Simple beauty tips can assure an appearance worthy of many compliments and pictures you will treasure for the rest of your life. You have met the man of your dreams, fallen in love with him and even got the marriage date fixed.

In the meantime, you have started with the preparations, right from choosing the venue to selecting the bridal dress. Now, have you given any thought to the D-day makeup as well?

Eyes
Avoid any harsh lines or too much eye liner and Kajal. Your eyes can be lined according to the color of dress you will be wearing. Opt for black, grey or even brown and make sure to smoothen it out. The eye shadow is best used according to your dress and your skintone. Warm tones like copper, chestnut brown, peaches, pink browns, etc. work the best. Avoid greens, blues or garish pinks and violets. Use generous doses of mascara to add volume to your eyes.
Lips
Exfoliate with a soft toothbrush and Vaseline. Avoid applying foundation on the lips as they get damaged. Use some moisturizer on and around the lips and then apply a warm tone of lipstick, mostly in browns, red browns or light pinks. For the pout, dab a hint of lip gloss on the center of your lips and press them together so that it spreads. Never apply the lip gloss all over the lips and don’t line your lips with a harsh lip pencil. It will look as though someone drew it on your face.

Cheeks
More than your cheeks, it is the cheek bone that needs to be accentuated. Instead of shimmery blush, go for a matt look. These days, you even get liquid blush that can be applied in an upward motion starting from the apple of the cheeks to the high end of the cheek bone. It is then blended softly with finger tips. Avoid bright pinks or dark browns and stick with pale bronze or copper for a dusky complexion and pale pinks for fairer complexions.

Makeup Tips for Brides
First, wash your face properly. Use a light moisturizer to smoothen your skin.
Select a concealer of a lighter color, and apply it over the shadow areas of the face around the eyes and nose.
Then, gently apply an oil free foundation and blend it all over the face and under the neck. Try and choose a color tone which is slightly lighter than your skin tone but never go for white.
Matte foundation is best suited for Indian skin tone as it gives a natural effect.
To get rid of blemishes, touch up your face with a concealer. Apply translucent powder and spread evenly all over the face to get the matte effect.
Proper make up should be applied to the forehead, nose and chin.
Eye makeup is very important, so proper care should be taken for eye make-up.
Use a brown tone eye shadow for softness and white makeup to lift. Use a thin line of white eyeliner on the eyelid, to highlight the eyes. Finish the line with black eyeliner and add a little black eye shadow under the eye.
To highlight your lashes, use black mascara. To have a detailed look brush eyebrows and apply a brown eyebrow pencil. Use a good quality lipstick, which will last.
The color of your lipstick should match your dress.
