"Treat your makeup like jewelry for the face. Play with colors, shapes, structure - it can transform you." - Francois Nars

A brush of magic, and you've transformed into that Disney princess you've always dreamed of. That's the brilliance of makeup. Every girl deserves to feel like a princess on their wedding day, and we're going to show you how. Some of the makeup fads trending this 2014 will leave your mouth watering for more!

Lipstick gamesAs far as lip trends go this year, nudes, blushing pinks, and delicious berries are the way to go. Teasing and coy, these not-so, yet invisible shades will transform our beloved brides into irresistible coquettes.

PS: For all you bold and boisterous brides out there, another color to watch out for is the exuberant orange (it's the new red!)

'Cat eyes' are a simple, yet transformative trend that has been around for a while now. This feline fad will not only give that scandalously shocking effect to the demure bride, but it will also help accentuate those undiscovered cheekbones. So bust out your liquid liner and start practicing for that perfectly clean line!

This wedding season, do away with open-haired styles and boring buns. Bashful braids have suddenly gone bold and are no longer reserved for the girl next door. New-age brides are slowly realizing that braids can look totally chic and glamorous. They look absolutely fabulous on any jaw line or outfit, can be worn in a million different ways, and can be adorned with pretty accessories, such as flowers, barrettes and so forth. So be they regular, French or fishtail braids, these artistic tangled webs are out to make a statement.

Thin, flimsy and machine-made eyebrows are so passé. The age of big and bold brows is back. Natural-looking eyebrows add a softness to the face, which is a secret that has recently been rediscovered. They symbolize how our generation is tracing its way back to long-forgotten trends. So for all those brides with not very well-endowed brows, make optimum use of the brow pencil to get perfectly groomed eyebrows and instantly revamp your look.

While it's tradition in some cultures to go bold with bridal makeup to match the usually vibrant bridal attire, it's also important for you to not look like a vamp on your wedding day. So it's important to strike a contrast between the lip and eye shade you're going to wear. If you want that smokey or beautiful cat-eyed look for your eyes, make sure you wear a nude lip color and not a hot pink to accompany it. Similarly, play down your eyes if you plan on shocking your lips with a vibrant red or orange.

So on this very voguish note and in the spirit of all things festive, keep the planning going for your D-Day, and watch this space for more insightful and life-changing updates. Good luck!
