In the 1950s and 1960s, bridal makeup was characterized by timeless elegance and sophistication. Brides sported flawless skin, red lips and long, defined lashes. The emphasis was on enhancing the bride's natural beauty in a refined and discreet way.


In the 1970s, with the advent of the feminist movement and sexual liberation, bridal makeup began to reflect a more relaxed and casual style. Brides opted for natural and fresh looks, with soft tones and matte finishes. Makeup focused on highlighting the luminosity of the skin and the freshness of the face, avoiding excesses and overly produced looks.

Brides opted for more natural and ethereal looks, with soft tones and luminous finishes. The emphasis was on enhancing the individual beauty of each bride in a delicate and elegant way.
