Pulling off a Maharashtrian bridal makeup look is tricky for it has many elements. Make sure you do not overdo your highlighter and contour for it will take away the essence of the traditional jewellery, for instance, the nath. Keep it classy and light, and just focus on enhancing your eyes.
Choose dark shades like maroon, brown and dark purple when it comes to lipsticks because it will complement the overall traditional attire. Most Maharashtrian brides wear yellow tones for the wedding, and these lip colours will make you look elegant by all means.

KEY TIPS FOR MAKEUP AND HAIRSTYLING YOU MUST FOLLOW

Always confused about what makeup to apply or how best to style your hair? You aren’t the only one. So, here’s something to help you out with your makeup and styling woes:

Consider the climate

With the climate taking a toll on almost all of us, it is best to take the season and the weather conditions into account when you deck up for any event.

- During summers

If you know you are bound to sweat off the entire makeup you apply and ruin your hairstyle due to the immense heat, here’s what you must do:

- Highlight your eyes
- Avoid using heat while styling your hair. (This means no ironing and no curling)
- Keep your makeup minimalistic and tie up your hair in an attractive bun. Pin up frizzy hair if necessary.

- During monsoons

You know you can never predict the rains or depend on news forecast. The best thing to do here is to stay prepared

- Use waterproof makeup
- Avoid hairstyles that can be ruined by water
- Make sure to try hairstyles that allow you to leave your hair open so it can be dried easily if you are caught up in the shower

- During winters

Winters are the safest of all seasons when it comes to trying out makeup and hairstyles. So, try our perming, curling, or straightening without a care in the world. There is also no safety rule for makeup during cooler weathers, giving you the chance to try out bold eye makeup, bright gloss, and all things vibrant!

Keep the occasion in mind

This is another point that most of us forget to consider. The occasion is as important a factor as the weather. You cannot wear makeup and hairstyles to a social event during the day that you usually flaunt during parties in the evening. Keeping it simple is something you must learn to do during occasions attended during the day.

Dare to experiment

Sticking to the same look that you have worn through the years will definitely not help you stand out. The rule to use makeup is to experiment as often as you can. New shade of lipstick that you though wouldn’t suit you? Why not give it a try! All you need to do is dare to experiment.

If you feel you lack the courage or the knowledge about makeup and hairstyling to try out these tips, you can always attend one of the many makeup and hairstyling courses in Mumbai.

MAKE-UP FIASCOS TO AVOID AS A BRIDE

Brides are often scrutinised through their choice in bridal lehenga and makeup nd even their choice of groom! While there is nothing we can do about your significant other or your lehenga preference, we can certainly give you a few much-needed tips to avoid as a bride. So all you Gujarati brides out there hoping to find the right Gujarati bridal makeup professional, we are here for you along with a few well-chosen tips:

Eye makeup

When we say eye makeup, we aren’t just talking about the eyes but the eyebrows and everything around! If you have light or thin eyebrows, choose a shade darker than your natural hair colour to fill up your brows and give it a good shape. You eyelids, however, need a neutral shade in order to be highlighted perfectly. When it comes to eyeliners, stick to basics. Another great way to highlight your eyes is to curl your lashes and use mascara to lengthen them. However, steer clear of false lashes and heavily trendy makeup. Too many coats of mascara too is sure to spoil your look.

Face

One thing you must make sure never to do as a bride is trying on the currently trending makeup style and we stress on this all the more so that you don’t cringe when you take a look at your wedding album a few years down the line when the makeup trend is sure to have changed. The only thing we’d suggest for your face is to go with the classic look, with a sheen of bronze powder and stay as natural as you possibly can when choosing the shades.

Lip makeup

Make sure you use a bright yet elegant shade of lipstick with the use of a lip brush to get a nice little pout to form. Once the shade graces your lips you can add on a liner that beautifully compliments the shade of the lipstick. Keep in mind that following the lip line that you are naturally blessed with can help define your lips much better than enhancing it further. Even while applying makeup, keeping it as natural as you can will go a long way in allowing the makeup to remain intact through the wedding ceremony. One thing to actively avoid is using a neutral shade which are sure to make you look haggard and pale.

THINGS TO DO ONCE YOU JOIN A MAKEUP AND HAIRSTYLING COURSE

Planning to up your skills with a course in makeup and hairstyling? Finding the right one takes absolutely no effort if you know where to look. However, there is more to it than just enrolling in a class. So, when you have finally joined one of the many makeup and hairstyling courses in Mumbai, make sure you follow these habits:

Be attentive: Makeup is all about the right shades smeared with delicate strokes of the brush in a certain way. The slightest of distraction could end up with an outcome way different than you wanted it to be. Attention to detail is one of the key characteristic required in every makeup artist and hair stylist. So, when you are being trained, make sure you pay attention to every stroke of the brush and the slightest change in contrast and shade. For hairstylists in training, make sure you understand the texture of the hair, the volume, and the best styles for different types of hair and face types.

Be unique: Every stylist and artist has their own unique method of doing things. Most are known for these very qualities, making them more sought after. No matter how much you admire your mentor, make sure to create your own unique style of doing things to create a niche for yourself. The more different and creative you try to be, the higher your chances of making it to the top in the industry.

Be bold: Don’t be afraid to try something new just because it is not the norm followed around. While your mentor can help you understand the basics, it is up to you to make the right decisions, depending on your subject. If you like a certain category of makeup and hairstyling more than other, be sure to focus more on that. You can choose to be the jack of all trades, or master one and take your career forward.
