While the happy couple is unquestionably the focus of any wedding celebration, it’s important to remember how special this day is for loved ones as well. And this is particularly true for the parents of the couple who have watched their children grow-up and thought long and hard about this special day. No wonder that so many mothers of the bride and groom will pay such close attention to their outfit and overall appearance. When it comes to makeup, many mothers feel overwhelmed as the big day is edging ever closer. So whether you will be doing your makeup yourself or by a makeup artist, we have compiled some beautiful mother of the bride and groom makeup looks along with products particularly suited for more mature skin.

Pink Bronze Mother of the Bride Makeup

mother-of-the-bride-groom-makeup-pink

The use of pink hues in any makeup look will give the appearance of a younger looking face and fresh complexion. We love this particularly look achieved with Charlotte Tilbury products which suits most skin and eye colours. The eyes are the focal point of this makeup look but the most important step is getting the makeup base right (particularly with more mature skin where makeup can accentuate fine lines after a few hours).

“Give a woman a woman the right makeup and she can conquer the world.”

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream & Magic Eye Rescue

Prepping the skin well before applying makeup is the most important step in your entire routine. And this is particularly true for mature skin which needs to be well moisturised and hydrated, especially around the eye area. With quite the cult following, you can’t go wrong with Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream and Magic Eye Rescue for this. We also recommend doing light exfoliation before applying your moisturiser (we love this Omorovicza Refining Facial Polisher).
