Essential Beauty Tips and Products for a Perfect Wedding Look

Introduction

Everyone wants to look and feel beautiful at a wedding. From dress and kurta to makeup, every detail matters.

While many brides and bridesmaids hire professionals, doing your own glam is a time and money-saving alternative.

With stakes as high as your best friend getting married once and pictures lasting a lifetime, the D-Day makeup must be on point.

Makeup must-haves for wedding season

Whether you swipe on lip gloss and eyeliner or do a full-face glam every day, you already have your go-to products.

Working in layers is the best policy for a wedding makeup look. Start with a little and build your base from there.

Don’t be afraid to use tried-and-tested products for your wedding look, as experimenting with anything new may cause an allergic reaction.

Eyes that mesmerize

Generally, makeup starts with preparing the base, but for weddings, your eyes and lips are the centre of attention, so enhancing them will make you look like a million bucks.

Prep your skin with a primer and use light or medium coverage as your base. We recommend going for a cream-based product to avoid any creasing lines.

Using an eyeshadow brush and Lyon Beauty USA Wanderlust 63 Colors Eyeshadow Palette, apply a shimmery eyeshadow in the middle of the lid, sweep a lighter shade on the inner tear duct, and gently blend in a smokey shade around the outer corner.

Use Iris Cosmetics The Iris Trilogy combo (eyeliner, mascara and kajal) for drama and definition.

Define your eyes and create an illusion of a thicker lash line with smudged eyeliner. Finish your mesmerizing eye look with voluminous mascara.

Elongated false eyelashes will draw attention to your face. Make sure you stroke your lash line with a black eye pencil.

Now, fill in your eyebrows without making them look bushy to define your facial structure.

Prime and base prep

Before applying the primer, wipe off any makeup residue from your face with a wet tissue. Now, start with a pore-minimizing primer to get a flawless look.

Adding a moisturizer to your makeup kit is essential because it helps makeup last longer. Begin by dotting some foundation on your face and blending it evenly with a wet sponge.

Always use less product first and build up the coverage as needed. Lyon Beauty USA Fit And Glow Foundation is a lightweight, liquid, mattifying foundation.

This foundation range is designed to fit diverse Indian skin tones. The foundation is one of the essential beauty products for celebrations.

After foundation, conceal the dark areas of your face, like under the eye and around your mouth. Use MCaffeine Eyes On You Serum Concealer for that air-brushed, professional-level look.

This foundation is enriched with antioxidants, caffeine, and vitamin C and won’t settle into fine lines. It helps keep your eyes moist and hydrated all day long.

One of the most crucial techniques for wedding makeup is ‘setting and locking’ all the products using Star Struck by Sunny Leone Compact Powder.

This multi-tasking compact powder provides a natural-looking, matte finish. Its non-chalky texture blends seamlessly with your natural skin tone.

This product removes oiliness and doesn’t make you look like a shiny disco ball in photos. Use a contour stick to give your face a natural definition.
Pro-tip for the groom: if you have a beard, place the contour just above the beard line for a chiselled look.

Shine and Pout

Moving on to highlighter, use Disguise Cosmetics Velvet Glow Multi Stick on the high points of your face.

This multipurpose glow stick is highly pigmented yet blendable and glides smoothly to give you the desired effect.

Wear it on Cupid’s bow, cheekbones, and inner corners of eyes. Apply it with your fingers for the most natural finish.

The last step is to do your lips. We suggest using Asmee Liquid Matte Lipstick, which suits almost everyone and is perfect for an Indian wedding makeup look.

It is a paraben-free, long-lasting lipstick. Get your bridesmaid to hold it for you so that you can keep wearing it on your wedding day.

Pro tip: always use a lip liner to outline and define your lips.

Blend or brush it out

You can be self-sufficient and apply makeup with your fingers for a no-makeup makeup look, but if you want to go all out with products, you must use a makeup sponge or a makeup brush.

Makeup brushes are more helpful in building coverage, and sponges are great for a natural, seamless finish.

You don’t have to worry about choosing either, as Majestique 2 In 1 Brush & Sponge Makeup Blender is a one-stop solution for wedding makeup essentials.

This product is made up of non-latex material. The sponge has rounded sides to blend large areas of the face, and the top edge is best for contouring around the eyes and nose.

Use the brush by lightly patting it onto your skin. Makeup brush is easy to manage and reduces foundation waste and allergies.

Remember, girls, get dolled up in an outfit and don’t forget to put a bindi on your forehead as an essential accessory of ‘solah Srinagar’.

We all love makeup, but all that pressure around getting it right makes us anxious. Cossouq cuts through all that anxiety to bring you the best beauty essentials for wedding season.

Wedding makeup tips

Skincare is non-negotiable for a flawless makeup look. If your skin is glowing, you will require less makeup.

Remember, makeup is not limited to your face; apply foundation to your neck and shoulders if those body parts are visible.

If your bottom skirt has a slit, don’t forget to use liquid highlighter for shine. You can apply highlighter to your collar bones as well.

Practice your makeup look before the wedding day to avoid feeling rushed at the last minute.

Do not use foundations with SPF above 15; it can spoil your photos.

There is a fine line between the level of makeup you need for photographs and the level that will make you look confident.

Always carry a makeup kit with essential makeup products like foundation, setting powder, and lipstick for quick touch-ups throughout the wedding function.

At the end of the day, you’ll look great, smiling and enjoying your wedding day. Even though we recommend using all these products, the wedding glow is real with or without makeup.
