Bridal Beauty Prep Guide: Setting Realistic Glam Expectations Series 4, Part 2 — Setting Expectations & Inspo✨ by JoAnn Salgado Makeup Artistry LLC

💄 Enhancing, Not TransformingYour wedding day is one of the most photographed moments of your life — and your makeup should make you feel confident, timeless, and authentically you.
In this part of my Bridal Beauty Prep Guide Series, I’m sharing how to set realistic glam expectations and find inspiration that truly represents you.

💍 Why Realistic Glam MattersIt’s easy to fall in love with Pinterest or Instagram looks — but every face, skin tone, and wedding setting is unique.
My goal is to help you choose a look that highlights your best features, feels comfortable to wear, and photographs beautifully in your lighting and setting.
Your bridal glam isn’t about changing how you look — it’s about elevating your natural beauty with a timeless touch.

🌸 Finding Your Perfect InspoWhen searching for bridal makeup inspiration, focus on:
✔️ Brides with a similar complexion or features
✔️ Photos taken in natural light
✔️ Styles that match your personality and vibe
Bring a few of your favorite inspo photos to your bridal preview. We’ll use them as a guide while customizing your look to fit your skin tone, hairstyle, and overall wedding theme.
