Basic rules to follow
• Find a foundation that is only 1-2 times lighter than your actual skin color. Going more lighter won’t look good at all. The color should blend in your skin and brighten the face. Don’t get tempted to look fairer as it looks really, really bad!
• Use false lashes – since it’s wedding makeup, you definitely need falsies to add some drama to your eyes, plus the eyes look fuller and bigger.
• Highlight like a pro – Indian weddings are all about glitter, shine, and sparkles. You need a warm golden or any colored highlighter to shine bright like a diamond
• Don’t forget your nails – match your nails with your outfit. Matching nails gives an extra polished effect and are classy.
