Usually bridal makeup is heavy as the girls want to look special, but less is more and keep it minimal.

It's a good idea for a bride to start taking care of her skin and hair a couple of months before the wedding day. With a glowing skin, the job gets much easier for a makeup artist to achieve a flawless base.

The makeup starts with primer to smoothen out the skin. After that, comes foundation.

Get the base right. Most of us want to look fairer than what we already are, which is a very bad idea as you end up looking made up. Even the pictures come out very badly. So make sure the base is applied and blended very well and matches skin tone.

Many brides go for glitter on their eyes along with heavy eye makeup. It's a complete bad idea.

"It's important to do up the eyes really well. But make sure not to use too many colours or too much glitter as it looks tacky.

Use highlighter under the brow bone.

Use eyeliner to make the eyes stand out. Eye lashes are also a good option, but it's very important to use natural lashes with real hair.

For the cheeks,coral colour looks better. as it blends well with Indian skin tone.

While doing lip makeup, apply lip liner before lipstick.

But make sure the lip line doesn't look different from the lipstick. Avoid using a gloss as it ends up bleeding and smudging the lipstick. Once the makeup is done, spray a makeup fix on the face to make it stay longer and fresh.
