Bridal Look: Soft Warm Pinks

Warm pink is a beautifully feminine look on so many warm tones; think of it as a universal warm peach with a dash of pink - but not too much (which would only sallow warm complexions.) This is the best pink for warm toned women. Pink is always popular, but a true blue toned pink just doesn't sit right and can make warm skin look overly yellow or bring out any redness (like blemishes) in an unflattering way.

This bride is warm toned. She has a soft warm skin tone with low contrast. This means she needs soft, muted colours (ideally analogous) to really look her best. And her pinks need to be just a dash away from apricot, peach and salmon shades.

As a soft warm, the most important thing is that all the shades used on the face are harmonious with each other and not more than 2 - 3 shades away from each other - low contrast. You can see that the eyes and the lips are harmonious, they really look like the same colour used at different saturation points, and this is ideal for a soft warm. Using one colour and working with its hues to create a soft look. Soft warms are all about softness and this the key element for them to look their best.

And don't you just love the addition of tiny diamantes at the corner of her eyes instead of a winged out lined eye? Its just a little bit different, but still elegant.
The skin has been shaded to stay in its ideal soft warmth with the Daniel Sandler contour kit with just a dash of pinky blush over the contouring. The clarins cheek colour has been used on the eyes as well as the cheeks to keep it all harmonious. Here are the products that made this look happen:
