The first bride went for classic natural makeup for her wedding, but in order to keep things more interesting, she added gold accents and made extra effort to make her skin look flawless.
The next Hausa bride decided to pick cool tones for her makeup to go with her royal blue dress, gele, and jewelry. The cool pink ombre lip is a perfect trendy touch!
Sea green is a very popular colour among Nigerian brides, and, as a bright and daring shade, it requires strong makeup. This bride put accents both on her eyes and lips with gorgeous eyeliner and matte lipstick.
Gold and blue are a classic pairing in women’s fashion, and picking blue eyeshadow to complement the gold gele is definitely a smart move, as is keeping of lip makeup fairly neutral not to overshadow the eyes.
Another example of cool-toned wedding makeup that looks perfectly with the complexion of Nigerian girls is the bridal look of the next Hausa beauty in a lovely delicate pink dress.
Hausa brides are no strangers to traditional white weddings, but even then they prefer to add some authentic touches to their wedding looks – for example, keeping the makeup understated and highlighting the beautiful henna.
The next Hausa bride went for a much more dramatic look, which ideally matches her dark chocolate gele. Every part of this makeup look works great on its own, and together it’s a truly magical combination.
Keeping the whole Hausa wedding look monochrome is undoubtedly a bold move, but in the case of this bride it definitely paid off. The cool pink tones of the look will inspire even more brides to try it.
