Kohl-ringed eyes and inky nails for your wedding day? To this bridal beauty query we say yes, yes, yes! As we know, opposites attract, and there’s nothing we love more than the high-contrast, oh-so-chic effect of pairing graphite eyes or plumy lips with a dreamy white wedding gown. If you desire the dark side, determine what feature will anchor your look—eyes or lips—then keep the rest of your face clean and nearly nude. For eyes, serious smudging is key to achieving the ultimate smoky eye; for lips, slick on a velvet cream lipstick to give your pout a pretty, plush finish. To seriously amp up the vamp factor, take it to the max by finishing your bridal beauty look with an aubergine nail polish and a heady old-school fragrance that packs a powerful, yet sexy, punch.
