What is a veil?

To determine the meaning of the word veil, turn to the dictionary. So, a veil (from a French voile - a veil, a veil) - a headdress, which allows you to completely or partially cover your face. The materials used to make the veil are often thin and transparent, and lace and mesh are also used. In ancient times, people knew well what a veil was and carried it to denote class or religious status. In today's world, women use a veil as an ornament for a hat or hairstyle.

Very often in feature films you can meet heroines dressing a black veil for funeral ceremonies. But, if you take a good look at the stars of modern times, you can notice that this accessory is often a supplement to any image and at secular events. In recent years, the veil cap is part of the collections of famous designers and remains the detail that emphasizes the elegance of the image and gives it a special retro chic.


Wedding veil

For any girl, a wedding is not just a word, it's an event to which it is prepared almost from childhood. If you are romantic and subtle, the white veil is exactly what you need. When choosing a wedding veil, you need to consider two main factors - the shape of the dress and hairstyle. If you decide to emphasize the dress, choosing a lush and multi-layered model, it will be appropriate to choose a more modest veil, with no extra details, embroidery, ornaments and feathers. But if you prefer a more modest and elegant dress, you can safely be allowed to put on an expensive veil decorated with feathers, voluminous flowers, beads and pearls. This applies to hairstyles. If your hair is voluminous and high, then refrain from bulky veils, and if the hair is smooth or you have short hair, then you can emphasize the wedding image with a smart veil with many decorative elements or a stylish rim with a veil.

But take as a rule one important nuance: the veil for the face is both a hiding and underscoring skin imperfections. Creating the image of "lady in a hat with a veil", pay special attention to the tone of the skin, leveling it with the help of decorative cosmetics, and gently apply blush and lipstick. After all, it is the veil, on the one hand, that protects your face from penetrating looks, and on the other, attracts these looks to an unusual, elegant, stylish and spectacular image. And choosing this one, you must carry it with your head held high!
