Brilio.net - Bridal makeup is often identical with thick makeup and contrasting colors. Makeup artists (MUA) often use foundation with a lighter tone than the bride's natural skin color, so that the final appearance looks different from the original face. This is often debated, whether such makeup is still relevant or actually makes the bride lose her natural impression.
However, each MUA certainly has their own reasons why bridal makeup should be thick. One of the reasons is so that the bride looks stunning on her special day. In addition, thick makeup is also more durable and still looks charming in various lighting conditions, especially in photo and video sessions.
This is also applied by a MUA who shared her makeup results through the TikTok account @diyah_makeuppati. In the upload, the MUA shows the transformation of a Javanese bride who was made up with the Korean look concept.
Typically, Korean makeup is known for its soft look and emphasizes a dewy and fresh impression, unlike traditional bridal makeup which tends to be bold. However, to achieve the flawless look typical of Korean makeup, the MUA still applies layers of makeup.
At the beginning of the video, the bride is seen being smeared with primer and corrector to make the foundation color more even. Then, the MUA applies the foundation with a layering technique to ensure the final result remains smooth and blends with the skin. With this combination of modern and traditional techniques, the bride manages to look beautiful, fresh, and still has a touch of Javanese bridal makeup.

It looks like the foundation contrasts with the bride's skin color. Moreover, the MUA keeps adding foundation to the bride's face.
Because of her actions, the MUA received harsh comments because her putty was considered as thick as a German dictionary. Even so, the MUA explained that the use of thick foundation was so that the bride's makeup could last all day.

After applying the foundation, the MUA covers it with loose powder. The goal is for the foundation to be absorbed perfectly. To smooth the bride's face, the MUA also provides compact powder.

Her eyebrows are made thicker. Her eyelashes are also made 2 layers to be thicker. Considering that bridal makeup must be made striking.
Her client wore gray contact lenses that contrasted with peach eyeshadow and blush. Her eyeliner was thin and her eye makeup was enhanced with a little highlighter on the inner corner.
To complete her client's look, the MUA used an ombre nude lipstick. As a result, the bride's face did not look pale at all despite wearing the lipstick color.
