Then add a high-quality primer to create a smooth canvas for your makeup and to ensure long-lasting makeup.
Foundation & concealer:
Next, Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly and provides the desired coverage. Opt for a formula that has buildable coverage.
For your dark circles or blemishes, add a creamy and bendable concealer. Make sure to select a shade that matches your skin tone. If you are someone who suffers from deep pigmentation then, I would suggest that you add a good orange corrector to your makeup kit.
Setting Powder:
To lock your foundation and concealer in place and reduce shine, use a setting powder. Choose a translucent powder that suits your skin type to avoid altering the color of your foundation. Gently dust it over your face, paying attention to the T-zone and under the eyes.
Blush and Bronzer:
Now, you don't want to look dead! In order to do that we need to add a touch of colour to your cheeks is essential to achieve that bridal glow. Select a blush shade that complements your skin tone and apply it to the apples of your cheeks for a natural flush. Use your blush on your cheeks as per your face shape.Additionally, a bronzer either metallic or matte can be used to contour and add warmth to your face, giving you a sculpted look.
Eye Shadow Palette:
An eye shadow palette with a range of neutral shades is a must-have for your bridal makeup kit. Opt for a palette that offers both matte and shimmery finishes. Remember to choose shades that enhance your eye colour and blend well together. With these shades, you'll have the versatility to achieve soft, natural daytime looks or go for bold and glamorous evening styles
Mascara and Eyeliner:
Never Underestimate the Power of Mascara!! A waterproof mascara to prevent smudging and ensure opening up those beautiful eyes of yours is a must have in your bridal kit. And no makeup kit is complete without a black eyeliner and kohl. Try taking a waterproof ones so that you can wear it for longer hours.
Lip Pencil:
One of the few items which are often ignored are lip pencils. Try to add few lip pencils to your kit which are of matching shades of your favourite lipsticks.
Lipstick and Lip Gloss:
In today's market, there is an abundance of brands offering a wide range of lip colours, making it difficult to choose. In my suggestion, your bridal makeup kit should include at least five essential shades.
Firstly, a bold red shade that allows you to make a statement and exude confidence. Secondly, a soft pink shade for your everyday use, adding a touch of subtle elegance. For those playful moods, a vibrant hot pink shade is a must-have. Additionally, a versatile brown neutral shade that complements every outfit in your wardrobe.
For Indian skin tones, I highly recommend exploring shades of wine or deep plum, as they beautifully enhance our unique complexion.
Remember, your kit should also include lip balm to keep your lips moisturized, in addition to the lipstick and lip gloss.Feel free to expand your collection and customize it to your preferences. The key is to have a variety of shades that cater to different occasions and moods, ensuring you always have the perfect lip colour at your fingertips.
Setting Spray:
This product will help to keep your makeup fresh and prevent it from smudging or melting. Look for a setting spray that provides a lightweight, natural finish.
Note: Don't forget to add a nice Makeup remover preferably with zero alcohol along with ear buds and cotton swipes. Also, keeping one face wipe packet in your kit comes handy.
