Indian Bridal Make-Up and Jewellery Trends for Weddings
Make-up and Jewellery have to be in sync for the complete Bridal look. Perfectly match your makeup look this wedding season with your attire and your trendy clutch bag for weddings. Here we will tell you how to do it.
When you think of the usual Indian bridal elements, heavy traditional make-up coupled with equally heavy jewellery may come to mind. However, in these modern times, a South-Asian bride is not as strictly bound to entirely adhere to the traditional norms. We live in a cosmopolitan world today, and bridal choices are increasingly dictated by personality and individuality. Gone are the days of standard liner and red lips formula. South-Asian bridal preferences have evolved and are now more bespoke.
There has been a slow but steady shift in the world of South Asian bridal make-up, and natural glam has become en vogue. The last couple of years saw brides gradually moving away from Kardashian style contour, in-your-face highlighter, drawn-in brows, solid matte lips and super glittery eyeshadows. It appears that brides in 2021-22 will continue to express their natural beauty rather than concealing it.
Today, you are not bound by the expectation of conformity in bridal fashion, but there are certain traditional features that still shine through. One such feature is beautifying eyes to perfection. With naturally lovely eyes, South Asian women have a lot going for them, and they can make it more pronounced by either going for a smokey or a classic flicked eyeliner look. False eyelashes that complement the eye shape are also a helpful tool to have in the arena of South Asian bridal make-up.
We have compiled top trending wedding make-up looks for your inspiration this wedding season.
Importance of Wedding Day make-up
Wedding make-up is something that can make or break your entire look. When done professionally, it pulls your entire outfit ensemble together. Many women apply their everyday makeup with a great deal of mastery, but it is not in the same league as professional make-up, which is very different from what women do on a daily basis. Professional make-up artists are trained for things like contouring the face, accentuating your best features, perfecting your eye and lip shape. They are amazing at reshaping your face using brushes for shading and blending, much like an artist does on a canvas. They use top quality products, giving you perfect coverage that lasts the entire day. This is essential if you are to continue looking your best with minimal touch-ups throughout the day.
Make-up artists can have different areas of strength, so it’s important that you ensure your make-up artist compliments your wedding day attire and understands your aesthetic goals for your big day.
Wedding Jewellery with make-up
The combination of jewellery and make-up, when done right, is like a cherry on top of a lovely cake. The best way to choose colour combinations for your wedding make-up is to mix and match it with your dress, but to do so with intent, like drawing contrast with your jewellery. They should add to each other’s strengths and work well together. Let’s have a look at some of this winter’s top wedding make-up and jewellery ideas.
Trendy Jewellery and make-up Looks for the Season
Go Simple and Subtle with Soft Peaches
If you are someone who likes to keep everything simple and subtle, then go the elegant route for a bridal style that puts your persona on display. Go for blush pinks or peach shades to infuse freshness to your subtle bridal look. Top it off with a Kundan or Polki necklace with green, red or purple gemstones. Your look will radiate a graceful finesse on your big day!
Make a Statement with a Bold Lip
If your preference does not align with the classic red traditional bridal look, you have a range of other options. Go for a bold choice with dark eye make-up and couple it with dark lips or a light shade. Use traditional gold jewellery to amp the entire look!
The “No make-up” make-up Look
The philosophy of “less is more” comes through with this look. There is no shame in wanting less. In the case of make-up, it means a very clean and simple look with nude tones to contrast the colours of the South-Asian bride’s attire.
A “No make-up” look does not mean you have no make-up at all on the face. It’s more about going for make-up that has a strong and heavy foundation base along with light eyes and lips to best complement your wedding bridal outfit. This also gives you a chance to carry more heavy jewellery and accessories to create a bridal look with an essence of royalty. With no make-up, you can always experiment with different styles of jewellery, like American gold, Kundan or polki, as long as the gemstones complement your dress colours. In the end, you will get an ethereal look that will put your natural beauty front and centre.
