Step By Step Bengali Bridal Makeup Tips & Tutorial In VIdeo

1. From Cleansing To Concealer

It is like the ‘A for Apple’ of makeup routine. A basic step, cleansing removes all the dirt on the face, while toning and moisturizing prepares the ground for the makeup to be laid on. You don’t want your skin to look tired, or the makeup to become cakey over time. So make sure you follow these basic guidelines.

Foundation is the deciding factor for the overall tone of the makeup. As the name suggests, the foundation is the base for the rest of the makeup. Therefore it is crucial to choose the right colour according to the skin tone of the face. We have seen how applying lighter colours as the base makes the bride look darker, and the makeup just a blunder. It is unfortunate, but has totally happened to several people. With the right colour tone and the adequate amount, the foundation evens out and smoothens the skin before adding the compact and packing it in place.

Use a concealer to hide marks and scars, blemishes and redness of skin, darkspots and dark circles. Use it only for the parts of your skin where you think they are absolutely necessary, and don’t put an entire layer of concealer to cover your face. It not only defeats the purpose, but makes the overall makeup unnecessarily heavy. If you find that there may not be much use of a concealer in your facial makeup, then you can definitely skip the step and move on to the application of compact powder.

2. Eye Makeup

Eye makeup is very important in any makeup routine, especially bridal. You are a bride only for a day, and eyes speak volumes. Apply a suitable eyeshadow primer in the highlight area, if necessary. Apply the eyeshadow over the primer to make sure it stays intact.

Eyeliner is not just for an outline, like in children’s colouring books. It is a much more serious and crucial thing, especially with regard to the bridal makeup process. A little too much or a little too less, can overdo or underdo the eye makeup. Depending on the highlight area, and how big the eyes are, one must choose the eyeliner style, width and colours accordingly. And lastly, you don’t want a malnourished looking or bushman eyebrows to hold together the eye makeup. Shape the eyebrows well, that the key for getting the whole thing together.

You can use an eyelash curler and give the lashes a twist before applying a good coating of mascara. If you are going for a dramatic eye makeup, apply multiple coats of the mascara. You may even add external eyelashes, if you feel, it will add to the bridal look.

3. Finish For Facial: Blender Sponge And Blush

You can tell the difference between a good and bad makeup artist by knowing if they carry a quality beauty blender sponge in their kit. It is any makeup person’s best friend. It allows an even application of the products on the face, allowing the makeup to set in equally on the surface instead of forming patchy islands on the face. Use the blender sponge and make sure the foundation, concealer and the compact has reached every corner adequately and touch up the packing powder with a brush as needed. Using a fluffy brush on the cheeks removes any residues of the eye makeup like the eyeshadow or any glitter component that was used in the eye makeup.

Now that the surface is clear and ready, you may apply the blush or rouge on the cheeks using a puffy brush. The subtlety of the coating can be the strength or the weakness of the overall makeup. So make sure the application of the blush is done after careful thinking.

4. For Luscious Lips

Lips have been a very significant part of woman’s daily makeup since time immemorial. So you can imagine its importance in the bridal makeup. A makeup for luscious lips would include well-defined lips with the help of a lip-liner, a generous yet measured application of the right lip-colour, and application of gloss or crème finish lip colour to keep the lips from drying.
