Engagement Makeup
Marrying into a North Indian family is like getting a crash course on Bollywood weddings and demystifying the various functions and celebrations that are always a part of a Karan Johar movie. From rokka to sagan to chunni-chadhana to teeka to mehendi to sangeet to jai-maala to phere to vidaai, I have been educated about them all...
Of course with a huge number of functions come an equal (if not more) number of outfits and hence makeup. Thus today's makeup is versatile enough to be worn on the lesser functions like the Engagement or the sagan or for chunni-chadhan and even for a Rokka ceremony (if you are having one on a big scale)...
For today's makeup, I have kept the look young, fresh and feminine. As is evident, the color palette for this look consists of pinks and purples, since I have noticed that most brides keep Red or Maroon for the actual wedding ceremony.
So here's the look...
Products Used
1. Kryolan Ultra Foundation (review HERE)
2. Kryolan Translucent Powder
3. Konad Eyebrow Pencil in Black
4. MAC Retrospeck Eyeshadow as highlighter (review HERE)
5. Colorbar I-Glide Pencil in Prunella (review HERE)
6. Inglot Eyeshadow in DS
7. Illamsaqua Blush in Morale (review HERE)
8. Colorbar True Gloss in Radiant Pink (review HERE)
9. Maybelline Colossal Kajal
10. Ellis Faas Mascara in E401 (review HERE)
2. Opt for fun shades in the palettes of pinks, greens, light blues and pale goldens.
3. The main focus of your makeup should be on flawless skin and a perfect but natural looking base.
4. Avoid bronzers and contouring as they have an effect of weighing down your entire look.
5. Go on, satiate your cravings for false lashes.
