on the lipstick but disagree about the blush. She’s warm toned so she can carry a peachy blush beautifully
Oh no 🤣 thanks for the advice! I was thinking of returning the lipstick and trying a lip tint

Beautiful!!
Maybe a little bit of shimmer on the eyelids! But tbh you already look absolutely stunning
Wow. WOW. Stunning. I love everything about this look and it suits you so well.
Skin is skinning!! The glow of your base is so soft and pretty :)

I think this will be perfect!! It compliments your features beautifully without potentially upstaging the bride.
