Trending Bridal Eye Makeup Looks We Love
If you’re starting to plan your wedding look, you might be wondering, what are the top bridal makeup trends for 2025? And should my bridal makeup be bold or natural? This year, brides can choose eye makeup that is dramatic or classic. You can pick the style that fits your dress, venue, and mood.
Here are a few of our favorite natural to glam wedding makeup ideas right now:
1. Ethereal Shimmer and Metallic Eyeshadows
If you’re a fan of natural bridal makeup looks, this one’s for you. Soft, pearlescent shades of champagne, rose gold, and silver on the eyes are dominating the bridal scene.
Why It Works: Shimmery eye makeup gives a radiant glow that enhances photographs while keeping the look romantic.
Pro Tip: Use metallic or shimmery eye shadow with a darker shade in the crease of your eyelid. Sweep the darker shade along your upper lash line to define your eyes. Add a hint of soft glitter in the center of the eyelids to create depth.
2. Monochromatic Eyes
Wondering how to perfectly match your wedding makeup to your dress, flowers, and bridal party palette? Try a monochromatic look. More brides are matching their eyeshadow colors with the wedding palette, like blush pinks or soft mauves.
Why It Works: Using colors from the bouquets or bridal party outfits creates a smooth, polished look for the bride. A cohesive color palette looks beautiful in photos.
Pro Tip: Add a pop of highlighter in the inner corner to brighten the eyes.
3. Floating Eyeliner and Graphic Designs
Bold eye makeup for brides? Don’t be afraid to try it! In 2025, we’re loving minimalistic floating liner in white, gold, neutral, or pastel tones for a modern, avant-garde vibe.
Why It Works: This look is perfect for fashion-forward brides who want to make a statement. Graphic, floating eyeliner complements a unique, runway-ready dress or even a vintage-inspired look.
Pro Tip: Keep the rest of your makeup simple. This lets your eyes stand out. Try a dewy bridal look that highlights your beautiful skin. To create a crisp, graphic line, use an eyeliner with a precision tip, such as our Defining Liner.
4. Dramatic Lashes
Gorgeous lashes are essential to any bridal beauty routine. In 2025, brides are favoring natural-looking yet voluminous lashes with a wispy, fluttery effect. Lash extensions and lift treatments are in high demand. For an on-trend look, think about amplifying your natural lashes rather than donning overly fake-looking falsies.
Why It Works: Beautiful lashes enhance the eyes without overpowering the bridal look.
Pro Tip: If you’re planning to wear extensions, false lashes, or mascara on your wedding day, use a lash serum in your beauty routine in the weeks before. A lash serum will help condition and strengthen your lashes.
