8 Fashion and Makeup Blunders Indian Brides-To-Be Must Avoid

By  | 

You have planned the day down to the tiniest details. In your zeal and enthusiasm, avoid making these fashion and beauty blunders.

 Choosing unflattering colours

Irrespective of whether you have a dusky skin tone or a fair one, please go in for a trial makeup session to determine which colours suit you the best. Make sure you discuss these things with your makeup stylist and let her know exactly what you have in mind. Avoid bright colours and do not enhance all your features. It is best to play up the eyes or lips, never both.

Fusion wedding wear does not always work

No matter how cold it is on your wedding day, do avoid western winter wear such as long jackets or sweaters etc along with your lehenga or sari. Instead, opt for a shawl or stole to keep warm.

Fashion seen on the ramps is often impractical

You might have loved the dresses seen on the ramps but not everyone might share that opinion.  As a bride it is naturally your prerogative to choose what you want to wear; but do take into account the opinions of trusted friends and family members as well when shopping for the bridal attire.

 Select your hairstyle carefully

The Great Gastby hairstyle did take the western wedding world by storm but it just does not work for the Indian wedding scene. Go in for a traditional Indian hairstyle and, if you have short hair, consider extensions.

Avoid invasive cosmetic treatments before the big day

If you have sensitive skin, use of unknown and chemical based facial products is a strict no-no. Consult a dermatologist at least 6-8 months before the wedding to get products or treatment options for specific skin issues.

 Avoid too much jewellery

Agreed that Indian weddings are all about glamour and pomp but do avoid over the top jewellery. If needed, opt for large neck piece and earrings but go in for a subtle maang teeka in that case.
