How to Create a Bridal Look Inspired by Taylor Swift's Song "Love Story"
Taylor Swift's song "Love Story" can bring out the romantic mood in many women on their wedding day. The romantic colors in the makeup Taylor wears in the video inspires a soft look that can be accomplished by using neutral champagne gold eyeshadow and pink blush for bridal makeup. A soft golden eyelid, fully lined lash lines, and petal pink lips and cheeks complete the "Love Story" look. A person with any skin tone or eye color can take on this look, but those with darker skin tones may notice that the golden pigment shows up more vibrantly on their skin. The makeup works well for weddings but can work for school dances and dates as well. Wearing the hair in an updo, or down in soft curls or waves will complement this look nicely. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1
Pat concealer under the eyes and on any skin imperfections with a concealer brush. Concealer comes in a thicker consistency than regular foundation and must be applied with firm strokes.
-
2
Use your hands to apply a foundation to the face. Start buffing the foundation with a kabuki buffer brush in circles at your chin and work your way up toward the temples and forehead.

-
3
Pat eye primer onto the eyelid with your fingers. Eye primer comes in a cream or gel form that prevents the fading of eye makeup.
-
4
Apply a shimmering champagne gold eyeshadow onto the entire eyelid with a shadow brush. The shimmer reflects light and makes the skin more luminous.
-
5
Apply black-brown eyeliner to the top and bottom lash lines. Make sure the lines stay neat and do not smudge.
-
6
Comb a black mascara thorough the eyelashes. Wiggle the wand as you comb to prevent clumping the eyelashes.
-
7
Apply a warm pink blush to the apples of the cheeks with a blush brush. In the "Love Story" video, Taylor has a faint blush of pink that warms her skin. By applying the blush with gentle strokes you can mimic that effect.
-
8
Top off this look with a coral pink lip gloss on the lips. To prevent the lips from getting sticky, just apply one coat of gloss for a subtle shine that won't appear too wet.
