It’s not uncommon to experiment with extravagant hairstyles for your special day, and sometimes that involves changing or manipulating your hair texture. Today, more brides are not only embracing their natural hair texture for their wedding day hair, but they’re opting to DIY their ‘do. Avoiding heat damage is always a positive. Create a small inspiration board to help you nail down the look you want for your natural tresses.

If you plan on trying a complex style, like a 4D braid or an infinity braid, you may want to enlist the help of a professional braider.

If you’re a makeup lover, no wedding look is complete without a set of bold lashes, and mascara layering is a trick to help you get exactly that. Especially suited for the bride who’s averse to lash extensions or can’t tolerate false eyelashes (strips or wispies), layering mascara still lets you achieve a bold and stunning eye makeup look. Check out our article, How To Layer Mascara For Long And Voluminous Lashes for six simple steps to beautiful, long lashes.

Red Wine Lipstick

There’s no rule that says that you can’t sport a sultry lipstick shade for your day of matrimony. After all, you’re likely wearing white down the aisle after Labor Day—so let’s just consider previous rules and restrictions off the table. Indulge in a vampy lipstick color such as red wine, a popular pick for the season. We love the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Creamy Matte Lipstick, Rich Hydration in Rouge Ulti-Matte-Um for its creamy texture and matte staying power.

Copper Hair Color

It may not be a smart idea to make a drastic hair color switch right before your wedding if you’re unsure about the results, but if you’re bold and want a seasonally inspired hue, we recommend copper. It’s a brilliant color that looks good on everyone, year-round. And when it plays against the rich greens, reds and tan hues that are popular during the cold weather months, it’s downright stunning.

 

Editor’s Tip: Whether you head to your colorist or decide to DIY, keep your color vibrant leading up to the big day (and beyond) with an at home hair gloss. Reach for the L’Oréal Paris Le Color Gloss One Step In-Shower Toning Gloss when your hair color needs a boost and your strands need some shine.

Faux Tanning

Keeping that fresh-from-vacation radiance is a desire we have year-round, and it can be especially important on your big day. But it can be hard to hold onto your summer tan when the temperatures begin to drop and you retreat indoors. Fake that sun-kissed glow using self-tanner, like the L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Facial Drops, Fragrance-Free. You can apply it a few days before the ceremony and add more the night before if you want an even deeper tan.

Orange Tones

When we think of fall go-to beauty colors, orange makes the top of the list for good reason. It’s a hue that reminds us of fallen leaves, all things pumpkins (including Halloween lanterns and our favorite spiced latte) and looks dazzling on all skin tones. Pick an orange hue that complements your complexion, and don’t forget to keep your dress color in mind. Incorporating it into your look can be as simple as a touch of orange blush, or a shimmery orange-toned accent nail for your bridal manicure.

If you ask most experts which color palette is a fail-safe for a wedding during any season, they’ll likely say nude. Keeping your beauty look neutral is an easy way to make it classic, ensuring that it has a timeless feel—those photos really are forever. 

 

If you’re looking for some long-wearing nude products to help you get the look, allow us introduce you to some of our favorites: The L’Oréal Paris Les Nus by Colour Riche Intense Nude Lipstick, the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Palette Nude, and the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lip Liner.
