white roses be a smart girl and wear makeup on your mehndi event. Chances are you are wearing green or yellow colors, which look awful without makeup. Listen girls who go without any make up always look bland/tired/green. Wear some light make up, natural hues. Why ruin your picutres? All the girls that go without makeup in on their mehendi day just don't have good freinds that are honest with them. If I had a friend who wore no makeup I would personally tie her down and make her wear some. Unless she naturally was born with flawless skin, rosey cheeks, lush lashes, and pink lips.
i have to agree with this-- but just amend it to say most girls, not all girls, without even a stitch of makeup tend to look honestly, not that great. yes, you'll look simple without any makeup on, but its still a big party and you still have to sit on stage and get pictures taken unless you do the ghoonghat thing, and frankly, i didn't want crap pictures of me. i don't want to look back and realise i looked ill on my mehendi day. i think a bit of makeup is necessary unless you have natural beauty and a flawless complexion.
also, your wedding day is a big deal anyway and the glow you get on that day, outside of what makeup, clothing and jewellery you have on- its going to make you stand out. theres no way that girls are going to look better on mehendi than they do on shaadi just because they wear makeup- your whole demeanor is different, outside of the dressiness and formality of your clothing, jewellery, hair and makeup.
sumo, i had sleeveless for my mehendi too!
