Cutting-edge styles
across the country
What's hot in beautyt? UWD went to the leading beauty experts
and got them to share the latest in all things bridal.
The hottest hairstyles
- Stiff updos are being replaced by loose pin-ups.
Here, texture and waves are key!
- Can’t decide which hairstyle is right for you?
Then join the modern brides who are opting for “dual ’dos.”
After the ceremony, they’re having a location stylist transform
their formal looks (updo) into something more relaxed, but equally
fabulous (loose, cascading curls) for the party afterward.
- Glossers (or shine treatments), cuticle sealants
that leave hair radiant and polished, are popular prewedding treatments.
- ’Do as the celebs do: Use clip-in extensions
and hidden hairpieces to add volume, length and holding power
for the big day.
- Drastic dye jobs are out: Instead, go for natural-looking,
painted-in color highlights that compliment your wedding-day hairstyle
(up or down), your skin tone and eyes.
Marvelous makeup
- Steal the spotlight with a subtle hint of shimmer
with light-reflecting, highlighting powder or lotion on brow bones,
cheeks and décolletage—very sexy, very now!
- Big brows are back! Think filled-in, defined
and well-groomed a la Brooke Shields.
- Vibrant matte lip color is being paired with
sheer glowing skin and bare eyes for a contrast in textures.
- Cheeks and lips are flushed with a soft, rosy glow
in a range of pinks, from petal to berry.
- Retro glam is in demand. Classic Hollywood-esque
eyes (arched brows and winged, false lashes on outer corners)
say va-va-voom.
- Color choices are endless. Cosmetics—from
foundation to nail polish to lip color—can be custom blended.
Knock-out nails
- Say au revoir to the traditional French manicure. Today,
the look for nails is very sheer at the tip—nudes, pinks,
even just a hint of pale blue.
- Steer clear of glitter and crystals on nails—
iridescence is an updated, chic way to shine.
- Think beyond a quick pre-wedding manicure and pedicure.
For wedding-worthy nails, indulging in regular cuticle
treatments (for several weeks leading up to the big event) are
definitely the way to go.
- The shape of things to come: Nails that are
natural and rounded.
