7 Makeup Trends Indian Brides Should Try On Their Big Day

The modern Indian bride is not dictated by old conventions, but her own personality. Indian bridal makeup has changed a lot from the standard black liner and red-lip. Today, brides are throwing away all clichés and adopting beauty looks that have a contemporary twist.

Here are the top seven makeup looks of this wedding season:

Winged Liner

The winged liner look has been there for ages and is here to stay. The old favourite in its current form is not that sharp-edged, it is soft and sophisticated. It has a subtle angle and is not overly dramatic. Moreso, brides are opting for coloured liners, instead of the traditional black.

Dark smokey eyes and a bronze and gold undertone can elevate your look like never before. You can go for a dark lip alongside it and complete the look with heavy mascara. This is the perfect makeup look if you want to transition from your day ceremony to your nighttime reception party.

Metallic Tones

Metallic tones such as gold, silver and bronze can nicely complement your traditional bridal outfit. Using these different shades to do your eyeshadow, highlighter and blush, will definitely accentuate your look. It can add an edge to the outfit you have chosen.

Maroon Lip

Instead of the red lip, the new favourite in town is heavy with berry tones. It is an update on tomato red and makeup artists are calling it “Marrakesh maroon.” It will go perfectly with ivory or beige outfits that have gained popularity this wedding season by bringing the right amount of contrast to the look.

The minimalist makeup look is a classic. The au naturel philosophy can never go wrong. It is a very clean, simple look with nude tones, which goes well with traditional bridal attire.

Siren Red Lips

Bold red lips to team with the bridal red lehenga? It's a classic combination. But instead of doing up your whole face, keep it simple and avoid the overly-caked up look. It will go well with soft smokey eyes and a clean face.
