And along with what you choose to wear, your wedding makeup is equally important for you to shine.
The best way to go about it is to get it done by professional makeup artists. With a bucketful of MUAs (makeup artists) to pick from, getting makeup right can be time consuming. To save you the hassle we’ve put together a list of this season’s go-to makeup trends:
The New Smokey Eyes
The classic smokey eye shall never fail to stun, but this year it dons a new avatar that looks absolutely astonishing on everyone. Bold brides are choosing to spice up their smokey eye by ditching the black and opting for candid colors. The best way to stand out would be to match your smoked eye lid make up to your wedding attire.
Style tip: Shades of green go extremely well with smokey eyes and this elegant saree by by Sabyasachi is a perfect match!
Don The Dark
With autumn just around the corner, makeup artists make use of dark, vampy shades. Opt for purples and reds, or better yet go for oxblood hues and take it up a notch by adding an ombre blend. You can also use darker shades as a highlighter to make those red lips pop. And you can easily create a glamorous look with this gradation trend.
Style tip: Contrast is key in makeup with dark shades and you can blend it well with a light colored lehenga. Anita Dongre’s collection, Alchemy, includes several pieces in nude shades that can get you that perfect balance.
Peachy Perfection
For those tying the knot in daytime, pinks and peaches work well under the sun. This light makeup trend is great for brides who want to keep their makeup looking simple yet fresh. Add a dewy foundation to it and be a vision in daylight.
Style Tip: For a daytime setting, Gauri and Nainika gowns in white with striking embellishments will look astonishing with those peachy makeup hues.

This sister trend of contouring is the top highlight of this year and rightfully so. Whether you’re dressing up for cocktail or your reception, with this makeup on you'll be glowing with happiness and highlights.
