The big fat Indian wedding has changed drastically. The global pandemic made it more intimate and shone a light on the various ways in which safety should come first.

1. Nothing Like A Good Base

The most important makeup tip to help you sail through your wedding makeup is that a good base is absolutely integral, whether you're going for a subtle or statement-making look. Start with a primer to target skin problems, follow with foundation suited for your skin, concealer to hide imperfections and powder to set it. Don't forget a makeup setting spray to keep it all in place.

2. Your Eyes Speak Volumes

Turning up the eye makeup is a beauty trick followed by most makeup artists. Stick to metallic shades like gold and bronze defined at the outer ends with black and brown tones. Winged eyeliner will add completeness to the look and don't forget that mascara and false lashes can truly take it to the next level.

3. All Features Play Their Part

While eyes may be a focal point of your Indian wedding makeup look, don't forget that every other facial feature also has a part to play for the makeup to look harmonious. Eyebrows need to be defined, lips need a touch of colour and cheeks need shine and shaping to bring the look together.

4. Don't Forget About Touch-Ups

No matter how long-wearing your makeup is, touch-ups are essential to extend their wear. Keep a kit with lipstick, foundation, powder, blush, eye shadow sticks and highlighter with you for a quick dab and dust when you find yours fading.

5. Look Like Yourself

It's important to remember that although your wedding day will probably be one of the biggest days of your life, you shouldn't look like a completely different person. Especially since you are doing your own makeup, you have every bit of control to emphasise and elevate your features while still looking like yourself.
