Everything you need to know about Indian Bridal Eye Makeup!

While you’re still deciding on your wedding guest list, health and skin care prep starts haunting you. Quite soon it is your Makeup and Hair essentials. A healthy body and glowing face exude your feelings and happiness on your D-day. This is why brides put a lot of effort into their health, skin, makeup and hair. The perfect makeup look that matches your attire and your vibe is a must-have for your big day and related wedding festivities.

As you’re working on your wedding binder and getting your wedding sections done, you’ve probably realised that Makeup and Hair, like all other preparations, take a good sum of your time (unless you already have a dermatologist and MUA and hair specialists finalised) in planning and execution.

Let’s say you haven’t yet finalised your MUA but will get one soon, we suggest you have trial sessions to see which look works best for you and which one you love the most.

Or if you are thinking about doing your makeup yourself or have consultation sessions etc., depending on what your skills and budget are, you must finalise and PRACTISE your bridal look to avoid any erratic situation. Here are some looks every bride should know of before finalising her final look.

The Hype about Falsies and more on Bridal Eye Makeup

False Eyelashes are all in!

Almost every MUA swears by a pair of false lashes while getting her bride ready for the glamorous bridal look. Many brides desire bridal makeup with false lashes as they last long, less harmful in the long run and are easy to use once you get a hold of it. But you still need to practise using them so they don’t fall off at the last moment or irritate your eyes.

Falsies or Fake Eyelashes have been makeup artists' favourites when it comes to eye makeup for a bride. False eyelashes have many variations including the half-eye extensions for a little volume around the corner of your eyes and full-length lashes,  and also provide a range of volume in lashes from bushy to sparingly there. 

If you love your lashes as they are, you can opt for bridal makeup without false lashes. A lash curler with some mascara can do its magic well.
