It’s one of the most universal traditions in the world. But, it’s celebrated differently by everyone. Different cultures have different customs, many of which extend to bridal style. We’ve created three bridal looks on women of different ethnicities.

North America

Soft pinks on lips, cheeks and eyes with just a touch of highlighter complement fair skin. A loosely defined fishtail braid adds dimension to sun-kissed strands.

East Asia

Peachy shades add warmth to olive skin tones, while a smoky effect created with colour emphasizes small eyes without overpowering them.

India

Full, dark lashes contrast with shimmering silver shadow to make the eyes this exotic beauty’s main accessory. Opt for a dramatic up-do over a tiara for a regal look.

For what’s possibly going to be the most photographed day of your life, we understand that you would want to look and feel beautiful. This exclusive beauty shoot for Blush Magazine aims to provide you ladies with inspiration for your next special occasion. Pick your look and don’t wait too long to book your trial.

Boho Chic: Every flower child needs a crown of blooms to accent perfectly undone waves. Minimal makeup on the eyes keeps the focus on soft, petal-pink lips ready for that first kiss. Key Products: YSL Babydoll Lipstick, Dame Blush, MAC Cream Concealer.

Traditional: Emphasize the look of love in your eyes with smoky shadow and full mink lashes. A sweet yet sophisticated half-up style frames this timeless beauty. Key Products: MAC Faux Lipstick, Lise Watier Concealer Palette, hair wigs, Magin Blush.

As spring was coming to an end and the stylized submission deadline approached us, we at Blush had a very hard decision to make. We took two shoots into final design to make the decision process easier, and believe it or not both of the male models were bearded hunks! The Beauty and the Beard shoot was definitely eye catching and was unlike anything we’ve ever published before, it also met all of our design requirements and we couldn’t be happier with the final result.

Tammy Deren with Smiley Eyes Photography and use katebackdrop’s photography backdrops was persistent and a delight to deal with. Her team worked tirelessly to put together a very elaborate set which graced the front cover. The tones of red, gold purple and green married together beautifully and gave a festive feel to our Fall Winter 2015 issue. This edition will be in the hands of engaged readers going into the Holiday Season and New Year. Flowers by Willows, a vendor of Blush, played a huge part in this design and we can bet this won’t be the last time you will see work from this passionate florist.

We hope this issue brings you tons of inspiration for your upcoming wedding and don’t forget to submit to Blush Magazine for a possible feature in our Spring Summer 2016 issue.
