Your bridal makeup is the final step in achieving your ideal wedding look. It is crucial in tying everything together. While we’re sure you’ve already accumulated many unique makeup inspirations on your mood board, it’s also essential to occasionally return to the classics. 

Consider all your stereotypes about the stereotypical Indian bride–but don’t discard them. Accept the clichés and let your cosmetic artist recreate them for you! That is the essence of the modern bride. Bringing the classic back and reimagining it in their image. Similarly, Indian bridal makeup has evolved significantly from the traditional liner and red lips recipe.

It’s been a joy to observe this transformation. Today, there is no such thing as right or wrong; only the look that works best for you. While it may be tempting to jump on the trend bandwagon regarding bridal makeup, it’s best to stick to something that enhances your features rather than changing your appearance.

Bold & Traditional Bridal Makeup Looks

1. Bright Eyes For The Fearless Bride

Trying out new hues, glitters, and eyeliner trends is never a bad idea (floating eyeliner and feather brows, anyone?). Every bride can pull off a flawless, bright-eye makeup look. Furthermore, for the ‘pandemic bride,’ these bright eye makeup looks are ideal for wearing over a face mask. Here are a few of our favourites!

2. Eye-Catching Lip Shades

It’s always enjoyable to experiment with different lipstick shades. Your bright or dark lipstick is one of the aspects that makes you look bold and appealing. Whether you choose red, pink, or plum lipstick, it will make you appear attractive and provide confidence and warmth to your face. From cult faves like deep reds to eccentric glitter flips and enticing purples, Indian brides have repeatedly proven that there isn’t a single hue they can’t pull off. 

3. Blushed & Bronzed Like A Goddess

No matter how hard we try to avoid the ‘no makeup look,’ there’s no disputing that a smattering of blush and bronzer adds a much-needed ‘oomph’ factor to a bride’s look. MUAs worldwide are obsessed with adding blush and bronzer into bridal makeup designs. They shape your cheekbones and give your skin a lovely blush. 

4. For Those That Love That Glow

When it comes to bridal makeup, the proper amount of highlighter is critical. You don’t want to put so much that it blinds everyone, but you also don’t want to put so tiny that it goes ignored. Glowing makeup looks necessitate highlights at various application stages to get a natural-looking glow from within look. They also go well with softer pink, nude, and mauve lipstick colours. 

5. Fanned-Out Eyelashes For Expressive Eyes

Mascara is lovely, but artificial eyelashes are all the rage in high-end bridal makeup. While everyone’s lash needs and preferences vary, some lashes are superior to others, especially when looking good on your wedding day and staying put all night. And our particular preference is a lovely, fanned gaze, which makes your eyes even more expressive!

Final Words

We’re head over heels for a traditional bridal beauty look, whether it’s increased eye makeup, bronzed cheekbones, or dramatic red lips. Trends come and go, but the classical look will always be considered timeless.
