- Complement your wedding dress: Do not compete with your wedding dress. The style of your wedding lehenga/ wedding saree, the colours & the overall vibes of your wedding dress play a major role when you choose your wedding dress. If your dress is ornate with very detailed work, a subtle makeup look might be a great way to go.

- Consider the time of day: Your bridal makeup style also depends on the time of day. For your reception you can go for a bold look and for your muhurta you can opt for a sun kissed radiant makeup look.

- Know your skin type: Your skin type plays a major role when choosing your makeup products. If you have a dry skin you might want to go for hydrating products and if you have oily skin you might want to choose oil-free products.

- Opt for waterproof & long-lasting products: There a lot of functions when it comes to Indian weddings. You haldi, sangeet, reception & muhurtham will all require different makeup products. The one common thing to make sure would be that you opt for long lasting makeup products for all your functions. Your photo sessions & group photos after the function will last longer than your anticipated time. When it comes to your haldi or manjal neer festivals, light makeup could be preferred as you would only be taking few pics before the festive begins.
