One tip I can give is to invest in a good foundation. A good and dewy base is all you need to achieve that classy look for the makeup to last and look flawless! A few of my suggestions would be 'Too Faced Born This Way', 'Chanel Vitalumeire' and 'Dior Skinglow'.
Supriti Batra Makeup Studio says:
This lockdown one game changer for brides doing their own makeup would be to sport Glass Skin. Dewy glass like fresh skin with soft eyes and any tones of nude lips.
Neha Grover - Makeup Artist says:
For me, well defined brows is a game changer. Most of the people end up ignoring their brows, they fear of adding any colour to it and keep them untouched while doing makeup. Brows frame your eyes. Your eyes will look enhanced only if you have perfectly defined brows. A simple natural makeup just includes well defined brows, a hint of brown matte eyeshadow on the eyes, a soft flush of blush with a lipstick of their choice (can be nude/dark). I like 'Benefit's Precisely My Brows' and 'Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer' which is easy to use for anyone.
Makeup By Mily Kalra says:
Lockdown has changed the wedding scene across India. With minimum guests gathering and not so swanky banquet interiors, I suggest brides to go for matte and muted tones of makeup that will look chic & classy.
For making the eyes stand out, I recommend using beige or white pencil on the waterline instead of black kajal as it reduces the intensity while giving a fresher and cleaner look.

Lockdown brides who are doing their own makeup should try to keep it as minimal as possible. Remember, you are not a professional makeup artist so don’t experiment straight on your big day. Brides should consider taking an online self makeup class with a professional MUA to polish their skills. Practice on yourself 2-3 times before your big day so that you’re not making any mistakes while doing your makeup when you finally dress up as a bride. Don’t panic, have a sip of coffee, play some calming music while doing your makeup and you’ll be all set to rock your big day!

Me Being a MASCARAS’ & MISTS’ obsessed MUA, here, I share some of the tricks that I learnt over the years either from my mentors or with my own experiences.. Give these a try if you care for long, voluminous, glam, sultry, charismatic, in short WOWW lashes!
1. Brush your lashes with light-weight loose powder before applying mascara.
2. OKAY, try this out & you’ll be amazed at how one small trick can change the whole game - “Hold your mascara wand vertically & now apply strokes upwards to lift your lashes Up” (So basically use the wand vertically instead the normal-horizontally)
3. Oopss!! Your favorite MASCARA finished & has gone out of stock?? NO STRESS, just add a few droplets of contact lens solution or Refresh Tears Eye Drops to your finished tube & your favorite mascara comes back to life for few more uses!
4. I am sure you makeup lovers already know that the liquid liners share same ingredients & consistency as your mascaras. So feel free to use one in place of another. Blue mascara as a Blue liner & Brown Liner as a brown mascara!
Aarti Makker says:
One game changer tip for all my brides to look flawless all the time. So if you are looking at a very soft touch of makeup you can get it by using any foundation and adding the moisturizer and sunscreen to it. Making it work as BB cream to get that flawless look and yet not look fully covered. Using this BB effect, it will look like light or natural makeup, and yet you would be radiating always ❤️
Sneha SK Makeovers says:
I believe the brides already have that bridal glow on their wedding day which makes them look beautiful already. I would totally recommend the brides to work on enhancing their features and go absolutely subtle and dewy with their base makeup concentrating more on eyes, enhancing them by using kohl kajal or coloured pencil liner in the lower lash line. This definitely gives an oomph effect to the overall look.
MakeupbyNitika says:
Brides getting married in intimate affairs would definitely want to look the best most healthy and glowing version of themselves. Also, which is completely achievable at home. If you’re making a feature of your eyes, be it a gorgeous smokey hue or a single colour, do less on the lips and vice versa. If in doubt, when it comes to trends, keep it classic - you don’t want to look back at photos and regret your chosen look. As a basic rule if you are a cool skin tone or wear silver/white gold go for cooler shades, if you are a warm skin tone or wear yellow gold jewellery go for warm shades, and if you are a neutral skin tone or wear rose gold jewellery go for neutrals or mauve shades.
