Add these to your beauty shelf for the perfect soft glam look.

If there is one consistent trend we’ve seen this wedding season, it’s how soft, pastel hues have dominated our social media feeds. With more and more brides opting for blush-hued, pastel and ivory lehengas, it’s only fitting that the makeup be minimal and natural. Take for instance, Bollywood actor Kiara Advani’s barely-there look with just a swipe of dusty rose on the lids and cheeks. Or, model and digital creator, Alanna Panday’s nuptials where her look comprised frosty eyeshadow and nude lips. 

From light jewel-toned colours to pinks and nudes, we love how these pastel palettes add a touch of glam without making one’s makeup look overdone. Here are five palettes that will do the job to make you look like an ethereal bride—be it that sun-kissed glow or a peachy flush. 

Charlotte Tilbury Easy Eye Palette, Charlotte Darling

Featuring six shades that range from pinks and peaches to terracotta and bronze hues, this palette offers a versatile mix of colours whether you’re looking at a day time wedding or a slightly more elegant evening soiree. The colours are highly pigmented and offer a jewel-like finish for that perfect, sun-kissed bridal glow. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette

 

With 14 shades that will take you seamlessly from day-to-night, this palette is not just functional but offers a whole range of colours to complement your bridal ensemble. Choose from the 9 matte shades for a simple, neutral look for a day event, including ones like lilac and rose. And if you’re looking to up the glam quotient, you have 5 gorgeous metallic shades, from molten browns to an iridescent rose gold. 

Too Faced Born This Way The Natural Nudes Eyeshadow Palette

 

This one is a winner in our books. The shade range is versatile, moving from light pinks and peachy creams to molten copper and chestnut browns. You have a great mix of matte and shimmer eyeshadows that pair beautifully with any outfit. The shades are also cleverly arranged where you can use them as a quad, for the perfect matte and shimmer combinations. These are also formulated with coconut water and hyaluronic acid so they won’t crease and dry out easily on the lids.

This budget-friendly palette is great for those looking to achieve that flawless nude makeup look. The 10 shades are both warm and cool toned, blend easily and offer good colour payoff. We love the shimmery browns, rose gold and lilac-hued pigments that are perfect for the classic pastel bride. 

Natasha Denona Pastel Eyeshadow Palette

 

If you’re looking to go beyond the traditional pastels, how about trying out this bright-hued palette which features playful pinks, yellows, delicate purples and sorbet-hued shades? It’s perfect for the spring/summer bride who doesn’t mind being a bit adventurous with her makeup and opting for something a little offbeat with a bright pop of colour. The shimmery shades are quote iridescent, offering high colour payoff as well.
