The right choice for your bridal makeup

A bride always remains to be the centre of attention at a wedding. From her hairstyle, jewel tones, and ensembles, to her makeup tones, everything should be dazzling and on point about her on the wedding day. Therefore, a bride should start hunting for the best makeup artist in town and should understand the colour tones and details that would best suit her undertone. From classic to bold, here are the 5 most popular Indian bridal makeup looks to try on the big day.

2/6

Traditional bridal makeup look

The classic Indian bridal makeup embraces the rich cultural heritage of India and mainly has bold and dramatic detailing bringing out the stunning features of the bride. With sharply defined eyes and dark kohl eyelids with a fine winged liner and neat smokey eye show. Keeping voluminous lashes, makeup artists usually opt for classic red lip colours with pink and maroon blush and a highlighted touch around the nose and cheekbones.

The South-Indian makeup note

To achieve a perfect complexion radiating a luminous glow on the wedding day, South Indian bridal makeup is all the rage. Having a golden natural base with delicate contouring and mauve blush touch, a touch of daring colours is used on the eyelids with beautiful golden or silver ends. With a stroke of fine eyeliner with beautiful kohl detailing and mascara touch, the brown lips make this makeup tone look elegant and effortless, and leave a lasting impression.

The royal touch

Taking inspiration from the ancient queens and mainly from the Mughal era, a royal bridal makeup look includes sharply defined eyes with a natural-looking base, matched with priceless jewellery touch. The eyes are mainly the centre of attraction and incorporate dark kohl, a stroke of eyeliner, false lashes, and a warm tone of eyeshadow that matches the gold and jewel tones, as well as looks graceful with the extravagant ensemble.

The no-makeup-makeup look

With many Bollywood celebrities opting for a no-makeup-makeup look on their D-Day, brides are now opting for such looks which exude an effortless yet fresh aura. With brushed eyebrows, a naturally glowing brush, simple kohl eyes with nude eyeshadow, and a heavy stroke of mascara, the no-makeup-makeup look calls for a natural-looking raw glowing makeup touch with nude or mild brown tones around the cheek tones, and a nude or mauve shade lipstick to go with.

The all-glam bridal look

Taking notes from Bollywood divas, the all-glam makeup mainly gives you a flawless and long-lasting finish with a stunning high-definition foundation base and an airbrush makeup finish that looks like a 3D painting. Using metallic tones, a smokey look, winged eyeliner, and a lot of drama, the all-glam bridal look is mainly done on the wedding and reception day by many North Indian brides. Adding stunning lashes and creating sculpted eyebrows, a touch of drama never hurts!
