Our Favourite Bridal Make-Up Tutorials On TikTok

Professional MUA Danielle does god’s work on TikTok, sharing the exact products worth snapping up if you’re on a budget but want results. She starts with e.l.f.’s viral foundation for some lightweight but hardworking coverage that won’t budge, and suggests adding the L’Oréal True Match tinted serum for a flawlessly radiant finish. For contour and blush, she reaches for e.l.f. again, then opts for a Physicians Formula liquid bronzer. If you can’t get your hands on this US drugstore favourite, try L'Oréal’s Glotion in its place. Watch her full tutorial for the best way to set it all in place but keep things glowy. 

If the last thing you want on your wedding day is a heavy base, this tutorial is for you. Alessandra is loved on TikTok for her flawless-looking natural looks – omitting foundation completely, she pops gentle skincare and concealer in all the right areas. She shares her top hacks for getting the perfect shade by mixing and matching concealers, and shows how your contour can be used on your lids for a soft shadow look. She uses a lipstick rather than a typical blusher to tint the cheeks – watch to see exactly why – then creates a natural, fluffy brow and nude lip to finish. 

The internet went mad for Sofia Richie’s wedding-day make-up, with nearly every beauty influencer working double time to recreate the look. Sofia did us all a favour by hopping on TikTok herself to show exactly what she used and how. It’s no surprise the influencer opted for NudeStix – a brand she has been working with for a while now – to create a subtle, natural flush and contour. Elsewhere, her favourites are luxe – think Chanel – but they’re worth noting down if you’re ready to invest in some special products for your special day. 

Blondes who aren’t afraid to do something a little more glam for their wedding day will love this soft glam look. A subtle smokey eye with shades of brown and a bronzed gold means the eyes are elongated and defined. When it comes to the lashes, the MUA has gone for a delicate and fluffy look, also replicated on the brows. A top tip discovered here is to do eye make-up first, so you can use your concealer to clean up the edges and brighten. 

If your skin tone is more on the olive side, this look is an easy win. Keeping things clean and bronzy, the MUA opts for a soft but noticeable amount of liner to define the eyes, then washes over a light shimmer to bring back a bit of softness. Base wise, it’s Dior Face And Body – a long-time favourite for MUAs at events – finished off with a soft browny nude lip. 

Bethan’s chatty tutorial is one you may want to tune into with full attention. She talks through the exact prep and skincare she’d use, along with the shades, tones and brands she loves most for her paler skin tone. It’s particularly interesting to see how she builds coverage here with concealer, then goes in with a tinted base, before adding colour back to her skin. Setting spray is essential here, and her favourite is from Charlotte Tilbury. 

If you’ve got black or brown skin and want a more flawless finish from the comfort of your own home, it’s time to get into colour correction. Having identified a sure-fire way to ensure dark circles and pigmentation are undetectable under make-up, this MUA shares exactly where to position your colour corrector for the best results. Plus, she shows how best to apply foundation and eye make-up for a natural finish. 

For Indian brides going for traditional Indian wedding glam, it's typically be characterised by a bold eye and lip. If that isn't your style, but you don't want to go *too* natural in contrast to a bright red or embellished lehenga or saree, this look is the perfect balance of clean, defined and warm. The MUA also pops on some under-eye masks pre-make-up – a tip to brighten, depuff and calm the skin. 

Bronze and brown make-up is  what you’ll find in many eyeshadow palettes. If your preference leans to a rosier, pinkier hue – à la Sabrina Carpenter perhaps – this is a look worth bookmarking. Making the pink shades tonally consistent but never flat, and with just the right amount of shimmer, this look has an almost fairy-tale glow to it, with roots in a strong base and neutral tones. 

For Chinese brides looking for what the model and MUA in this video characterise a “traditional Chinese” make-up look - opt for glowing, flawless skin, a super subtle eye and a bold red lip. The tutorial is split into two parts, so you can really see the process and tips for applying the red lip correctly. We love the way the MUA shows each step clearly, and sets only where they don’t want the product to budge to keep a little glow. 

If you’ve opted for a high-flash, editorial aesthetic for the night of your wedding, you’ll want to think about how your make-up may look. While many products claim not to give flashback, this particular tutorial ensures you won’t get that nasty white cast, while still looking flawless and set. Soft, subtle and with subtle pink undertones, this look would be great on a range of skin tones.
