A Shift Towards Natural, Dewy Bases
More brides across Ahmedabad are moving away from very heavy, matte bases and asking for a natural, dewy finish that still photographs beautifully. This look uses lightweight, buildable base products that let the skin breathe while still providing long-lasting coverage for a full day of functions. It works especially well for daytime ceremonies and outdoor mandap setups where harsh, cakey makeup tends to look unnatural in bright light.
- Lightweight, buildable base instead of heavy full-coverage foundation
- Cream-based blush and highlighter for a natural glow
- Setting spray used instead of heavy powder for a dewy finish
Bold Eyes Are Back in Focus
While bases are getting lighter, eye makeup is taking centre stage. Bold winged liner, statement eyeshadow in deep jewel tones, and detailed lash work are popular choices for reception and evening functions. Brides are pairing dramatic eyes with softer lips to keep the overall look balanced rather than overdone.
- Jewel-tone eyeshadows in emerald, wine and copper shades
- Precise winged liner paired with soft, nude lips
- False lashes chosen to suit eye shape rather than one generic style
Draping and Hair Styling Matter As Much As Makeup
Brides today plan their hairstyle and draping alongside their makeup, not as an afterthought. Soft waves with floral or jewellery accents, and sleek low buns for a more contemporary look, are both trending depending on the outfit style. At Kalgi Beauty Parlour, we always discuss hairstyling as part of the bridal makeup trial so the complete look comes together cohesively.
- Soft waves with floral or jewellery hair accents for traditional outfits
