Soft Glam Bridal Makeup that Lasts: My July Bride’s Wedding Day Glow

There’s nothing I love more than helping my brides feel confident, radiant, and completely themselves on their wedding day - and my beautiful July bride, Simeng, was the perfect example. She wanted a soft glam bridal look that highlighted her natural beauty, felt lightweight, and most importantly, would hold up through the summer heat and humidity.

For her wedding, we leaned into a timeless, glowing style. With her gorgeous features, I tailored her makeup to enhance her eyes with soft definition, gave her skin a lit-from-within glow, and built light layers of skin prep, foundation, and concealer that wouldn’t budge no matter how much dancing, hugging, and celebrating she did. The result? A look that felt romantic, effortless, and completely wedding-day ready. It also made Simeng feel like herself!

Bridal makeup in the summer comes with unique challenges (hello, humidity!). That is why I focused on prepping her skin properly, choosing lightweight but long-lasting products, and setting everything in place so her makeup stayed fresh from “I do” to the very last dance. Layering with one of my favorite setting sprays from Jung Sae Mool, helped the creams and powders to melt and blend effortlessly, preventing a cakey makeup look. Everything was sealed in with a final spray using the One Size Setting Spray.

The bride was such a joy to glam, and her radiant, soft glam look is a reminder that wedding makeup doesn’t need to be heavy to last - it just needs the right prep and the right products.
