BN Bridal Beauty: An International Splash of Colour by Joy Adenuga

To honor women around the world, makeup artist Joy Adenuga has creatively inspired us with her brides around the world beauty feature.

She shares with BellaNaija Weddings,

I have always been fascinated by brides of non-Nigerian ethnicity. Their outfits, makeup, hair and the ceremony. I decided to pick three of my favourites to recreate on a shoot with an amazing team.”

Enjoy & be inspired!

The South African bride -“The colours and vibrance of the jewels on their brides is just breathtaking! I used jewel toned colours on her eyes and lips to compliment the jewellery.”

The Hawaiian Bride – “With so many colours on the Chinese and South African bride, I wanted to create something fresh and clean for brides who are not comfortable with so much vibrance. I used pink in various hues to create a ‘glow from within’ look on my stunning model.”

The Chinese bride – “I have been fortunate to work on a Chinese bride, this actually started my fascination with traditional brides of other ethnicities. Their traditional Chinese attire with the headpiece is just beautiful!”
