Makeup Tips For The South Indian Brides



Whether it is true or not, people often say that Indian brides look ravishing and colourful in their bridal attire. One thing is for sure that our brides portray the beauty of our art and tradition. As we all know we are a very diverse country with en number of different cultures and followings. Our weddings are no different.

SouthIndian brides look ultimately gorgeous in their silk sarees with a combination of golden jewelry and some fresh flowers. Although the Indian bridal dresses are known to be very colourful and grand, south Indian bridal wears are a bit more classy and elegant. Well, coming to the makeup part, the south Indian brides should be little careful as they have a makeup the goes well with the golden ornaments and the silk sarees.

1.     You have to consider while looking for your makeup that it shall match your outfit and the jewelry. This should comprise your makeup for the face, eyes, lips and neck area. If your chosen attire and jewelry are in abundance of colors, then you may have to use colors in your makeup that can compliment your overall look. If you have dusky skin tone, then go for the bright colors like red and coral as they can do wonders on you.

2.     Generally for south Indian weddings, multiple attire changes are common. So we would like to suggest that, you can stick to colors like gold, bronze, neutral shades of pink and brown. Also, do not forget to highlight your features, especially your eyes.

3.     Keeping the moisture of your lips are very important. So go for a lipstick that may last longer and keep applying lip balms whenever needed.

4.     Concealer is a bride’s magic wand. It can hide all the unwanted things from your face such as the darkness around the eyes, acnes, marks, blackheads and so on. Just make sure that you are using a crème based concealer to avoid the dryness.

5.     Selecting the right matching foundation is a very risky thing. Because foundations can go either perfect or totally wrong on you. So select the perfectly matching foundation for your skin tone to avoid the over bright look. It would be better if you go for waterproof products as they can last long without leaving you look greasy.

Apart from the makeup, it is also very essential that you should relax your mind and body to have the charm you are expecting. Get a sound sleep and wake up fresh...

6 wedding colour mistakes to avoid by all means

When you’ve gone through great lengths to cherry pick just about everything for your wedding, it’s beyond heartbreaking when the end result looks like a circus. Mismatching and clashing colours can end up being a major wedding boo-boo. But with a few things playing on the back of your mind as you pick your theme and colours, you can have yourself a visual candy of a wedding.
Really, loud colours. Sure we’re Indians. But that doesn’t mean that our colours need to be shouting over us for attention. They can do their own talking. This doesn’t mean you cannot use bright colours. But too many bright colours belong on macaws and not the setting of your wedding. A nice neutral background will really bring out the colours of your guests’ bright and shimmery attire; while a bright background can really make the bold solids of a white wedding really stand out.
Patterns going all over the place. Please don’t use every motif and every shape you fall in love with on Pinterest. If you’re going to be using vintage-inspired patterns, don’t suddenly bring something inspired by the 80’s pop culture into the picture.
Excessive colour palette. Which colour do you choose? Well, keep it minimal. Too many colours again, can make things look like the circus is in town.
Colours that don’t get along. Using strong colours together, end up making your wedding look like a comic book. Unless that happens to be the theme of your wedding, you don’t want that effect. Make sure the colours you choose for the ambience, your bridesmaids, your attire, your groomsmen and your family are in the same colour family.
Colours that don’t get along with the venue. Always take into account the venue. If it has its own character or not, what colours go best with the ambience, the theme, etc. And then choose your wedding colours accordingly.
Colours that are all wrong for the time of day. Some colours that work wonderfully under the sun sort of fade and wilt in artificial light. Soft colours look all dreamy in the day time and can look a little washed out during a night function. Always keep in mind the time of your function before choosing your colours.
