For many brides-to-be the hair and make-up is almost as an integral a part of the wedding prep as choosing the dress. Almost. Whether you decide to go all out with A-list red lips and full-on smoky eyes or barely-there natural is more your bag, for many women make-up is a marriage must. And brave is the bride who goes completely bare-faced on her big day.
Which is perhaps why this snap of bride Bisola Umoren, from Lagos, Nigeria is causing such a stir online. Because Bisola opted to shun make-up entirely for her wedding earlier this month. And boy did she rock it.
Speaking to Nigerian news outlet, Naij of her decision to go bare-faced Bisola explained simply that she’s “just not the make up type.”
“When my husband first met me, I had not had my bath, but he saw and fell in love with my natural look,” she said.
“I’m not the make-up type. I don’t even wear earrings or drop my hair. I don’t like any form of inconvenience or discomfort on my face, my neck and entire body,” she continued. “It is not a church thing, it is just me and my personal decision.”
