I recently attended a friends destination Indian wedding in the beautiful city of Udaipur. Known as the Venice of the east, Udaipur really is a place that everyone should visit at some point and it’s a place I know I want to visit again. I have been able to attend a lot of Indian weddings and over time I’ve picked up some great tips and tricks for the perfect makeup products when you are the guest at a wedding. What’s important when you’re packing your makeup bag, is using products that are multi-purpose, flattering, and that will photograph well. Sometimes our favourite lipsticks or primers just don’t work for such special occasions, but my checklist is tried and tested and will not fail you no matter what you have planned:
To see how I used all these products to create a glamorous look, check out my IGTV.
Primer: Hourglass
This primer is amazing because it truly helps to keep your make up on your face through all the parties. Indian weddings have many functions and often there is more than one in a day, that starts in the evening and see you partying all the way to the next morning. You need a primer that is going to keep your make up on your face and that is also sweat and waterproof.
Concealer: NARS Radiant Concealer
This is my everyday concealer and it never fails me. I am obsessed with how this concealer has a radiant glowy finish but it also blends with my skin perfectly. The formula is light but still provides the coverage I need, especially under my eyes.
Foundation: Dior Backstage Foundation
I’ve tried and tested so many foundations but at the end of the day, I always fall back on my trusty Dior for a special occasion. It has a more dewy finish and lasts for ages.
Highlighter: Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops: Sunlight
On a daily basis I don’t usually use this highlighter because it’s so pigmented but for special occasions, and especially for photographs, it works wonders. A little will take you very far and you only need to apply on your cheek bones, bridge of your nose and above your lips.
Blush & Lipstick: Code8 Miss Saigon
Multipurpose is key! This pencil is a blush and lipstick in a lovely dusty rose. For some occasions, I even used it as an eyeshadow that I enhanced with my palette. Perfect for on the go touch ups.
Bronzer: Guerlain Terracotta Shade 2
I have spoken about this bronzer so much. I actually use it as a blush to enhance the colour on my cheeks and then on the bridge of my nose for more definition. It’s subtle and natural!
Eyeliner: Chanel Stylo
I love the long lasting formula of this eyeliner and I also like the design of the pen, it makes it easy to hold and easy to draw onto your eyelids. The perfect tip for a cat eye as well! Pro Tip: Place a small mirror on the table and look down into it to be able to see your eyelids properly.
Eyeshadow: Charlotte Tilbury La Dolce Vita
I have a lot of favourite eyeshadow palettes but when I am travelling I always travel with the same Charlotte Tilbury Palette. It has every colour you need to create either a natural look or a smokey eye.
Finishing Spray: Clarins Fix Make-up Spray
I have spoken about this so many times and it is my favourite setting spray ever. It’s good for your skin and makes you seriously glow in a really beautiful fresh-faced sort of way. A must have in my opinion.
