There is nothing more nerve wrecking for a bride than deciding on her bridal makeup and outfit.
Brides today want to experiment from bold smokey eyes to fuller lips to natural bridal looks.
One cannot deny how makeup and hairstyling can make or break your wedding day look. For what is probably the most photographed moment of your life, it is important to look perfect and complement your wedding trousseau. While some like it traditional some like contemporary, some like it heavy while some like very subtle. Here are some bridal looks to complement every wedding outfit.
TRADITIONAL LOOK
� When wearing a traditional outfit in shades of red, usually with gold work, opt for a subtle look in makeup. Shimmery gold smokey eyes are the best choice with little hint of subtle rose shimmer either on the crease or outer edges.
� Define your eyes with extended eyeliner to complete the traditional look and lots of kohl smudged softly to accentuate the Indian eyes further. Use false lashes if you do not have very long and voluminous lashes.
� Define your cheeks and jaw line with a matte bronzer to lift your bone structure. Add a hint of blush to the apple of your cheeks and start defining your lips with a red lip pencil.
� One might want to accentuate the lip shape by marginally outdrawing to the original lip shape. In case of naturally fuller lips, one can avoid outdrawing. Fill in with a matte red lipstick; ensure the lip liner and lip colour are similar tones of red and are blended well to avoid colour distinction.
� Finish your makeup by dusting soft gold illuminator to the high point of the cheeks and centre of the face. This further defines your features by accentuating the high cheek bones, and highlighting the centre of the face makes your face look longer and slimmer.
� Place your teeka before making the front of your hair style. This ensures firm placement for it to not move during the course of the event. Depending on face shape, one can choose from centre parts, side parts, and bouffant back for a neat front of the hairstyle which adds to the traditional look. One might want to use a teeka, mathapatti, borla or paasa/jhumar depending on the traditional Rajasthani, Rajput or Hindu look.
ALL ABOUT EYES
� Play with your best feature - eyes. Remember to highlight the eyes as it is one of the best features and expressive eyes can bring out the personality.
� Match the colour of your eye shadow to your outfit or go for a complete contrast. Bright eye shadows in fuchsia, blue, mint greens, teal, bronze, shimmery warm gold or contrasting grey / black smokey eyes go best with a pastel outfit. Going with contrasting colours to your outfit helps break the monotony of colours or simply elevate the overall look.
� For those who love makeup or are willing to experiment with looks on their wedding functions, surprise everyone with an unconventional modern day bridal look. Make it stand out for they will remember you for your exclusivity.
� For added drama, add false eye lashes to the look; they further enhance the eye makeup. Do not ever forget to fill in and groom your eyebrows as they are an essential part of your eye makeup too.
� Go for a satiny finish skin for the look, stay away from too much shine. Sculpted cheek bones using cream contour or matte bronzer is the right away to lift those cheekbones and accentuate the jaw line.
� Hint of blush and soft pink, coral or de lips with a gloss is just the way to finish this glamorous look.
� Opt for hairstyles like messy bun, braided fronts, twisties, or curly with messy long braided accessories and strands of delicate small fresh flowers. However, one can also avoid accessorizing with flowers to maintain the glamour to the look.
BEAUTIFUL DEWY SKIN
� If you are not much of a colour person when it comes to picking eye shadows, stick to neutral shadows. There are no typical rules to have a certain kind of finish to the eyes, eye shadows, and skin.
� One can opt for matte dewy eyeshades, usually in cream form to have a non creasy creamy look to it or well contoured eyes with a pastel eye shadow tone to go with the same.
� Definition becomes important when working with soft tones or pastels. Accentuate the eyes with a thin eye liner slightly flicked on
the outer corners. Use of brown eye shadow to smudge the eye kohl or opting for black or brown eye kohl on the waterline as per preference. By this I do not mean nude shades but shades that complement your skin tone.
� Shades of gold, bronze, plum are some favourites for Indian skin tone when picking neutrals. Opt for a well sculpted but blended cheekbones and a dewy finish skin. Use of loose pigments that have sheen to it, also called illuminators or using cream based blush or illuminators is a good way to achieve this look. Use cream based product in a comfortable airconditioned or cool environment. It is a heads up for winters specially!
� One can add false eye shadows to give natural look and accentuate the eyes. Opt for soft pinks, nudes or corals lip tints to finish this look.
� A mineral foundation or gel/ cream based foundation also gives you that finish. In this look, one should opt for bright lips matching the colour of the outfit.
� To compliment with the makeup look, opt for hairstyles with soft fronts, either curled up to leave some loose strands or create interesting texturing by curling and placing those strands. Messy buns, side braids, twisties, half tie curls, bouncy blow dried hair and beachy waves are some other options.
� Go ahead, prepare to wow your guests with these ultimate bridal tips to look and feel good on your special day. Make sure your bridal look is right but remember to put a wide smile on your face to best complement any beautiful bridal look.
