However, the edgy bride has a style that's all her own. Her out-of-the-box, unorthodox beauty look is for someone looking to stay true to their own hip and individual style instead of conforming to one that's Read more
Part three of my series on Wedding Makeup 101, is catered towards the eco-conscious bride. She's someone who wants to make the world a better place. She'll likely be wearing a gown made from animal-free or organic materials, use recycled paper for her invitations, and make sure that her big day coheres with environmentally sound guidelines.
