For your Lips
Tip 37: Make lips appear fuller
Tip 36: Take care of dry lips
Are your lips thin? Here’s a way to make them
appear fuller. Take a skin colored lip liner and
extend the natural lip line. But remember less is
more so do not over do it. To make your lips look
fuller pat a little bit of shimmer at the centre of the
lower lip. This creates the illusion of a fuller lip.
Use a lip balm each times you
feel your lips are dry. Do not lick
or bite your lips. This will dry the
lips and cause them to become
chapped and flaky.
For Bridal Makeup Looks
Tip 35: Apply your makeup the
usual way
Apply the makeup using the right
brushes or applicators. If you are
comfortable with brushes, then use
brushes, if you are comfortable with
sponges, use them. Also if you are
comfortable with fingers, use them
to apply makeup. It is not a time to
experiment, so stick to the usual
technique.
Tip 34: Match the makeup with
your attire
Take a look at your clothes and
jewellery. Consult with your makeup
artist beforehand about the looks
which will go with the dress. Select
the one which you want to do on the
day. Do not go in for any last minute
changes.
Tip 33: Choose the right
foundation
Choosing the right foundation is
very important as you don’t want to
look ghostly or darker than usual. Go
shopping with a friend or a relative
and try different shades on yourself.
The goal will be to choose a shade
which matches your skin tone.
Choosing a tone lighter than yours
for your bridal makeup Indian style
will create a wheatish effect on your
face.
Tip 32: Use a highlighter
Use a highlighter instead of
shimmer or glitter. The main
attempt should be to make the skin
appear glowing and not shimmery.
Highlight the bridge of the nose, the
chin, the forehead and around the
perimeter of the face.
