🎀 Introduction
Your bridal makeup should reflect your personality and complement your outfit, venue, and the time of day. But when faced with the choice between a natural look or a glamorous one, many brides-to-be feel stuck.
Let’s decode the difference between *natural vs glam bridal makeup* and help you decide which is perfect for your wedding day.
