Anushka Sharma started it many moons ago when she tied the knot in the Italian countryside and Alia Bhatt took it to another esoteric level when she got married on the terrace of her home a couple of years ago. And then came Pakistani beauty Mahira Khan who not just embraced the look but ensured it became the go-to look for every bride henceforth. I am talking about glossy lips and dewy skin.
Thanks to these gorgeous A-listers, brides today continue to rewrite makeup rules by opting for looks that are minimalistic, effortless and in a charming way, imperfect. From freckles to fine lines, brides these days are unafraid to stay true to their flaws and are wanting a makeup look that is sheer and allows for an ethereal and unfiltered glow.
Here are three ways you too can shine at your fairytale wedding …
Pout perfect
Traditional wisdom might suggests brides must have bold lips, especially when the rest of the face is in soft hues, but this trend suggests otherwise. For best results, ensure your lip colour and skin tone match, creating a very elegant, timeless look. For a more contemporary approach, brides with pale complexions can choose beige tones with a rosy tint, and those with olive complexions can choose toffee and plum nudes. Whichever approach you take, it is vital that you add a touch of gloss or balm on your lips to prevent them from getting dry.
Code rose
A hint of soft pink blush is all you need for that romantic bridal look. Once you have created a flawless base using a primer and a foundation, use your blush on the apples of your cheeks for that naturally flushed look. You can also use a highlighter on the high points of your face to add a subtle glow. Remember, less is more.
Ace your base
There is no denying that a truly radiant complexion is a result of hydration, diet, exercise, good night’s sleep and a proper skincare routine. But what is also true is that makeup can help you achieve it as well. First prep your skin with a serum, moisturiser, and oil to create a smooth, flawless base then apply a warm-toned foundation, followed by a dash of highlighter to add depth and dimension to the skin, suggest beauty experts.
