On the other hand, there is nothing stopping you from putting the accent on just one part of your beautiful face and keeping the rest neutral. In this case, the red matte lip is the centre of the whole look while the eye makeup is mainly done with the help of the fabulous false lashes.

No matter what kind of eye or lip makeup you go for in the end, the number one aspect of a great bridal look is flawless skin.
