Firstly, just wow! This picture is beyond perfect featuring a Maharashtrian bride all decked up in a bright Sabyasachi Mukherjee saree for her wedding ceremony. Given that this was a morning function and the saree was bright yet traditional, the bride chose a natural no-makeup makeup look which could not have been better.
Her brows are on fleek, her lips are filled in with a shade closer to her lip's natural colour and the contour and highlight are minimal, making it all seem so natural. The thick set of eyelashes deliver the much-needed oomph factor. The makeup was true to her fuss-free style while still being quite impactful. Her entire get up is perfect for morning functions or to pair with extremely traditional settings where you want the other element of your outfit to shine out!
2. Simplicity is the key!
The best advice with saree makeup is - when in doubt go simple! And this could not be more apt for them traditional and modern brides who are overwhelmed by what saree makeup look to choose. Simplicity is understandably gorgeous and often our favourite looks feature this style! So it is no wonder we picked this beautiful bride who is glowing on her big day.
With her traditional Kerala saree and red blouse, the bride chose a simple saree makeup look with a solid foundation base, eyebrows on fleek for a bold appeal she went with red lips. If you have different colours in your saree, it is a good idea to highlight the one in your blouse or the one prominent colour which pops out in your saree.
3. Ruffle it up!
