6 FABULOUS Bridal Beauty Looks for your wedding day.
Renowned international makeup artist Kemi Imevbore-Uwaga, head artist at KemiKings Beauty UK has collaborated with an A-list team of wedding professionals including Avos Hair, Firestone Photography, Seun D Beads and Lyze Hats to present “the Makeup Menu” for BellaNaija Weddings.
This is just the beginning, in a series of upcoming beauty posts, we will be sharing inspirations of fabulous looks you can rock on any of your celebratory events be it a wedding, birthday soiree, christening, or even a night out with the girls. Kemi helps takes out the guess work out of your makeup looks. She demystifies makeup and helps you accurately describe that look you want.

So back to the matter, which of these looks will you rock?
The Tahitian Princess
Just imagine your wedding at a swanky beach resort somewhere exotic! The flowers blooming all around, your loved ones happy and excited and your groom eagerly anticipating your arrival – the Tahitian Princess bridal look is effortlessly stunning from the free-flowing waves of the hair to the fresh-faced effect of the natural tones of the makeup. Lovely!
The Bombshell
This is a major beauty trend look for 2013 for bold and beautiful brides! We can totally imagine “the Bombshell” bridal look paired with a mermaid silhouette wedding gown which accentuates the bride’s curves in all the right places. The birdcage veil is the perfect piece to complete this look.
Pretty in Pink
Now this is for our fairytale princesses! Pretty in Pink bride in a dreamy all-lace ballgown paired with a cathedral length lace veil and bridesmaids all around in pastel hued dresses. Swoon!
Smokey Siren
Let us set the scene, an evening wedding in a stunning venue – groomsmen in tuxedos, bridesmaids in evening gowns – the groom looking dapper and the bride in bridal couture! We love how the low-bun bridal hairdo complements this look and let’s not forget the classic tulle veil perfectly tucked in. The Smokey Siren bride is simply modern and glamorous.
40s Chic
The vintage quality of this look translates into timeless elegance!
Royal Belle
Let’s not forget our royal belles! This is a fabulous look for a bride on her traditional engagement day or for brides who change for the night party at their white wedding reception. Regal and beautiful!

like them all except the tahitian
Nooooooo! It’s probably the hair that’s not bridal enough but the makeup is mwaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! simple and nice!
I agree. A Naija bride won’t appreciate that hairstyle, probably someone from the Cartibbeans will. I love it though, very different.
you are right. The makeup is lovely but i don’t feel d hair but it suits it name though cos most of their wedding are sort of casual,abi?
I love the Tahitian make-up!!! Its so subtle and classy!!! The hair for me is a no no.
as in every naija babe will be praying i bind every spirit that wants to hijack, sabotage my wedding IJMN!!! another prayer point will be any spirit of madness assigned upon my life on my wedding catch fire and go back hell where you came from IJMN…even ur mama go call you and i dont think any naija mom will allow her baby to pull this joke now.
i love The Tahitian Princess and Smokey Siren
Me too! We have great taste 🙂
Her make up is so natural looking – exactly the way you should look on your wedding day
*wails* I can’t choose one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like them all! *end wail*

I love the fact that the looks are not the regular Naija cliche type of makeup. Breath of fresh air.
Smokey Siren for me.
40s Chic is spot on!!!! The hair, makeup, beauty spot, sculpted red lips, white eye liner, pearl earrings… Everything!!!
I love it.
I love Smokey Siren sooooooooooooooooooooooooo on point
The Bridal Makeup I like in order of preference:

They’re all so pretty . My favorite is The Bombshell. x
Thanks for posting this 10days after my wedding 🙁
Eeeeeya… Pele dear.. I believe yu were beautiful on your day inrespective of the name of your makeup.. Happy married life
I love them all but my fav is 40’s chic.
all minus the tahitan

BN,more pls…..
They are all on point,love them all………….
Bombshell for me.
sooooooooo pretty
Thats what make up is all about ….any time u look at Lagos wedding they all look de same with too much gold colour on they eyes
Lovely makeup except Pretty Pink. The Pretty in Pink look is too…pink. If you’re to use pink all over the face, you should use different shades of pink. A light champagne pink shadow would have been fantastic.

What I want to know is who is the model? She hella fine men! Dang!
now this is simply beautiful…
this is exactly what make-up is suppose to do…
which is enhance once beauty.
i love it!!
I love all of them. so hard to choose. yes, the model is beautiful. i luv smoky siren, the coral look and pwetty in pink
Honestly I can’t choose one!!!they are all soooooooo pretty!!!
The tahitian one is also very nice if you are a fan of the more natural look. I see that working for an outdoor beachside wedding. This makeup artist is on point. Plus you have to give it up to the photography as well. It was well done. quality stuff
Definitely 40’s chic for me….love ittt
It is beautiful
Pretty in pink is da bomb
the model is beautiful! who is she?
Tahitian princess
I love all the looks and jeeez! that models facial features….gawgeous!!!!!
Lovely work. Love natural looks for weddings….
Royal belle does it for me beautiful corals, then the 40’s and the smokey look, I will rock any of the looks. Bella naija, what a breath of fresh air. Something different for once. Can’t wait to see more. Phew!
Great
EERRRMM SEE THIS MODELS SKINNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forget the make up, wowwwwwww.
Pretty in pink and the vintage look are stunning!!
I can’t believe BN is not crediting the model of this shoot,
she’s really beautiful. what’s her name?
lovely
Smokey Siren all the way
Omg, you need to check out the beader’s website, this is professionalism beyond words. Kai money good oh.
Bombshell for my white wedding. It’s exactly the look I have in my head because I’d also be using a birdcage veil which hides the eyes and so the lips should pop. For the traditional wedding, its either pretty in pink or royal belle.
this is so beautiful, all of them, am definitely stealing from here for my bridal makeup
40s chic! 40s chic!! 40s chic!!! #thatisall 🙂
may I add that apart from the makeup and what not?the girl is gorgeous??absolutely beautiful and stunning!!tell her I said so
Pretty in Pink & 40’s Chick.
i prefer the smokey siren, its really soo cool
Kudos, im not surprised. Seun did my traditional beads and her work is exceptional. Beautiful skin on the model, love all the looks.
Gorgeous model, and flawless makeup. She has very nice bone structure, and is perfect for this showcase.
The 40s chick .uhmmm! Lordt have mercy …..it’s crazy
d model is so fine. love all the make up.
the smoking siren and the royal belle are my favorite. Too bad you cant choose two, i chose the royal belle tho. she looked like an african queen in that one.
I love love love them all. Very creative and inspiring.

40’s chic or the Bombshell work for me.. Love it!! Royal Belle goes without saying….
yh ermm wt abt dark skin people?.. i mean not all women getting married are light.. good make up tho.
love the smoky siren and pretty in pink.dont mind having both in the church and reception.40s gal lovely but i prefer that for royal belle.
i js luv the 40s chick it look luvly
I personally felt a bit let down by the make-up in general…….expected much better from Kemi-Kings…for Kemi-Kings standard, it looks a little plain
Some make up artist do not have the qualities it takes to be a make up artist
