The key to a perfect look, “less is more.”
Here we are, calling out all the girls around Pakistan who are looking for make-up recommendations for this year’s wedding season. A wedding can be very stressful, deciding on the dress, shoes and other accessories. We are always looking for an easy way but this time we have you covered. We will be recommending a few makeup products for the bride to be and her bridesmaids as well so that they look their best on their big day. The key to a complete and a perfect look is following the less is more concept. Sometimes overdoing the look can ruin it.
Before we start with the recommendations , remember to moisturize your skin before putting on any makeup so that it creates a smooth canvas to work on and remains supple and glowing.
Kohl Pencil:
Starting off with the eyes, the product we suggest you for a smoky eye look is a kohl black pencil. We can create a smudgy eye look and even a smoky look with it, make up forever’s kohl pencil is highly recommended for quality and a desired look. It comes in various colors but a solid black one is commonly used, available at Sephora internationally and at Sensation locally.
Highlighter:
The bride needs the glow, so a highlighter is an essential to reach that desired glow look. Now talking about how can we achieve it, a highlighter is usually applied on the top of our cheek bones and on the bridge of the nose but a little tip for a sharper look would be applying it slightly on the brow bone. Becca’s shimmering skin perfecter is highly recommended for all the makeup lovers, although its bit on the pricey side but it’s definitely worth investing your money on. It is easily available at The Vault, Emerald Towers locally and Sephora internationally.
Eye Lashes:
Long thick and curvy lashes can change your overall look, although a mascara is a go to when achieving long lashes but no matter how great results the product gives we still need falsies to get more plump lashes. The highly recommended false lashes are Huda beauty falsies which are popular all over the world due to their maintained standard. They come in different styles as well, you can easily get them from Huda beauty website or Sephora internationally and at the Vault or Sensation locally.
Lipstick:
Lipstick is a feel good make up product, it instantly brightens up the look. A pop of color can outdo your look and make you stand out from the crowd. We highly recommend a classic red lip color to go with a black or a white dress. Yves St. Laurent(YSL) classic Rouge Pur Couture range covers almost all colors of corals and mauve’s. It is easily available at Dolmen mall locally and at different stores internationally.
Bronzer:
A little color and depth on the cheek bones is necessary to tone down the paleness from foundation. A bronzer would go handy in such a situation. It also highlights your features, the most popular bronzer to achieve the desired look, is Benefit Hoola Bronzer. It is easily available at Sephora internationally and at The Vault locally.
