The Only Guide You Need for an Effective Bridal Makeover Before Your Big Day!

Bridal makeovers often conjure up images of makeup artists and hair stylists in mind. While this isn’t inaccurate, it is missing a huge chunk of what these makeovers should have - skincare and wellness. This is because a simple makeover’s benefits literally run skin-deep. You must tackle the issues related to your skin and overall wellness if you really want to glow on your wedding.

In this article, we’ll tell you all about the same, along with tips for finding the right makeup artist once your skin looks fab!

1. The ideal place to start your bridal makeover: Your Gut!

You’ve probably heard people say that you are what you eat (which is why the animal I most closely identify with is a pig). When you’ve got your bridal makeover in mind, you must begin with addressing what you eat.  Contrary to popular belief, a healthy diet is not one that’s filled with bland food. It can be just as delicious (and as meat-centric) as you want, as long as you follow a few basic tenants.

Include the following:

• Fruits and veggies that are rich in antioxidants: oranges, grapes, and berries are a few examples of the same. Antioxidants are great for boosting the health of your skin and giving it a great glow.
• Lean meats and proteins: Discard fatty non-veg and stick with leaner cuts of meat. They are just as delicious and don’t add greasy fat to your diet.
• Lots of liquids: lemonade, fresh juices (without added sugar) and water are your go-to thirst quenchers!

Cut down on:

• Candies, chocolates, and sweets that make your skin breakout
• Caffeine – because it can dehydrate your body and make the pores on your face look larger and clog up with blackheads
• Junk food, sugars, and fried food – food with low energy value can translate to tiredness, dark circles and bags under your eyes!

2. The next crucial step: Your Skin!

Once you are sure that your diet is perfect and healthy, you can start working on treating skin conditions. The reason why it is always advisable to check your diet first is that certain foods can impact the health of your skin, causing any bridal makeover treatments to be rendered ineffective.

Visit a dermatologist in order to find out what treatments your skin needs. For instance, if you have pigmentation issues or redness, you can banish them and look your best on the big day. Many brides also opt for laser hair removal treatments so that nothing comes in the way of them looking perfect. Finally, brides who want a fair look can also visit salons and spas for bridal face packs that make their skin glow.

3. Your skin’s hidden enemy: mental wellness!

As a bride, you’re prone to a roller coaster of emotions. The stress of wedding planning, the apprehension of leaving your home and family, the excitement of a new life – there’s so much to handle! When you are not taking care of your mental health, your skin shows it. Stress and anxiety often lead to skin breakouts, depression can cause bags under the eyes, and sleepless nights can lead to dark circles.

Allow yourself to take a break every now and then from the hectic schedule of a bride-to-be, and relax. Indulge in a massage that squeezes out all your worries and watches how it all impacts your skin! Taking care of your skin can be the most crucial part of your bridal makeover.

4. Enhance your beauty on your wedding day: Makeup artists!

Once you’ve done everything you can to improve the health of your skin, that’s when you start thinking about the next step in your bridal makeover: the makeup. Bridal makeup should enhance your features, not bury it under a layer of foundation that hides problems.

When looking for your makeup artist, be sure that you find someone who understands the nuances of night makeup as well as photography. Often, brides end up with one or the other and may look stunning in person, but ghastly in images due to makeup products that look white in the camera’s flash. Therefore, don’t just get in touch with a friend of a friend! Look for someone who has completed a makeup artist course in Delhi (or the city you belong to).

Finally, do research makeup brands carefully. Certain brands like Huda Beauty, Fenty, Lakme Makeup, and Maybelline are quite inclusive when it comes to their shade range, making them ideal for Indian skin tones and a successful bridal makeover! Test out each product on your skin a few weeks before the wedding to prevent an unfortunate reaction during the ceremony!

By taking care of your diet, mental health, skin’s needs, and makeup, you can ensure that your bridal makeover makes you look your absolute best when you get married. Don’t just rely on cosmetic products – use them to show how beautiful you really are!
