BEAUTY COMES FROM WITHIN
Hiding your skin und er layers of foundation and dusting on shimmery powders is not the solution for a radiant look. A good skin care regime will combat any skin concerns. Get professional salon treatments, if possible and enjoy some time in a relaxing tranquil environment. Book your spa time in advance and start your facials, body, and hair treatments at least four to six months prior to the day of wedding. Our skin sometimes tends to breakout to get rid of impurities before it starts to get better.
This regime should not be ignored, especially if you have never had facials done before. Applying some eye drops like Visine with a Q-tip around the pimple, if you get any, is a quick remedy to reducing redness. A simple radiance-boosting facial is ideal for someone who opts for vibrant healthy skin. Oxygen rich nutrients are massaged into the skin, which boost the skin’s natural moisture and restore, revitalize, and rejuvenate tired skin.
Book a body detoxifying massage or wrap for dates close to the wedding as it will help to relive stress and reduce water retention. Try a Lymphatic Drainage massage, which is a type of body massage that gets the circulation going and results in making your skin look its best. These treatments are best done in a professional salon environment. To create your own at home spa for body bliss – pampering yourself with a mini manicure and pedicure every other day is a relaxing at home spa treatment. Just massage some cuticle oil and soak your hands and feet in lukewarm water, use a scrub to exfoliate, rinse, and apply a moisturizer.
TIMELESS LOOK
Before you follow, any trends follow your instincts. Your wedding day is all about you. Explore your style and create a timeless look around it. So what is your style – Natural, Romantic, or Glamorous?
NATURAL
Natural does not mean a no-makeup look. Natural is all about enhancing your features in a not so obvious color scheme. Flawless skin, alluring eyes, and glowing cheeks that are naturally blushing, all comes to mind when you think of natural. This is a makeup style that compliment your features, colors that enhance your skin tone, and style to make you look and feel your best in a timeless look. Keep the eyes soft with a simple, natural and neutral color palette. Emphasize elegance not bold hues.
ROMANTIC
A fairy tale inspired nuptial look is what you call a romantic style. Think of roses and trails, lace and chandeliers and combine these inspirations to add to your bridal look. Reds, clarets, and crimsons with a white backdrop come to one’s mind when creating a Cinderella inspired look of love. Romance, elegance, and sparkle are your style guidewords.
Luscious lips with Kohl lined eyes and false lashes are an ideal look. Romantic is a more traditional and conventional style, and certainly one that compliments the South Asian bridal look with ‘bindis’ and Kajol. Highlighted cheeks and traditionally contoured eyes with a coordinating hue of eye shadows.
GLAMOUROUS
Go glam and create a diva style inspired look with smoky eyes and full strip false lashes. Be bold and brightly contoured with a highlighted face and let yourself be the true center of attraction. Bridal beauty for a diva look is dramatic in a glamorous way. Your style is non-traditional so decide on a more trendy and chic makeup look. Smoky eyes do not translate into creating raccoon eyes.
Glam your eyes with misty well-blended bold colors next to the lash line and add shimmer to your brow bone. Be in the spotlight, but do not become one – avoid glitters and gems on lashes. Create a timeless look with a good mix of modern flair and alluring touch.
Professional Advice
Whatever style you choose to create your very own timeless look – be passionate about it. Focus on your overall look – not just your dress and accessories. Ignoring the importance of makeup, hair, skin care and eyebrow correction will not help to create the picture perfect look.
Avoid experiments with makeup on the day of your nuptials because this added stress has the potential to sabotage your special look with unlikeable beauty blunders. A basic color consultation with a professional makeup artist will help you accomplish the look of love. Consultations are important and are typically done at least a few months prior to the wedding date, with a makeup and hair artist. Bring your veil ‘chunni’ and jewellery for color selection, but more importantly to rehearse the setting with a hairstyle or up do.
Inspire your makeup artist with your own personal ideas and reference tear sheets of your favourite makeup and hairstyles, but also take into consideration the your professional’s advice. Bridal beauty trends change according to the seasons and fashions; therefore, make sure your style compliments you and your skin.
Dry, dehydrated, oily or acne prone skin all have their respective concerns when it comes to creating a flawless look. Talk to your professional makeup artist about any concerns regarding the products beforehand. Looking your best will happen if you feel your best. Relax and enjoy every moment of your wedding day. Leave it to the professionals and be open to simple style enhancing ideas like false lashes to amplify your lash line, color contact lenses to brighten up your eye color or even a bold shade of lip color to inspire you – on the day of your consultation.
A professional makeup artist can even create a face chart for you that will help you to recreate the look for any other special occasion. Let your picture perfect bridal beauty illustrate your style with the help of a professional artist who can ensure that all eyes are on you – letting you relax, enjoy, and cherish the moments of your wedding day.
