Bridal Trends 2011 [Vogue India]

On the most important day of your life, transform into a bridal goddess everyone will remember for years to come. Say goodbye to over-the-top bridal make-up that will embarrass you every time you flip through your wedding album, and hello to the beautiful Indian bride with just the right amount of make-up. Take a cue from the lovely Deepika Padukone, who has a gorgeous take on bridal beauty with dewy cheeks, shimmery eyes and a glossy pout.

Get the look: Start with a clean and well moisturized face and apply a foundation primer to ensure your make-up lasts all through the ceremony. Use a creamy, long lasting concealer to cover any dark circles or blemishes. With light strokes, blend the foundation in circles over your skin to get an even base. Dramatic eyes and a bronzy skin make Deepika look like a perfect Indian bride. To achieve this, sweep some bronze-gold eyeshadow over your eye lids and draw an extended eye liner wing with a black eye liner. Create drama by lining your water line and draw a thick line close to your lower eye lid. Accentuate your eyes by using some fake eye lashes and sweep a coat of intense mascara. Create a bronze glow by using a blush on the apple of your cheeks and dust a bit of bronzing powder over your face for a glow-from-within complexion. A creamy lipstick and a coat of high shine gloss complete the look.
