Tips for perfect indian bridal hair

You’ve got the guy, the dress and the flowers, but don’t overlook the one detail that will make your wedding: your face.

Basic skin care

A solid regimen of skin and nail care is the best way to get that 'total look' you are after. Talk to a beautician regarding a skin and nail care plan. This may mean regular facials starting two months before the wedding. Also don't forget your nails.

Choosing a make up artist

The skill of the make up artist comes with experience. Talk to the artist about where they trained. A make up artist should know about highlighting and shading, and how lighting affects the make up and how to apply make up for photography. Ask what they have done in the past and if they have photos of their work to show you.

At the trial

Have pictures from magazines to help your make up artist design a look for you. Also have your head bridesmaids with you to give her opinion of the make up. Talk about:

What make up brands they use?

Mention if you have any skin problems e.g. sensitive skin or allergies.
Colours that you have chosen as the make up should compliment the dress and flowers.
Warm neutral tones create a natural look, which is often advisable.
So you've chosen your dress, the flowers and the cake, you even chosen the perfect hair style what about your make up?

Things to avoid

Bright coloured lipsticks eg. fuchsia, blue-reds and burgundy these colours will appear dark and some times black in photographs. Frosted eye colours as they can be too reflective and flare at the camera, although modern shimmery looks are okay if applied correctly

Pre wedding treatments

I feel it is a nice idea to have a facial a couple of weeks before the wedding. No closer than this because of the toxins which come out during and after the facial may cause pimples, which we don't want on the day. You might also want to consider having a manicure on the day or just before.

On the day

Plan and keep to a schedule. Make sure that you eat and brush your teeth before the make up is applied so not to damage the application. You should allow approximately 30 mins. Where possible, the hairstylist and the make up artist should alternate between people to save time.
