Bridal Do's and Dont's for Wedding Makeup Artist!
// By Devina

Today's post is dedicated to my favorite people in the world- The Brides! While looking up on the internet I came across beauty/make up forums wherein Bride to be's had posted questions regarding the most important aspect of their wedding, the bridal makeup. And then I thought why not do a post around the same taking inputs from REAL BRIDES.

Bride's Do List-



Brides Don't List-



At the same time, the Brides also shared some horror makeup stories and faux pas they were made to go through. What most brides recommended is the color of their Base that every bride must check, re-check and ensure after a couple of trail sessions. It doesn't matter if you have to pay for a trial sessions if it helps you in looking more like a bride than a drag queen on your D-day! Well i'll suggest that the Bride must carry her foundation matching her skin tone instead of taking chances. The other most important aspect many girls give a miss is the nails. Don't forget well manicured and nicely painted nails makeup for a Beautiful picture in the album. It's every girls dream to make the most beautiful bride on their day, so I guess it's better be safe than sorry. In India we are really not use to having a solo artist for the wedding as compared to the west, here we girls prefer going to salons and pick us 3 day packages etc, well all I can say is go all out for your D day, some artists from MAC are doing solo work and are reasonable but amazing, book them for a day    and make your makeup look memorable. Also make sure you most your lips all through the day using a lip balm so that when the lipstik is put the lips look softer. Oh and yes, once you are done with the lipstick, tell your friend/sister to take a picture, if the smile looks small, ask the makeup artist to make it look fuller using a lipstik brush! One last tip for the brides, in any case don't use foundation or   primer on your heenaful hand, it will settle on the mehendi, and make it look lighter, If need be, use a makeup brush to apply the same.  Hope this post has helped Bride-to-be's today. Would love to hear from you all :)

Final Bridal Checklist Before the Big Day!
// By Devina

It's inauguration time and it's a shout out to all the brides...! In this post I bring to the most important, rather a very handy final checklist for your reference.

It's your final showdown and I know you are already through with your bridal trousseau but like everybody else you must have not got yourself some of THE most important things. In case you have, then a huge applause for you, in case you haven't then don't be disheartened, relax, take a deep breath and scroll down for 5 most essential things my dear bride-to-be!

Bridal Vanity Kit
Along with a good quality foundation, carry a primer rich in vitamins that will allow you to hide all wrinkles, scars and under eye darkness. Smudge proof eyeliner and eye shadow, face powder and lipstick are a must haves. But the most important things to carry in the vanity kit are wet wipes and make up remover ( I use the makeup remover from MAC, works really well) and a toner!

Nude Lingerie 


Of all the fancy lingeries you have got for yourself if you forgot to collect the nude shade lingerie then wait no more and Shop for one! Dear Bride underneath any white garment, DO NOT wear a white lingerie, instead wear a NUDE one. Nude is the new neutral. As far as the underpants are concerned, nude works very well under tight clothes-no seams, no worries! If you don't have the time to shop, indulge in some online purchases from Zivame

Small Sewing Kit


What if the new skimpy blouse you wore with a beautiful Benarsi saree just made a sound of a tearing cloth? As our mommy's always said, better be safe than being sorry, so lovelies, get yourself a basic sewing kit comprising of scissors, some needles, threads in basic colors and measuring tape. It's always good to have a durable kit that you can carry where ever, whenever. Make sure you get one for yourself.

Hair Dryer


Many of you have already invested in a hair straightener, don't panic seeing this picture. For those who haven't please get a blow dryer for your hair. It's easy to use, makes your hair look naturally sorted after a wash and works best for last minute guest arrivals at home type of situations. I use the one from Philips and It works pretty well on my hair!

Extra Earring Backs


The most tragic situation for any girl is loosing on to an earring's back! (In my case it's more like a crisis) In order to avoid last minute blunders, carry super additional pair of earring backs with you in your vanity kit. Every-time you purchase jewelry, ask for extra earring backs. 
Additionally carry extra safety pins too, you never know when you will need them :)
