Amid a lot of rituals and customs they celebrate their marriage festivals. Hindu wedding is also a deeply colourful affair and make-up is a must during the day of wedding.

Unlike the past when friends and relatives used to help the bride in make-up and dress-up in the wedding, today professionals take care all parts of Indian bridal make-up. During the day of wedding every bridal makeover is conducted either at the bride's home, or at beauty parlour. Each makeover includes cleansing, moisturizing, foundation to powder; blush, eyes, and lips.

 After cleaning the bride's face light moisturizer is applied for smoothing her skin. Afterwards, to put spot on the skin out of sight, a concealer of a light colour shadow is selected for the areas of the face around the eyes and nose. Then it is gently applied and blended all over the face and under the neck for an oil-free foundation to make it last throughout a long day.

Considering the skin quality of the bride the accurate foundation shade to match with skin colour is given. After applying the concealer, pancake and foundation on the face and neck, the eyeliner, mascara and eye shadow are used. Then, to hide the shine of the makeup, compact powder is applied.

Prior to filling lips with lipstick lips are drawn round using a lip liner. The best colours for lipsticks are maroons and browns for the darkish skin colour of the Indian bride. A good quality lipstick is selected for its lasting matching with the bride's dress.

For the makeover of the eyes glitters over the eyebrows are used to give a glowing look of the bride. A thin line of white eyeliner on the eyelid is used to highlight the eyes. Black mascara is used to highlight the bride's lashes. Eyebrows are brushed out to have a thorough look. Proper makeup is also applied to the forehead, nose and chin.

Do's and dont's

A good skin is pre-condition for makeup or face-paint. And for a good skin it is important to take care of some things before going for make-up on the marriage occasion. Bridal make-up should be such that it looks beautiful and sober and not overcooked. The following things should be considered for that before the bridal makeover on the wedding day.

1. Take around eight to 10-glass of water daily as it will keep you hydrated and wash out the toxins from the body, which will be good for getting a  bright skin.

2. Shun food that could make your skin oily and try to keep away from spicy, deep fried and junk food. Avoid red meat, alcohol, and caffeine for the betterment of your skin.

3. The day before your wedding go to a professional beautician for an eyebrow shaping before the wedding day as good shaped eyebrow frame the eyes.

4. The night before your wedding remove all make-up. To avoid dry lips use lip moisturizer or vaseline on your lips.

5. Prior to start your makeup on the wedding day your face should be properly washed and clean.

Besides, having a trial session before the wedding day make-up is also good in wedding make-up. This is because of the trial the makeup artist can learn about the bride's facial features, skin, hair, outfit and preferences. And it enables her to decide the complete makeup & hair style for the wedding day.

Concluding remarks

Appropriate makeup matching the skin tone really makes someone attractive.  The bridal makeover is simply to enhance her prettiness. That's why makeup has to be done matching the bride's hairstyle and dress to make her simple and elegant. Moreover, a bride's confidence and personality shows naturally on her appearance, which most importantly goes with a bride's make-up.
