Mother of the Bride Makeup
Polished and soft for the whole day: a hydrating satin base, matte taupe and champagne eyes, a fine smudged liner and a creamy rosy-mauve lip that stays put.
When to wear it
Wear it for your child's wedding, from the morning photos to the last dance, with a dress and jacket. It is for you if you want polish without glitter or heavy lashes. The pictures show it on a woman in her 60s and one in her late 50s, both with fine lines and glasses, and on deep-set eyes.

How it's done
A light, hydrating satin base with a fine layer of foundation and concealer under the eyes, set with powder only on the centre of the face. A soft rose cream blush on the apples, blended up. A cream highlight on the tops of the cheekbones only. Brows filled with soft hair strokes. A matte soft taupe through the crease and a satin champagne on the centre of the lid, with no glitter. A fine brown pencil pressed into the upper lash line and smudged, and lengthening black-brown mascara. Lips lined in a rosy-mauve liner to keep the edge crisp and filled with a creamy rosy-mauve lipstick.
Questions
- What makeup suits a mother of the bride over 50?
- Thin layers and creamy textures. This look uses a light satin base with powder only on the centre of the face, a rose cream blush, a cream highlight on the cheekbones and a satin champagne lid with no glitter.
- Can I try it with my glasses on?
- Yes. Take your selfie in the frames you will wear on the day. Two of the pictures show the look on women in glasses, so you can see the fine smudged liner and lengthening mascara behind the lenses.
