Indian Bridal Make up Tips and Application

A bride should be beautiful and not overdone. It is love that makes her beautiful and not the makeup artist. She's the star and has to look like a dream, her face translucent, soft and glowing. .Never forget that a compact powder and lipstick must always be carried by a relative for a quick touch up

A day before the wedding the palm and feet of the bride are decorated with "henna", in the mehandi ceremony. A canopy or mandapa decorated with flowers is erected at the place of wedding. On the wedding day the bride and groom are anointed with turmeric in their respective homes.

Apply translucent powder with a pinkish undertone and spread evenly all over the face to obtain a matte effect, paying careful attention to the forehead, nose and chin. Check the front and profile of your face, as they are equally important.

The eyes are always very important, as they are a reflection of the soul. They are the focus of the face. Use a brown eyeshadow for softness and white makeup to lift. Apply a dark tone at the outer corner of the eyes and blend with white to make grey. White and black make-up is the safest to use, as almost anyone can carry it off.

Always concentrate on the mouth, before the cheeks to give the intensity of the face. Use a contour lipstick to define the lips in the same harmony as the lipstick. Use a long lasting product and color lip in full.
