10 Faces Every Bride Makes During Makeup
Every bride dreams of looking flawless on her wedding day. But what most people don’t talk about? The faces you’ll make while getting there. From squints to smirks, the bridal makeup process could be its own comedy reel. Don’t worry—your makeup artist has seen them all (and probably has a favorite).
Here are the top 10 faces every bride makes in the chair—complete with GIF-worthy moments:
1. The “Don’t Poke My Eye” Face
When eyeliner gets close, suddenly you’re in a thriller movie—eyes wide, body frozen, waiting for the jump scare.
(Think: cat watching a laser pointer.)
2. The Lipstick Purse
I say, “Relax your lips.” You hear, “Pretend you’re sipping soup from an invisible spoon.”
(Imagine a toddler refusing veggies.)
3. The Mascara Blink Struggle
Trying so hard not to blink… but ending up fluttering like Bambi caught in headlights.
4. The Contour Confusion
You peek in the mirror mid-way and think: “Why do I look like a football player ready for the Super Bowl?”
(Trust the process, bride. Trust it.)
5. The “Is This Really My Shade?” Squint
That skeptical glance, as if you’re auditioning for a detective role. (Spoiler: No, I’m not making you orange. Promise.)
6. The Setting Spray Flinch
The mist is light and refreshing, but your reaction? As if I just sprayed you with a garden hose.
7. The “Oops, I Talked While You Did My Lips” Face
Mid-conversation, you forget your lips are being painted. Suddenly, you look like you lost a fight with a clown.
8. The False Lash Fear
When the lash strip hovers near your eye, you sit perfectly still like a statue—convinced it’s a tarantula about to pounce.
9. The “Wow, That’s Me?” Expression
Full glam reveal. Jaw drops. Eyes widen. You’re equal parts Beyoncé and Disney princess.
10. The Happy-Cry Face
Because once the glam is finished and it all feels real, the tears come. Thank goodness for waterproof mascara (see Face #1).
Final Touch
So yes, you’ll make a dozen funny faces during your bridal glam session. But in the end? You’ll walk down the aisle glowing, gorgeous, and picture-perfect—faces, flinches, and all.
