My advice is not to wear any major makeup...the simpler u look, the more u glow on the wedding..its a tried and tested method!
4 the photos, i wore very light foundation, wore my green lenses (im quite fair so looked quite real) and just curled my lashes (didnt even wear mascara) and then wore plain clear lipgloss...had my hair in a normal bun with a dupatta over it and it looked great in pics...
on the wedding day I really did glow...
I think stick to the traditions...otherwise wts da difference on ur wedding day and the mehndi...and people will appreciate your real beauty on the mehndi....I had a lot of people complimenting to my family that I looked so pretty without the makeup even LOL....little did they knw there was 'some' foundation ;)
Good luck
agreed:)
