Your wedding day is one occasion you want to go all out with the outfit, the jewellery and most of all, the makeup! And even if you aren’t too skilled as far as applying makeup goes, you know your makeup artist can ace any bridal look that you aspire. Talking about eye makeup, many of us are fans of the smokey eye look, and ladies, going by what we’ve seen on our stunning real brides, your wedding day is the perfect occasion to flaunt this. Here are some of the best bridal smokey eye makeup we spotted… Take some inspiration if you’re a soon-to-be bride or are to attend a wedding soon.
1. Glam gold

We love the neatness in this look. A uniform coat of gold eyeshadow, fine black eyeliner and the outer corners that stand out due to the smokey black eyeshadow that compliments the gold beautifully. This one’s quite the stunner!
2. Half and half

If you take a close look, this gorgeous bride has the lower half of her eyelid covered with black liner and eyeshadow, whereas the top half blends into softer colours. The defined brows and oodles of mascara add so much to this look! We love!
3. Pretty in pink

Stunner alert! The shimmery, soft pink on the eyelids that blends into the smokey black outer corners makes for some lovely bridal eye makeup, we think. Screenshot this and show it to your makeup artist right away, we say!
4. Dark and dreamy

While the eyeliner on this bride is neat and defined, the multiple shades of brown and grey eyeshadow that are layered on the eyelids make this quite a winning bridal look. All smokey and stunning, this.
5. Mesmerizing Matte

If you totally love the smokey eye but are having a day wedding, this is the eye makeup look you should be aiming for. The matte gold eyeshadow that extends into a brown on the outer corners is a nice twist to the smokey eye look, isn’t it? Finish up with a fine stroke of winged eyeliner and you’re good to go.
6. Bring on the bold

This one’s an out-and-out bold smokey eye that we’re totally in love with. This bride has her entire eyelid covered with black and grey eyeshadow that’s well blended. The generous amount of mascara and neat eyeliner sure adds manifold to the look.
7. All that glitters is gold

A great way to add shimmer to the smokey eye, this. The bride went for tons of shimmer and the outer V of the eye is in darker shades that make it an elegant, extremely bridal smokey eye look. We’re mesmerized! Are you too?
8. Edgy excellence

The, sharp edges of this smokey eye makeup is what we’ve fallen for. A brownish, black eyeshadow on the outer edges that blends into the nude/beige eyeshadow on the rest of the eyelid is surely a look you want to take inspiration from, brides-to-be.
9. Basic black

This bride meant business when she opted for the smokey eye look on her big day. And why we say that is because it’s an all-black look that she went for – black eyeshadow until the crease. We also see multiple layers of mascara that go wonderfully with this eye makeup style. She balanced out her look by going for soft pink lips and a very subtle cheek tint. We give her a thumbs up!
10. Shimmer and shine

How majestic does this bride look?! Those ultra arched brows and shimmer on the eyelids, that extend into multiple shades of brown eyeshadow on the outer corners is a look any bride would want on D-day. Also, we love that there is a coat of that sheen on her black eyeliner too!
