Here are some women who went with bare-faced makeup looks on their wedding days.

Lishai B., 28

Lishai had one goal in mind: When she looks back at her wedding pictures, she shouldn’t feel like she can’t recognize the woman in them. That made her stick to her decision of no foundation, irrespective of how much her makeup artist tried to change her mind. She went with her concealer, eye shadow, lipstick, eyeliner, and mascara. In the end, she was extremely happy with her look, and the pictures looked great too.

Jessica Moore from Fort Worth, TX, avoids using foundation on a daily basis, and on her wedding day, she followed her routine.

Nicole Z., 41

Nicole Z. from Jacksonville supported the no foundation look on her big day due to an incident from her high school days. A particular girl who always wore makeup didn’t one day, which made her unrecognizable to others. That incident changed Nicole’s perception of makeup and how she would want to use it.

For her makeup look, she chose her sister as her artist, who had only used a few products like brow gel, sunscreen, mascara, eyeliner, blush, and lip color to give Lin that perfect glow.
