Ok sooooooo I have to a nikkah, a mehndi, a baraat and a valima.
For the valima I have booked professional hair and makeup and I am most likely wearing my own Valima dress being newly married and all that its a deep purple so I will go for a vampy dark lip and bedroom eyes.
Ok for the nikkah I am wearing hot pink, mehndi I am wearing light pink and yellow combo and baraat— dont know yet!!
What kind of looks would you do for each event if you were newly married yourself?
For the nikkah, I'd keep the eyes simple and do a hot pink lip.
For the mehndi, keep the skin very dewy and fresh, a gold smokey eye, and a light pink lip. And you want your cheeks to be flushed with a pale/pastel pink.
For the baraat, I'd do something really dramatic like a arabic eye with lots of glitter and a nude lip, and lots of highlighting+contouring.
And also it depends on how close you are to the couple/family. If you know them well, you can get away with a lot of makeup. If you don't know them too well, I wouldn't do something overly dramatic because it might look like you're trying to outshine the bride. Another rule of thumb is that if the women of the family/ bride are known to wear a lot of makeup to other people's events, you can get away with lots of makeup.
