15 Gorgeous Hijabi Bridal Styles
As a bridal hair and makeup artist in the UK, I often get asked how to create glam bridal looks for hijabis. My answer: with flair, creativity, and a lot of setting spray. Here are 15 jaw dropping hijabi bridal looks to inspire your big day, from the classic to the full glam.
The Classic
Classic winged eyeliner, soft contouring, and a red lip paired with a white lace hijab. Pin the hijab slightly further back from the hairline than usual so it doesn’t crease your forehead makeup, and set your base with a mist before draping so it survives the pinning.
Golden Glow-Up
For the bride who wants to shine brighter than the sun, gold eye makeup, dewy skin, and a champagne coloured hijab. Go for a satin rather than chiffon fabric in this shade, satin holds pins more securely through a long reception.
Peach Perfection
Fresh and sweet, peachy eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick with a simple satin hijab. Cream products throughout keep this look from reading as flat under photography lighting, powder alone can look chalky against a light hijab colour.
Understated Elegance
Barely there makeup with a focus on radiant skin, paired with a simple silk hijab. Silk shows every crease, so have your MUA steam it before pinning rather than ironing, ironing can leave a shine mark that shows in photos.
Sultry Smoky Eyes
A smoky eye never goes out of fashion, paired with nude lips and a dramatic headpiece. Anchor the headpiece into the hijab fabric with u-pins rather than the hair underneath, it holds far better through dancing.
Retro Chic
1920s glamour with marcel style waves pinned into the hijab fold, berry lips, and a tulle hijab. You absolutely can get a waved, textured silhouette under a hijab, it’s about how the underscarf is shaped, not the hair itself.
Blushing Rose Gold
Rose gold eyeshadow, rosy cheeks, and a delicate pink hijab for the ultimate romantic look. Match your blush undertone to the hijab fabric rather than your outfit, it’s what ties the whole face together in photos.
Ultimate Glam
Full glam makeup with glitter eyeshadow and a hijab adorned with crystals. Apply glitter with a flat brush and a tacky base rather than your fingers, fallout is harder to clean off fabric than off skin.
Emerald Enchantment
Green eyeshadow, or eyeliner if you’re feeling shy, paired with a white or green hijab for a pop of colour. Keep the rest of the face neutral so the green reads as a deliberate accent rather than competing with the hijab colour.
Berry Bold
Swap nude lips for a bold berry tone, with soft brown eyeshadow and a complementary purple toned hijab. Line the lips fully before filling in, berry shades wear off patchily on the inner lip faster than nudes do.
Bronzed Beauty
Bronzed eyes, bronzed skin, bronzed lips, a neutral toned hijab ties it all together. Cream bronzer under powder bronzer gives more longevity through a full wedding day than powder alone.
Floral Fantasy
Fresh flowers pinned into a soft pastel hijab, with dewy skin and soft pink lips. Ask your florist for flowers without heavy pollen, it’s a small detail that saves your outfit from stains during the ceremony.
Earthy Elegance
Taupe and beige eyeshadows, light contouring, and a beige silk hijab for a chic, muted vibe. Warm the contour shade slightly if your hijab is a cool beige, otherwise the face can read flat next to the fabric.
Crimson Majesty
For the daring bride, a deep red hijab paired with golden eyeshadow and red lips. Choose a blue based red lipstick against a warm red hijab, the contrast reads as regal rather than clashing.
Heavenly Glow
Celestial vibes, silver eyeshadow, frosted pink lips, and a sheer white hijab. Sheer fabrics need a properly opaque underscarf beneath, it’s what keeps the whole look polished rather than see through under flash photography.
that’s a wrap!
Hijabi bridal styles are all about enhancing your natural beauty while working with the hijab rather than around it, that’s the real skill.
Happy glamming, lovelies!
