DEWY LOOK

Few years back there was a tradition of not wearing any makeup on bridal functions so that the bride looks completely different on her big day. Apparently in this era of H-D camera it’s nearly impossible for any girl to sit under the camera lightings without any makeup on.

One major important tip is to go for a fresh, dewy and soft makeup look that looks radiant both in person and on camera.

Tip: before starting with your makeup base-

1. a) Do cleansing, toning and moisturizing. It will remove all the dead skin layer of your face and give it a fresh look.
2. b) USE ANY SKIN ESSENTIAL OIL BEFORE APPLYING YOUR FOUNDATION:

 This step will give you that perfect dewy finish that will make you glow from within. Specifically use an essential oil according to your skin type for example; tea tree oil if you are an acne prone skin or any normal lavender or rose gold oil if you are normal to combination skin type.

GO MINIMAL WITH YOUR EYE-LOOK

Apparently mehendi ceremony is all decked up with colours but your makeup should be entirely neutral to compliment the beautiful colors of your outfit. Eye makeup is that one important feature that can definitely change your entire look. Play with all the nude shades in your eye shadow palette and create some magic. One major tip is:

1. a) Use tints and hues of browns to define your crease and make it very prominent.
2. b) Use a neutral shade on your eyelid and apply a hint of colour that goes well with your outfit to give your eye makeup a ‘POP’ of colour. Trust me swear I by this technique and it will look extremely beautiful. Avoid using any glitter on your eyelid to give your look a touch of simplicity.

USE THE RIGHT SHADE OF BLUSH

It’s very important to choose the right shade of blush since the entire mehendi makeup look is going to be natural and dewy. The most important tip to choose the right shade of blush is according to your skin tone. If you are fair to medium skin tone peach blush is going to be your perfect shade. Pink shade will be the perfect shade if you are medium to dark skin tone. The right technique to apply blush is start from your cheekbone and move close to the end of your eyelashes. Trust me choosing and applying the right shade of blush can transform your entire look.

SIMPLE LOOK WITH PINK LIPS

Nearly most of the time for your mehendi ceremony you might think of wearing a dark or heavy lip colour on your lips since your entire makeup will be really subtle. But a natural makeup with a light shade of pink, peach or nude shade is the latest style of many brides. It looks royal and most importantly it does not steal your charm of being natural with your entire look.

CONTOURING

Your entire mehendi look will remain incomplete without structuring your face properly. Contouring should be soft and accurate. One major tip to share especially for mehendi look is “use powder contouring and replace your cream contour when it comes to pre-wedding ceremonies”. Since pre-bridal functions are all meant to be chilled out and so should be your makeup.
