Re: Why don't Brides wear makeup on their mehendi?
On the mehndi day, a little bit of makeup is good (for pics and the video) (just foundation, mascara and NUDE LIP GLOSS!), and from any store you can buy "hi-glow blush" which is a liquid form, that tints your cheek bones, giving a very natural look...I think that would be ideal. However, in regards to makeup on the wedding, I totally disagree with the way it's been done in the past (esp in Pakistan). They layer it soooo much, that the bride does look gorgeous indeed, but she looks totally different! I mean it's the most important day in your life, and you don't even look like yourself!
Makeup is essential I agree,but within limits, so your eyes don't look 10x larger and your nose doesn't look half it's size etc.,
I mean do you really want to spend half of your wedding night trying to take the layers of makeup off? ;) (not even the best make up remover can help you) Plus I think a majority of guys don't like a lot of makeup anyway...(atleast I hope :S)
