As a makeup artist, Indian weddings are my favorite! This is when I am able to bust out all of my most colorful eye shadows and put my artistry skills to the test. The bride is so embellished from her adorned soirée to her new collection of dowry jewelry and don’t forget about the most intense and flawless wedding makeup that you have ever seen! Luckily I live near many international markets and a wonderful Indian jewelry store so I have found wedding supplies galore. I bought my wedding tunic there :)

Below is one of my favorite pictures of an Indian bride, here is how to get her look…

Start off your morning with a sensual rose water (rose essential oil and fresh rose petals) bath and then moisturize with pure coconut oil. Before being adorned from head to toe with your 22 karat gold try (Zardosi Henna) mixing glitter along with hair gel(add 1 part glitter to 8 parts hair gel) and placed in a henna cone to accentuate the henna done the night before at your henna party.

For the Indian bridal makeup Start off by using a lumizing serum to give your skin a natural glow. An Indian ceremony followed by the celebration can take all day, so prepare yourself by using a long lasting natural finish foundation finished with a loose powder. Typically Indian brides have dramatic eyes, but their lips and cheeks are just as much of a focus. Choose either dark smokey eye shadow colors accentuated with golds or a colorful eyeshadow palette and don’t forget your eye khol! The eye khol should rim the inner part of your eye, the water cil. You can find this at the International Markets as well. Anyone who reads my blog knows that I am a sucker for false lashes, so just as any other wedding tip that I give…Don’t forget your false lashes! Define your crease area on your eye heavily and don’t be afraid of eyeliner! Lips depending on skin tone and preference should be more colorful than you would typically wear your lipstick. Try a true red or a sheer fuschia! Make sure that your cheeks match your lipstick and find a cream blush finished by a powder blush to insure a long lasting effect. Have fun planning your Indian inspired wedding! Watch one of my favorite movies, Monsoon Wedding to become more inspired!
