The Glossy Smokey Eye is a Must-Try from the Paris Fashion Week Runway

Tips For The Best Wedding Guest Makeup

1. Prep Your Skin

Skin prep is the #1 key to not only getting dewy looking makeup, but long-lasting makeup that doesn't crease! We asked the experts atDr. Hauschka what they would do for long lasting makeup, and they said, "Moisturized skin is glowing skin. Always prep face and with rich emollient moisturizers (like our certified natural Rose Day Cream). Your makeup will easily glide over face and blend with your moisturizer for a glowy finish." IMO, this tip is absolute gold because you don't want your skin to dry or cake over throughout the day, and it seems like this will really help with that!

They also said, "If you want your complexion to look naturally sun-kissed, look to bronzers you can blend with your foundation or moisturizer. (Mixing a few drops our Translucent Bronzing Tint with your moisturizer provides a subtle sun-kissed glow without shimmers.)" Talk about a glow! We love this dewy tip and have PLENTY of moisturizers, both tinted and otherwise, to recommend!

2. Opt For Simple

Next, you definitely want to opt for a more simple look, makeup-wise! It's better to keep things minimal instead of doing too much with a bold lip and bold eye. Makeup artist and owner of The Green Room Agency, Nysa Green said, "Pick one feature to be the focus of your look, and concentrate on that. It can even be legs or shoulders. Tone down everything else." We love this trick because it's so simple to choose either a fun eye shade or lip color and have that be the focal point!

Nyssa also said, "Use a setting spray to keep everything in place through the festivities." Setting spray is the key to really lock in your makeup and ensure it lasts all day!

And Nyssa's final tip? "Avoid a red lip unless you want to stand out in all the pictures!"

3. Don't Upstage the Bride

When doing wedding guest makeup, you want to make sure not to over-do it because you never want to appear like you're trying to upstage the bride in any way. Celebrity makeup artist, Stephanie G-M gave us a tip on this matter and said, "I suggest going for a look that elevates what your day look may already be. Starting with either a bit of color on your lips as a stain or eyes with statement jewelry (like above) means you'll be looking elegant but not out shining the bride's look."

She added, "Dewy skin and a little more blush than usual will also brighten up the look you go for. I would suggest just balancing it and not doing a full eye look and full lip look for the wedding." Duly noted!

4. Don't Forget Touch Ups

Stephanie G-M also gave us all the tips and tricks for how you can quickly — and effectively — touch up your wedding guest makeup throughout the day. She says, "Carry blotting paper with you for any shine that may occur instead of powdering it away when you are trying to achieve a dewy look. Always have a balm you can use to enhance highlight areas. You can always use your lip color as your cheek color too as the day goes on!" She also added, "You can always carry an eye liner with you if you choose to make it more bold for the evening." We love these tips for essentials to keep in our clutch!

Put It All Together For This Gorgeous Natural Wedding Guest Makeup

Makeup artist, Yaz Roque has a great look that is a must-try when it comes to the perfect wedding guest makeup look. She said, "With wedding guest makeup it’s key to keep it simple. I love to give wedding guests neutral tones, with a little bit of a shimmer on the lids. My tip would be to switch out your harsh liquid liner with a more smoked out liner, soft glam on the skin, and a pinky mauve or nude on the lips. You can even finish with my favorite lip oil at the moment byBlossom Beauty, it’s natural, smells amazing, and gives the right amount of shine for a perfect pour. Plus it’s under $7.” We love a good lip oil! I can't wait to try this look out for an upcoming wedding! This look is super natural yet still overstated enough for fancier occasions like a wedding.

What is latte makeup?

Similar to an actual latte, this makeup look focuses on brown and nude tones. It also aims to provide a natural glow for an overall bronzed goddess effect.

The actual name stems from content creator Rachel Rigler's viral TikTok video where she goes into depth about makeup looks that feature those warm and bronzy shades, and how she recreates it.

What color is latte in makeup?

Latte makeup uses browns and golds together to create a dimensional, warm, and glowy look!

Is latte a warm or cool color?

Like so many beauty trends, latte makeup is totally customizable for your features and skin tone. You can add cool things down with a blue-toned brown or add bronzy shades to warm everything up. Figure out which works better for you, or try something new every time!

How To Get A Summer Latte Makeup Look

Summer makeup is all about keeping things light and dewy.

1. You'll want to start by using a lightweight primer followed by skin tint or medium-coverage foundation.
2. From there, you can use a creamy contour to bring definition to your face. Lightweight bronzers will also do the trick!
3. Next, use concealer that's a few shades lighter than your skin tone to highlight under your eyes.
4. To set your face, you can use whatever powder you have at home, but translucent powder works best for this look.
5. For your lips, reach for a '90s brown lip liner and a nude lipstick that works for your skin tone. Mist your face with setting spray and you'll be staring at a recreated version of the latte makeup look.

Below you'll find a few more quick latte makeup tutorials for different skin tones.

Focusing on bright neutrals that feature gold and brighter versions of brown, orange, and pink is perfect for summer. You also can't go wrong with glowy products for your base!

This latte makeup look really proves how well a brown glossy lip ties everything together!

How To Get A Fall Latte Makeup Look

It doesn't take much to recreate a fall version of this look. You'll want to follow the above steps while opting for a smoky brown eye along with a deeper brown lip. You can also opt for heavier products for more coverage once the weather cools down.

Choose cooler browns and auburns instead of bright oranges and pinks to add even more dimension. The difference will be subtle but noticeable.

Choosing eyeshadow, bronzer, and a lip color that have similar undertones (like cooler shades with a blue undertone vs. warmer shades with a yellow undertone) will tie your look together even more.

If you want to lean into the fall latte makeup trend without being too heavy-handed, you can still achieve that smokey eye without piling on too many other products. This tutorial (featuring a lighter base and nude lip) is the proof!

The first step to bettering your 5K is to pick a race and sign up for it — most cities have a few 5K to choose from each weekend, so there should be plenty to choose from. Having a race on the calendar ensures you won’t skip out on your training. I recommend giving yourself 8-10 weeks to properly train.

The best 5K training plans, in my opinion, include 4-5 days of running a week. Every week should include:

• One or two speed workouts
• A few easy jogs
• A long run

You should never run hard or fast two days in a row — easy jogging and rest between speed workouts are both essential for rebuilding muscles damaged with hard workouts. Here's how each of the three main training workouts should go.

Speed Workouts

Every speed workout should begin with a 5-10 minute jogging warm up and a 5-10 minute jog/walk cooldown. This will help ensure you do not pull or strain any muscles.

The actual "speed" part of speed workouts can go one of two ways:

• Run 2-3 minutes at a harder 7 out of 10 effort, with a standing or walking rest of 2-3 minutes between each push.
• Run 6-8 repeats of a steep hill for 45-60 seconds in length with a walk back down, before repeating again.

Easy Jogs

Easy jogs should be kept at a conversational pace, so this would be a good time to grab your girlfriend or hop on the phone if you want some company. The best jogs should be about 2-3 miles in length, or 20-35 minutes in duration.

Long Runs

Long runs are arguably the most important workout of the week, and anyone trying to better their 5K time should make sure to include them in their training plan. Like the name suggests, a long run should be your longest run of the week. Your longest run can be anywhere from three miles at the beginning of the plan to 12 miles if you're an experienced and seasoned vet. I recommend starting with 3 miles at the beginning of your 8-10 week plan and working your way up to 5-8 miles by the end. You should do this by adding one half to a full mile each week. Although it may sound silly to run 8 miles in order to run a 3.1 mile race, this will help build your endurance more than any of your other weekly runs. Having endurance will make the race seem easier, and I can guarantee you'll pass people left and right in your final mile.

Note: You should also have at least 10 days between your longest long run and your 5k race so that you can feel as fresh as possible on race day.

The most important thing to remember on race day is to not go out too fast. If you sprint the first mile, the rest of the race will be miserable. Race day adrenaline will make you jittery and willing to sprint at the start, but working on controlling that will ensure a better race experience. Try to make your second and third mile faster than your first and give it all in the last .1 mile. After you’re done, soak in the race day atmosphere and grab a free banana! Don’t forget that the post race pain is temporary and remember not to sign up for another race while on an endorphin high!
