Brides looking for fresh-faced, classic makeup can end their search at Oscar de la Renta. Working with Mikey Castillo, makeup director for Le Métier de Beauté, the iconic designer wanted to create a woman in the vein of Grace Kelly — someone in "the bloom of her beauty," as Castillo put it. Satin eye shadows and barely there eyeliner created a graceful look that any bride can pull off on her own.
The look: Satin-finish eye shadows, rose champagne eyeliner, subtle pink hues.
The inspiration: A woman feeling most beautiful on her wedding day.
Key tips: Work your eyeliner tightly into the eyelash bed so you don't see a black line over the eyelid. This will keep your liner in place all day.

Nancy's crisp white crepe number, inspired by the wedding dress that the Duchess of Windsor wore in1937, was adorned with button detail and was just one of three looks she wore that day. This particular ensemble was complemented by a fresh white flower in her half-up, half-down wavy brown hair and perfectly polished bridal makeup.
