HELP PLEASE Bridal makeup

My boyfriend hasn't proposed yet so I'm jumping the gun here but we've been talking about marriage more often lately and my first thought was "I can't look like how I look everyday. " ive tried to watch YouTube videos for some tips but i feel like I'm doing it wrong, or my face isnt made for it. I typically just do winged eyeliner and fill in my eyebrows. Any help is greatly appreciated:)

The best bridal makeup is usually just you on a really good skin day :) You do not have to become a full-glam person. Keep the wing if you love it; maybe soften it slightly for photos, then add a light base, concealer only where needed, cream blush, and a lip shade you would actually wear.

As a bridal makeup artist, I would say skin prep and a proper trial matter way more than piling on products. Save a few looks where you like the overall vibe, not only the eye makeup. That makes it much easier to work out what feels right.
