If you are an Indian, you will get to learn one truth – Very
few Indian weddings are rarely a small deal. Right from the different rituals
to the ending, Indians spend most lavishly on a wedding. Even though I crave
going to weddings for the good food, another part that I adore is getting
dolled up for the event. Let me tell you the basic makeup routine to follow
when you have a big D-day to go to.
Primer :
Start with the skincare but
don’t directly apply the primer. First, apply the moisturizer and relax for 15
minutes, allowing the moisturizer to set in. The Lakme Peach Milk Moisturizer
works efficiently with itslightness and non-greasy nature. Now, it is time for
the primer. The primer acts like a bridge between your skin and the foundation
so it is quite a necessary part of your makeup. The primer is the base that you
establish your makeup on.The Lakme Absolute Blur Perfect Makeup Primer works
effectively to give an even toned skin.
Foundation :
Next comes the foundation.Choosing
the shade of the foundation is very important. If you are dusky, you don’t want
to seem unnaturally pale, like a vampire.The aim of applying foundation
ismatching your skin tone and making the overall skin even. This depends on
factors like your skin color, the undertones of your skin and your skin type.
One of the top foundations preferred is the Nykaa SKINgenius Sculpting and
Hydrating Foundation, enriched with the Hyaluronic Acid and Polylift
Technology. It allows to lift your skin tone as well as impart moisture to your
skin, keeping it moisturized.
Kajal :
Kajal is one of those
requirements without which our entire makeup kit is worthless, like the salt in
the food. Be sure to clean your eyes before applying to avoid the smudging of
your kajal. Applying the kajal to your waterline helps to give bigger, more
defined eyes. In case you are clueless as to what waterline is, it is the area
between the base of your lashes and the actual eyeball. Among the different
types of kajal, the pencil kajal is the easiest to apply. One more thing, do
remember to apply your kajal from the outer areas to the inner so that you can
line your eye perfectly. The smudge-proof
and waterproof Maybelline New York Colossal Kajal Super Black is a good choice.
Eyeliner :
Eyeliner is the dreaded part
of every makeup routine. It is like cooking mushrooms – very easy but a
disaster if you mess it up. Eyeliner makes your eyes look bigger and bolder.
Make sure to start applying your eyeliner from the middle. Move to the outer edges
of the lash to make your eyes look fuller. Fill in the gaps left at your lash
line to complete the look. If you are feeling particularly adventurous, you can
do a winged eyeliner. One good suggestion would be Maybelline New York The
Colossal Liner.
Contouring :
Contouring is basically
defined as manipulating the light to make your face have a bright glow and seem
in shape. Suck in your cheekbones and apply the contour powder in the hollows,
your T- zone and the jawline. After that, all you need to do is blend. You can
use a brush or a blender to blend the powder with your skin. Keep your hair
tightly pulled back so that none of it falls on your face because it’s plain
annoying. We suggest the Maybelline New York V-Face Duo Stick as it easily
accentuates your features.
Lip Care :
Coming to your lips, start
with applying lip balm and then lining your lip with a lip pencil. When you
apply your lip colour after that, you will see that you can apply it easily,
without it smudging. Wrap your lips around the length of your index finger so
that the remaining lip colour can be removed. Be sure to check your teeth
before you leave. Lip colour has a bad habit of getting stuck on the teeth. The
Lakme Enrich Lip Crayon collection is a handy tool to keep with you while
getting ready for any occasion.
