Wedding Trend Make-up Breakdown: Vintage-Glam Bride

This breakdown is done by make-up artist: Reshma Sambtani

Skin
The face is cleaned with a cucumber-based cleanser (M.A.C Green Gel Cleanser). Reshma then applies a light-weight moisturizer (M.A.C Studio Moisture Fix). She then applies M.A.C Prep + Prime Skin for an even application of the make-up.

For the foundation, she uses a blend of M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid and M.A.C Mineralize Satinfinish for an even matte/dewy look. M.A.C Studio Finish concealer takes care of dark circles and skin blemishes. This is topped with M.A.C Select/Sheer Loose Powder. M.A.C Fix + is sprayed and dabbed with tissue paper. “This settles the make-up,” explains Reshma. The nose, forehead and cheeks are touched up with M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish in New Vegas.

Cheeks
Reshma contours the cheeks with M.A.C Sculpting Powder in Shadester to give the perfect sculpted-cheek illusion. M.A.C Powder Blush in Pinch Me is applied on the cheekbones.

The effect: A lot of sheen and certain compliments for a stunning bridal glow!

Eyes
Reshma accentuates Katrina's eyes with shades that complement her ensemble. M.A.C Prep + Prime Eye ensures that the make-up does not bleed, fade or crease. M.A.C Pigment in Tan is applied all over the eyelid and blended at the outer ends. Next is M.A.C Pigment in Your Ladyship on the browbone. M.A.C Pigment in Pink Bronze is applied on half the eyelid beginning from the outer edge. To add drama, the outer edges are touched with M.A.C Pigment in Dark Soul. We apply M.A.C Pigment in Golden Lemon in her lower lashline. A thin line of M.A.C Fluidline in Blacktrack is applied on top lid and inner rims of eyes and finally, 4-5 coats of M.A.C Splashproof Mascara make the eyes stand out. No false lashes please, stresses Reshma. “There are emotional moments that follow, and false lashes will only lead to disaster.”

Lips
The eyes are the focus. So the lips have been kept simple, they are lined with M.A.C Lipglass Pencil in Pink Edge. M.A.C Slimshine Lipstick in Pink d'Lush is applied all over the lips, to give them a sheer pink-coral tint.
