Easy to achieve hair and make-up looks dominated the runway and complemented the season’s colourful gowns.

For your hair: A classic style that softly frames the face, a chignon is also the perfect base for a veil. Try a veil worn off the face as at Carolina Herrera or draped over the visage as at Oscar de la Renta. For brides who are going veil-free, a chignon is the perfect complement to a headband. Seen at Reem Acra, ask your hairstylist to create a loose bun at the nape of the neck for a less severe look.

For your Make-up: NEW TREND

The 2013 bridal make-up trend is all about focusing on only one feature (preferably your best) of the face. It is highlighting your best feature while keeping the rest of the face toned down. If you’re showcasing your eyes, color your lips nude and barely there blush on your cheeks.

The All New "No Makeup -Makeup Look"

The knack is to bring out your best facial features with light contouring. Colours are natural and warm with the entire face appearing to be wearing little or no makeup at all.

Focus on 1 Feature

This 2013 bridal makeup trend is all about concentrating on just 1 feature on the face. So, if you have beautiful eyes that you want to show off then show them off, or could be your lips.

The Unconventional Smoky Eye

smoky eye effec, but The new trend is all about colour!!!! Forget about the blacks and greys, try purples, greens or blues. You can create beautiful "appropriate" looking smoky eyes using colour rather than darker shades like black.
