How a bride looks on the wedding day is usually one of the most popular topics among guests. It’s right there next to such classics as the weather or that uncle that got way too drunk. And one of the key components of their appearance is bridal makeup. Based in Prizren, Kosovo, beauty and makeup artist Arber Bytyqi is a man of many traits, and one of them is exactly that; accentuating brides’ facial features.
The best way to examine Arber’s makeup ideas is through his prominent online presence. So far, the makeup artist has amassed over 262k Instagram followers by regularly uploading pictures of the beautiful brides he’s worked on. Other fashion and beauty projects aside, a big part of his feeds consists of before-and-after pics of the brides he worked with and their striking transformations.

It’s also worth remembering that every bride is different with their own style and personality. Some love natural makeup, others want the full-on glam, and some brides request alternative bridal looks that are quite rare even on Pinterest. There are rarely rules when it comes to their big day, but throughout history, makeup trends have come and gone.

“I got interested in makeup when I was just a child,” Arber told Bored Panda. “The first drawings that I did were of eyes, girls, or dresses. I used to take my mom’s make-up and play with it when I was only five years old, so I knew that I’d become a makeup artist pretty early.”

“When I finished high school, my family didn’t want me to continue my studies in the beauty industry because in our culture it’s considered taboo if a male works in this industry. So, at first, I got a master’s degree in economics, and only then did I follow my dream and started working as a makeup artist.”

“When I meet my client, the first question I ask is what kind of occasion are they getting their makeup done for. I also ask my clients if they have any specific requests. For example, if they want a natural or dramatic look. Then I ask them [to show me] the dress that they are going to wear. The design of the dress and its details reveal the style of the look the client is going for. Then, I analyze their facial features.”

“We serve more than one thousand brides in a year. The summer, in particular, is a very demanding season for wedding makeup. During this period, my team and I serve as many as 60 or more clients daily.”

“Makeup is like jewelry for the face,” Arber said to everyone experimenting with makeup. “Play with colors and shapes. Don’t be afraid to transform yourself. At the end of the day, you can just clean it.”

Am I the only one who thinks this is really overdone? They look like different people. I understand doing a little extra makeup on your wedding day but good grief....
Biljana Malesevic 5 years ago
I am not sure I like this. They were just as pretty before, maybe they needed just a little make-up to look more radiant and fresh, and not a cartoonish amount that makes them look like Bratz dolls. Problem is how is it still in this society totally acceptable for man (groom) to be totally natural and fresh, but bride has to be painted over a look like a cartoon? Sorry but I totally find them beautiful without make-up. Sure, women like to make up a little but this is too much. They look like different persons.
Rosie Hamilton 5 years ago
It's also not just make up. Some of them have slightly different shapes to various parts of their faces - that isn't just make up. Photoshop. One has a dip on on the bridge on her nose that isn't there in the 'after' photo. Lines on the neck don't disappear with make up. They look plastic. All lovely anyway.

Wow, why does Nia Loves Art 's comment have so many downvotes? It's certainly not insulting, it's merely an observation. Are the downvoters saying that this IS 'natural' beauty? I'd say in every single case, that term would describe the 'before' pictures. Some makeup wizardry can definitely improve on nature. These after pix are NOT that - they are horribly fake looking with troweled-on layers of makeup...anyone seen Sailor J's Contouring 101 video on youtube?

Wasn't keen on the "after" shots. Way too much Kardashian style bad contouring on some, along with overdone lips. All looked vaguely alike and artificial.

The contouring is heavy, but I wouldn't call it bad. It is well blended at least. It does look rather fake though, especially with the photoshop.

They all look like creepy dolls that were made in factories that fit every beauty stereotype to an over-the-top max, being built in order for little girls to learn those stereotypes from an unhealthily young age, like barbie dolls currently do. In other words, they look creepily unnatural, and they were naturally beautiful before like this post showed them in this disgustingly creepy, barbie-doll fake way. We are all beautiful, and people who tell us we aren't are jealous of us, or just want to make a buck selling makeup.

In my opinion 100% of these girls were prettier in the before- picture. In the after- picture it looks a bit like transvestites. Nothing against them, but at a wedding brides usually want to be female and pretty

Exactly - use something heavy in a natural tone to cover the skin problems , then just emphasize and define features - a tiny bit of blush and contour if needed. So it looks like you - glowing on a perfect-skin day.

What's the point of looking like an entirely different for your wedding? Everyone else in the comments has pretty much covered my complaints as well, but overall it's just that that is WAY too much make-up. I feel like a good make-up artist should be someone who can do less with more and highlight someone's beauty and add a bit of style without looking totally unnatural. Pretty much anyone with a basic knowledge of make-up can stumble into this style by trying basically bit of make-up they were given.
Ilaria Della Casa 5 years ago
I don't like that much makeup on brides, they are wearing more makeup than my favorite queens on Rupaul's Drag Race. The artist is skilled and eveything but I personally think that "less is more" when it comes to makeup and especially bridal makeup. I even like myself better with lighter makeup because that way you are no longer recognizable.

As a makeup artist + photographer, I can assure you these afters are heavily edited on junk iPhone software. I'm so tired seeing these filters used over and over on makeup looks. I'd love to see what the afters look like minus so much editing! It actually downplays their work. :(

Might I add, it's actually kind of rude to post unedited versions with no makeup looking their worst. It only makes the person you've done makeup on feel like c**p about themselves. I don't even do before and afters anymore for that reason alone.

Helloooo~ A lot of these comments are super negative, criticizing these women for being "fake," but I get it- it IS overdone. But, all the women look super thrilled! I mean, it's their WEDDING!! Isn't their happiness all that matters? It's okay to get dolled up every once in a while and to experience the way makeup can transform you, even just for a day, it's nice to feel *extra* beautiful (not to say they weren't before) :D I would totally love to try this for just one day. Sure, they look like dolls, but still- to them the makeup makes them feel especially beautiful on their special day. I know a lot of you down there are all "Natural is more beautiful" And yes, natural is beautiful. They are all naturally pretty! You're trying to go against the whole "Don't judge women for not wearing makeup" Please continue to do that, it minimizes mean comments on looks (which I hope is the goal), but then ridiculing women for wearing too much makeup just adds to the hate, going against your goal.

Also unless there was makeup done on the chest area for most of them then there is a good amount of photoshop too. So hard to trust the makeup is all the makeup artists work and not the photoshop artists.

I can't believe so many people are leaving rude comments. These women are getting married, for many, it's the most important day of their life. Who cares if they look completely different? They all look model-like after the makeup which probably makes them feel like the queen of the world. which they should, it's their wedding day. If they didn't want to look "over the top" or "natural" then they wouldn't have paid the money to get their makeup PROFESSIONALLy done. Gorgeous! They have the rest of their life to be natural. Let them have their day.

I'm all for less is more and looking natural..... But....... These are bridal pictures. The dress is over the top (normally one one way or another, especially compared to anything they would usually wear) the decor is over the top, no reason they makeup shouldn't be as well. Especially considering most of these women are about to spend thousands on pictures. More makeup works in photo and video. Most brides also want to look like a fairy tales princess. Kudos to this artist for delivering on that dream. If you don't like it, don't wear as much makeup on your wedding day. Point. blank. period. These ladies chose to, this artist is obviously very skilled and gifted at their craft, and the results speak to both the artist skill and the beautiful brides. Congratulations to all involved.

It's also ok for the bride-to-be to present a more natural look if that is what they like. It's a personal opinion, and no one else's thoughts should matter.

I wish more girls would wear a little lighter makeup, the point of makeup is to accentuate a girl's most beautiful features and maybe draw attention away from their less desired ones. These days girls wear so much makeup that they don't even look like themselves, and it can often get to the point of drag queen style. Nothing against drag queens, it's just not the best wedding or everyday look.

I'm all for a bride going all out for her wedding day, but these aren't just makeovers--these are photoshopped. Photoshopping away their natural facial shapes and bumps and pores and freckles and then calling it all 'make-up' is pathetic at best. Several of the women have bumps on their faces that make-up alone could not completely hide, yet are completely gone in the after photos. Noses, cheeks and cheekbones, and neck lines have been altered in ways that angle or the turn of the head alone can't explain. THESE are the kinds of unnecessary alterations I can't stand on women--without the heavy photoshopping these ladies would all look perfect after as they do before.

It looks to me like most of these women have dark circles under their eyes....maybe if they focused a little more on starting a wonderful life with their significant other who loves them for themselves, flaws and all, rather than trying to make everything extravagant and 'perfect' they would start the marriage with a little less stress. I mean if my groom came to the alter with a fake beard (as opposed to fake eyelashes) and a role of socks in his pants I would be floored...in a bad way.

Lighting also helps as clearly shown in the BEFORE and AFTER photos. They made a point to have direct, harsh lighting on the before photos and softer, indirect lighting on the after photos. Tricks of the trade.

They have personality without makeup, look like persons it would be interesting to learn to know. The personality are hidden by the makeup, nothing that attracts attention, except maybe the eyes, that mostly showed life. The lips that really tell much about people and their personality was hidden fully, boringly uninteresting.

They all look the exact same. The makeup is identical on each girl, there's no originality to bring out any features specifically for any of the girls. Honestly they all look like over made up cheap beauty queens in my opinion. You don't have to go natural, but you also don't have to go jersey shore on your wedding either.

I understand wanting to look your best for such a special day, but this is way too much make-up. They all look the same and nothing like the before pictures. Wedding make-up is supposed to be light and as natural-looking as possible, with a slight accent on the eyes and lips for better photos. I mean you're supposed to look like yourself on your own wedding day?

Ok, as a male (and I'm almost certain that I'm a minority here) I think that a girl should look like the girl that the boy fell in love with in the first place, on their wedding day. That having been said, I, personally, think that the before pictures look far more beautiful, and also rather sad, as you can see it in some of their eyes that they, themselves, don't see the beauty in them without a paint job. I plan on marrying my girlfriend soon, and when we get married, I wouldn't care if she had zero makeup, a scratch on her cheek from her psychotic cat, a coffee stain on her scrubs top (that she was adorably embarrassed about), dark rings under her eyes from pulling a double on nightshift as an RN in the drug capital of America, immediately after grinding out 4 papers for school to work towards getting her master's in nurse leadership. In fact, I would prefer she look like that, because that's exactly how she looked when I fell in love with her. Judge away internet. Bring the pain

I worked in nightclubs through the 80s-90s and we hosted fashion shoots and wedding receptions galore. The most radiant brides still looked like themselves, just enhanced.

They all have the same look, took away their personality. I am a makeup wearer and I have been known to go all out on the eye makeup but it is all that Instagram style of super heavy makeup that is already out of style.

Just not my style of makeup but it seems to be theirs and it is well done.

They need to change the caption to reflect the Photoshop used in the final photo. How do I know? Because of photographed enough wedding photo shoots, and I recognize the "Skin Smooth" action when I see it. The makeup is amazing, however, and they all look beautiful. But these were clearly photoshopped by the photographer to enhance. I do it myself as well.

There are so many amaziong things you can do with make-up. Not sure why all these girls chose to look like mail-order brides and have the same ludicrous fake lashes.

I personally don't think you should look different on your wedding day. These make ups don't "accentuate" their faces, they make a different face. And I'm speaking out of experience: for my prom I had professional makeup, and I told just a little too late to stop. So I don't really like to look at my prom pictures, because I don't look like me-I'm not beautiful,I am someone else.

The wedding make-up is certainly over-dramatic. Make-up for those who want it, go for it. But do you do a trial for these brides to ask "Is this how you want your make-up done for your wedding?"

I am not sure I like this. They were just as pretty before, maybe they needed just a little make-up to look more radiant and fresh, and not a cartoonish amount that makes them look like Bratz dolls.

Sorry but I totally find them beautiful without make-up. Sure, women like to make up a little but this is too much. They look like different persons.

It's also not just make up. Some of them have slightly different shapes to various parts of their faces - that isn't just make up. Photoshop. One has a dip on on the bridge on her nose that isn't there in the 'after' photo. Lines on the neck don't disappear with make up. They look plastic. All lovely anyway.

What's the point of looking like an entirely different for your wedding? Everyone else in the comments has pretty much covered my complaints as well, but overall it's just that that is WAY too much make-up. I feel like a good make-up artist should be someone who can do less with more and highlight someone's beauty and add a bit of style without looking totally unnatural. Pretty much anyone with a basic knowledge of make-up can stumble into this style by trying basically bit of make-up they were given.

photos have been photoshopped along with make up. which can change appearance but the jawline and nose cant be changed that much without cosmetic procedures. now if these women also used fillers to carve their noses and change cheek bones... they could look like that. but im certain photoshop also played a role in the enhancement

I think if the bride to be loves the look, then it's totally worth it. What better day to go all out than on your wedding day. You have an amazing dress, so it's time to play the princess! I personally love putting on make-up and enhancing my own features when it's a special occasion, or even if I just feel like it. It's also ok for the bride-to-be to present a more natural look if that is what they like. It's a personal opinion, and no one else's thoughts should matter.

But each face looks like it has layers upon layers troweled on, instead of artfully blended. A wedding isn't a photo shoot, it's a very active event! That stuff is going to run, or crack, or something.

Makeup doesn’t have to be like this. It’s far more common to use it just to cover up areas a woman might be insecure about (like acne or dark circles) and sometimes to emphasize features a woman likes such as her eyes or lips,

I wish more girls would wear a little lighter makeup, the point of makeup is to accentuate a girl's most beautiful features and maybe draw attention away from their less desired ones. These days girls wear so much makeup that they don't even look like themselves, and it can often get to the point of drag queen style. Nothing against drag queens, it's just not the best wedding or everyday look.

I'm all for a bride going all out for her wedding day, but these aren't just makeovers--these are photoshopped. Photoshopping away their natural facial shapes and bumps and pores and freckles and then calling it all 'make-up' is pathetic at best. Several of the women have bumps on their faces that make-up alone could not completely hide, yet are completely gone in the after photos. Noses, cheeks and cheekbones, and neck lines have been altered in ways that angle or the turn of the head alone can't explain. THESE are the kinds of unnecessary alterations I can't stand on women--without the heavy photoshopping these ladies would all look perfect after as they do before.

I have nothing against bright makeup, or even looking like a completely different person once for a while. What I really dislike about these photos is that you need to look really closely to realise that they are all different people. This makeup made them look virtually identical: same gigantic shimmering eyes, unnaturally smooth plastic doll-like skin with an unbelievable amount of highlighter. There is no individuality in these looks - they are like mindless copies of one another.

It looks to me like most of these women have dark circles under their eyes....maybe if they focused a little more on starting a wonderful life with their significant other who loves them for themselves, flaws and all, rather than trying to make everything extravagant and 'perfect' they would start the marriage with a little less stress. I mean if my groom came to the alter with a fake beard (as opposed to fake eyelashes) and a role of socks in his pants I would be floored...in a bad way.

Not only is this overdone, they photographs are doctored. Both the exaggerate the skin blemishes etc on the left-side but also to create false color on the right.

Ok, as a male (and I'm almost certain that I'm a minority here) I think that a girl should look like the girl that the boy fell in love with in the first place, on their wedding day. That having been said, I, personally, think that the before pictures look far more beautiful, and also rather sad, as you can see it in some of their eyes that they, themselves, don't see the beauty in them without a paint job. I plan on marrying my girlfriend soon, and when we get married, I wouldn't care if she had zero makeup, a scratch on her cheek from her psychotic cat, a coffee stain on her scrubs top (that she was adorably embarrassed about), dark rings under her eyes from pulling a double on nightshift as an RN in the drug capital of America, immediately after grinding out 4 papers for school to work towards getting her master's in nurse leadership. In fact, I would prefer she look like that, because that's exactly how she looked when I fell in love with her. Judge away internet. Bring the pain
