BridalMakeup_Geraldine_BellaNaija 1UK-based makeup artist Geraldine Kitenge expresses her view of a modern 21st century bride, bridesmaids and groom in her bridal photo shoot entitled “when bride meets soft glam”.

The shoot is inspired by the transition makeup artists have become accustomed to, with the new idea of contoured and highlighted cheekbones, nude lips, defined eyebrows, gold/brown in the eyelid crease and a super cute winged liner for all shades/skin types.

Geraldine portrays her bride as a black woman embracing glamour in her own way, representing something the artist has always desired for herself – which is why her aim is to “make every woman feel special”.

Makeup has indeed evolved with celebrities as our biggest trendsetters! Here’s the bridal shoot below.
