Bridal Makeup Kit Essentials-Part Two (Eye Makeup)

| Bridal Makeup Kit Essentials-Part 2 (Eye Makeup) |
Hello
Beauties!
As
promised, I am back with Part-2 of Bridal Makeup Kit- Eye Makeup. In the
earlier post (Bridal Makeup Kit Essentials Part 1-Base Makeup), you have seen
how important it is to get the right products to achieve that flawless face on
your special day. Today’s post, we shall be concentrating on those dreamy
peepers- Yes, the ones which makes your man go weak on his knees and are the
focal point of any bridal look: Smokey, peachy, golden, heavily kohl-ed:
however you choose your D-Day eye-makeup to be, we are here with suggestions of
the perfect products to achieve those looks. Read on and jot down!
1.
Eyebrow
Definers: The BASIC and a very essential part of a face makeup is a pair
of defined but natural looking eyebrows. Most “parlor-walis” cover the bride’s
eyebrow with foundation and make them go grey. It looks GHASTLY in pictures. Throw
away that black eyebrow pencil you have bought. Black eyebrow pencils give
the most unnatural look. You perfect choice (for most Indian skin tones) is
a dark to medium brown shade for
defining your eye brows. You best bet is a matte brown eyeshadow used with a
small flat angled brush to define your brows. Also, Maybelline has the perfect
brow definer in budget called “Fashion Brow Duo” which has a retractable pencil
one end and a sponge tip which dispenses powder to set the brow makeup.
Available in two shades for Rs.245/-
Elegant Eves Suggest: Instead of investing in expensive
brow kits, just make sure you have a good matte brown eyeshadow and a flat
angled brush. On heavily primed bridal makeup face, brown eyeshadow itself
stays put till you remove it. For quick fixes during other functions, the
Maybelline Fashion Brow duo should work

2. Eyeshadow: This is one makeup
item for which you actually have MILLIONS of options available. To keep you
sane, we have listed the ones easily available easily even online in India and
which are very good in pigmentation and stays for long. Check out palettes from
Makeup Revolution for a huge variety. Stock one in neutrals (both shimmer and
matte shades) and one in bold colors. Two should be sufficient. If you are not
an eyeshadow person in daily life, you can try out Coloressense Mono
eyeshadows. They are INTENSELY pigmented (Check review HERE). You can also opt for the blush-highlighting-eyeshadow palettes
from Makeup Revolution available on Jabong.com. These would be cost effective
as well.
Elegant Eves Suggests: Instead of spending thousands on
mono eyeshadows from high-end brands, choose a palette from the ones mentioned
here. They deliver good results and the golden shades from these palettes would
serve as highlighters too! (The highlighter used on me on my wedding and
reception was a golden eyeshadow too)

3. Eyeliner: A jet black
eyeliner should be in the vanity of EVERY Indian bride. We have listed our
three favourites: Maybelline Colossal Liner (A precise felt tip pen for ease of application with jet black liquid
liner for that perfect winged line), Makeup Revolution’s Amazing Black eyeliner
(read review HERE) and Maybelline gel eyeliner (for that ultra
intense and non-smudging look; can be doubled up as kajal too).
Elegant Eves Suggests: Do not skip on this essential. Perfectly
defined eyes in pictures need that black eyeliner. Maybelline Colossal pen
eyeliner will be perfect for the other functions in wedding too.

4. Kajal/Kohl: This is one
ancient beauty item which still holds a special place in our hearts. It is
probably the first “makeup” thing we used. We have chosen three kajals
available in Indian market which gives intense pigmentation, stays long and is comparatively
smudge free. Maybelline Colossal, Lakme Absolute Kohl and Faces Canada eye
pencil in Solid Black. Colorbar I-glide pencils are very good too.
Elegant Eves Suggests: Never forget to “set” your kajal
on your lower lashline with a layer of black or matte brown eyeshadow so that
it stays put for long without smudging

5. Colored eye pencils/ Kohls: If you are one
of those fuss-free brides who do not want the hassle of eyeshadows during each
and every function of wedding, colored eye pencils should keep you sorted J Choose an
emerald green, a midnight blue and a deep purple from Lakme eyeconic pencils, Colorbar
i-Glide pencils and Faces Canada. These three colors suit almost every Indian
complexion beautifully. They can be used on lower lashline for that pop of
color or smudged on upper lashline for that eyeshadow effect.
Elegant Eves Suggests: Never wear only colored pencil on
your lower lashline. Have a slight lining of kajal first and use the colored
pencil BELOW that to get a defined look in pictures

6. Mascara: Finally the
magic wand which COMPLETES any eye makeup J A bride without
those fluttering eyelashes is somehow incomplete ;) I am personally not a fan
of false eyelashes and that’s why I prefer mascaras which give volume, length
and curl all in one. Two of my favourite mascaras are Rimmel London’s Lash
Flirt Mascara (Read review here) and
L’oreal Million Lashes mascara (Used on both wedding and reception). Another
personal favourite is the Maybelline Colossal Volume express mascara. All of
these come well under Rs.1000.
Elegant Eves Suggests: Do not hesitate spending on this
one. This product ACTUALLY makes your eyes look fresh during the entire ordeal
;)
