2016 Makeup Bridal Trends We Love!

By  | 

Getting beauty advice from everyone you know can be a tad too overwhelming at times. While the modern Indian bride is open to experimenting around with new looks and make up trends, she doesn’t want to lose her individuality altogether. Trends, as you know, keep changing and that’s why we’ve got the lowdown on a few hit 2016 makeup bridal trends you should know about. Happy experimenting:

Fake Eyelashes

So, do you really need fake eyelashes especially if you’re already using the best curling mascara available in the market? We recommend this 2016 makeup bridal trend for those brides who want to keep their makeup simple but want dramatic eyes. You’d be surprised at the effect that fake eyelashes can give you and that’s why they’re worth a try. We would suggest that you ask your makeup stylist about letting you try on a pair before you actually purchase a set.

Coloured Lenses

Always fantasised about having eyes that had a tint of green or which were as blue as the sea? Well, now with a range of disposable lenses available, there’s no reason why you can’t change your eye colour on your wedding day. However, do be warned- contact lenses could cause allergy and we would advise that you wear your lenses for a few days before you actually put on a pair for your wedding day. And with the right colour, you can truly look amazing. For instance, how about wearing a shade of green lenses that match the green in your bouquet?

Nude Made Up Look

The nude makeup look started trending last year and it’s still going big this year too. The beauty of the nude look rests in the fact that even though a bride will be wearing makeup, the overall end effect is makeup that looks natural and yet which conceals any imperfection perfectly. No wonder this 2016 makeup bridal trend is still going strong! Another advantage of going with a nude look is that you can opt for heavy jewellery without looking flashy and this makeup look suits all skin tones. We suggest opting for a soft glowy peach or rose tone.

Eye Make up with Drama

Out with the traditional kajal stick we say and in with coloured eyeliner and sticks that look really sexy! Now, brides have the option to play around with colours, mix and match and even blend in two different shades for a Bollywood like effect. If you would prefer to keep your eye shadow and eye liner simple, then we suggest going for an eye shadow that has a silvery or bronze shade as that will blend in beautifully with any ensemble you choose. Gold of course is a perpetual favourite too. According to the 2016 makeup bridal trend, brides want makeup that’s louder, bolder and better. We say go for it!
