How to pick the right makeup
Having your bridesmaid makeup done for a wedding is such a fun experience, but it can be a little daunting if it’s your first time or you’re the only redhead in the group. Your makeup artists will most likely be experienced in all skin tones so trust the process, but bring photos and speak up if there’s a style you really want. It’s also a great idea to bring some of your own makeup if you’re worried they won’t have your color.

How to style your red hair
If the bride doesn’t have a hairstyle picked out for you, opt for something soft and romantic like half up half down curls with a braid for depth and texture. If you’re doing your own hair for the wedding, try big soft curls pinned back to one side for a simple yet elegant look. Practice your hairstyle a few times before the wedding to make sure you’ve got it down.

Just remember, this is the bride’s special day and she’s honoring you by asking you to stand by her side. Do what you can to make things easy on her and be as helpful as possible.

Rock it like a Redhead!
