5 must-have eyeshadow palettes for the pastel bride

If there is one consistent trend we’ve seen this wedding season, it’s how soft, pastel hues have dominated our social media feeds. With more and more brides opting for blush-hued, pastel and ivory lehengas, it’s only fitting that the makeup be minimal and natural. Take for instance, Bollywood actor Kiara Advani’s barely-there look with just a swipe of dusty rose on the lids and cheeks. Or, model and digital creator, Alanna Panday’s nuptials where her look comprised frosty eyeshadow and nude lips. 

From light jewel-toned colours to pinks and nudes, we love how these pastel palettes add a touch of glam without making one’s makeup look overdone. Here are five palettes that will do the job to make you look like an ethereal bride—be it that sun-kissed glow or a peachy flush. 

Charlotte Tilbury Easy Eye Palette, Charlotte Darling

Featuring six shades that range from pinks and peaches to terracotta and bronze hues, this palette offers a versatile mix of colours whether you’re looking at a day time wedding or a slightly more elegant evening soiree. The colours are highly pigmented and offer a jewel-like finish for that perfect, sun-kissed bridal glow.

This one is a winner in our books. The shade range is versatile, moving from light pinks and peachy creams to molten copper and chestnut browns. You have a great mix of matte and shimmer eyeshadows that pair beautifully with any outfit. The shades are also cleverly arranged where you can use them as a quad, for the perfect matte and shimmer combinations. These are also formulated with coconut water and hyaluronic acid so they won’t crease and dry out easily on the lids.

The shimmery shades are quote iridescent, offering high colour payoff as well.
