Ariana Grande's recent wedding to Dalton Gomez might have seemed out of the blue to her fans, but when it came to her wedding beauty look, she definitely stayed the course—no surprises there. To complement her strapless, Vera Wang column gown, Grande's signature ponytail was front and centre—her hairstylist Josh Liu created a smooth, middle-parted ponytail with layers of long wavy strands down under, creating the perfect base for a veil with a white bow on top. Makeup artist Ash K Holm kept her makeup super matte and minimal, maintaining Grande's go-to winged liner and balancing it out with a matte mauve-nude lipstick and a strong contour to-die-for.

- Guarantee a flawless canvas by smoothing on a fast-absorbing moisturiser. Go in with a mattifying product such as the NYX Professional Makeup Can't Stop Won't Stop Matte Primer after, focusing on the hairline, sides of nose, forehead and around the mouth.
- Buff in a foundation like the Maybelline New York Matte Dream Mousse. Start in the centre of the face, on the apples of the cheeks, and slowly blend out. Press on a concealer onto the areas that need it most, like to cover up any redness or blemishes. Sweep on a featherweight translucent powder to seal it all in.
- To add dimension, reach for a darker shade of concealer. Place it along the hollows of your cheekbones and then diffuse the pigment with a damp beauty sponge. Then, blend the product along your jawline on both sides of your face, and blend it out. Dab on a liquid or cream highlighter like the Chanel Baume Essentielle onto the very tops of the cheekbones and down the nose.
- With three shades of soft brown, apply the lightest shade beneath the brow bone to serve as a highlight. Then, apply the same shade all over the lid. Next, take a medium brown shade and blend it upwards to pull it out and create wider eyes.
- For the thinnest, most precise cat-eye line possible, place the tip of a liquid eyeliner like the Kiro Liquid Pen Eyeliner on the lash line at the pupil, then draw to the outer corner and pull it upwards just a tad bit. Place on a very natural set of false lashes and apply mascara to tie it all together.
- Use a lip liner to draw in the shape of your lips. Then, fill it in with a matte lipstick like L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Satin Lipstick in Mauved. To make it last all day, place a thin layer of tissue on your lips, and then apply translucent powder on top to set it.
