Indian Bridal Makeup Ideas

Here are some excellent tips for your wedding make-up. Most brides will get a make-up artist to do their make-up for them. But it is still important that you, as the bride, know what make-up style would suit you. Make an effort to try different looks on your own, so that you become aware of what make-up looks good on you. Not all make-up artists are the same - there are many who repeat the same style on brides of different skin tone and facial structures - the result is not very pretty.

Here are some great Indian Make-up Styles for you to keep in mind.

Blush:

Become a truly blushing bride by choosing a warm flattering cheek color in a pinkie peach or rose or, if you tend to get flushed, a brownish tone. Experiment and find the blush color that suits your skin tone. Use a powder based blush, they will usually last longer than cream blushers. To apply blush, start at the hairline by the middle of your ear, blend forward to the front of the cheek, and then back to the hairline and upwards. For a perfect application find a blush brush that is the size of the apple of your cheek. After the initial application dust the blush with some loose powder and then apply a touch more blush to the front of the cheek.

Lipstick or Lip Gloss:

You will be doing a lot of kissing on your wedding day so you will need a lip color that will last. Use a matte or long-wearing lipstick or lip gloss because you don't want to be constantly touching up your makeup during the day.

Be sure to use a color that complements your hair and eye color and use a lip liner in the same color family as your lipstick or lip gloss. Don’t use a lip liner much darker than your lipstick or lip gloss. This technique looks harsh and very unnatural in pictures. Purchase the lipstick or lip gloss and lip liner to keep in your purse for the whole day.

Wedding makeup tip: Smallish lips

If your lips are naturally small the lighter the lip colour the fuller the lips will seem.

Wedding makeup tip: Eyebrows

Properly groomed and shaped eyebrows help enhance and add expression to the face. Have your eyebrows groomed but do this a week before the wedding in case you get a few red bumps after plucking or waxing. Fill in your eyebrows, if needed, with an eyebrow pencil shade that's slightly lighter than your eyebrows. Brush through with an eyebrow brush or a clean toothbrush for a more natural look.

Mascara:

For extra lush looking eyelashes use an eyelash curler before applying your mascara. Prepare for those tears of happiness by using a good waterproof mascara. Apply two coats, let the first coat dry before applying the second coat.

When you purchase your waterproof mascara make sure that you have an eye makeup remover that also takes off waterproof mascara.

Finishing Touches:

When you have finished applying your makeup you may want to apply a little more blush, and then finish with a final brush of loose powder.
