WEDDING DIARIES - Wedding Ceremony Attire - Makeup

Written by 15 Comments


After hairstyle, here's makeup... As I told you in the last post, I got married after quite a lot my friends and I learnt a lot about what not to do!!! One of the 'not' was not getting a MUA to do my makeup!!! Yup, you read that right... No Makeup Artist!!!
See, most of the South Indians, have a wheatish to dusky skintone. But then, as much as fair skinned people in the Europe & US love their tanning products, so much so, Indians love their skin whitening products. There's a craze for fair skin and the MUAs try to make the skin fairer with makeup!!! They apply the foundation a tone or two, lighter than the skintone of the bride. That makes the brides look so unlike themselves. They can't even recognize themselves!!!! Sometimes it gets ashy. Sometimes it starts looking ghostly! Sometimes there's a stark difference between the tanned arms and neck and the white washed face!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to look like myself and I wanted to wheatish skintone as it is, and not whitened...


I have some products and I had to buy only few. I knew my skintone. I have good foundations that matched my skintone. So why not do some trials till I get what I wanted. I did 2 trials and took some photographs indoor, outdoor, with flash, without flash to check if I look OK in every case and finalized on the products. For my eyes, I opted for a copper & golden eye shadow with lips were deep colored...

    You look so radiant! Even I'm not a fan of getting makeup done by MUAs.. more often than not, they mess it up.
    Congratulations on the wedding :)

    You did a lovely job with your make-up! Even I feel that at the time of my wedding, I might just skip the MUA and do it myself :) Congratulations!

    So pretty, you make a stunning bride... yeah, most brides look a little ghost-ish on their wedding days, cause of this obsession with fairness.
