Every girl wants to look flawless with/without make-up. Reasons to go for makeup - experiment with colours, get a new look everyday and feel happy inside with a sense of achievement! I know tons of non make-up girls who feel make-up is a necessity, a little effort can drastically transform you into a diva in minutes.

But these girls have problems - real serious problems! What colours go with what skin tone, Skin looking even more dull after applying make-up, time crunches, nasty habbits (very much normal) like rubbing your eye every minute. The list is endless.

Wait.. This is still a bridal blog!! I just want to convey that it is essential for a bride-to-be to learn a few basic make-up techniques to overcome these problems. TheDelhiBride wrote a beautiful post on why a BTB needs to know a little about make-up and her make-up experiences.

My take on it:

You can appoint a MUA once, twice or max thrice throughout your wedding. But what about all the other small functions? Do you want to look like you are attending a friends ceremony? (I am sure you will look & feel special no matter what but a little make-up will add that oomph to it!) I recently got to know that I will have to change 5 times on the day of my wedding. Yes you heard it right - 5 TIMES IN A DAY!! I dont have that much time & money to ask the MUA to stay with me through the day. Solution: DIY light make up.

If you get the hang of it, you can ask the MUA to use your own tried and tested products on your precious skin. You dont want a rash/allergy to show on your wedding day right? Also, you will always have products with the shade which is closest match to your skin tone.

Even after a lot of practise, if you are still not confident, you can hire a relatively cheaper MUA for smaller functions. Ask her to use all your branded products. These MUA's with a good experience, do make-up with great technique. They are cheaper just because they dont use high end products.

Even if you do not become an expert in this field, you will know the do's n dont's. This will be very helpful during MUA trial sessions.

This one is funny, but these beauty bloggers make it sound so exciting. You get to know some cheapest and the best products available in the market, easy to do tutorials, etc.

Disclaimer: I am a strictly no make-up girl. In fact a few years back I remember saying that I need no make-up on my wedding. I own a lot of stuff but never have the patience and time to experiment in these sectors (Moreover, I always failed in my attempts!) But, its my wedding and I want to look & feel perfect. If it takes me to wear make-up - so will I! :P

What do I do?

I am in process of buying the right beauty products. Having trials at home after office. I am getting better slowly and steadily.

When it comes to make-up, I feel - If I can do it ANYBODY on this planet can do it!

As requested by you all, I am back with a post on my wedding saree. While I was thinking about it, I thought why not make it a wedding album. Don’t worry, I won’t bore you gushing about every detail. I will just stick to the outfit and jewellery aspect of it. Here we go.

Haldi Ceremony:

Indian+Maharashtrian+Bridal+Special

Please ignore the dead pale look on my face. I was just one month out of hospital after a small surgery. I decided to wear something very light for haldi due to two reasons, 1. I was still very weak and 2. My family has a tendency not to leave any single exposed part of the bride’s body devoid of haldi. So, I chose this contemporary tusser silk saree in yellow, with some red and blue.

Haldi jewellery

I am wearing a chanderi dupatta called as “Shela” in Marathi. It is a very specific dupatta manufactured by the Chanderi weavers of MP. I searched for it high and low, but was told that they have stopped manufacturing it due to no demand. Finally, I got it ordered from Chanderi. I am wearing traditional Marathi neck piece called “putala.” Its sort of like laxmi haar as seen in temple jewellery, but different in a sense that the gold coins are woven into black thread overlapped with gold reshim thread. The nose ring or “nath” that I am wearing is again a very old piece that was passed down by my mother. Its a very traditional Marathi jewellery piece.

Haldi decor

I did my own makeup for haldi as I knew it was a waste of money to hire a professional. I would have been covered in haldi by the end of the evening!

Saree from : Ranjana boutique, Baner road. Pune

Jewellery : Family hirelooms.

Sangeet Ceremony:

Sangeet saree 2

I had to attend my Sangeet ceremony immediately after haldi. So, I kept my makeup minimum. Just tinted moisturiser, blush and smokey eyes. The saree I wore for the event was a super light Khaddi georgette Banarasi saree my father chose for me. I accessorised with simple emerald and pearl chaandbali and maangtika.

Saree : from Kasath saree shop. Karve road Pune. (They will gauge your knowledge of sarees before they start showing you their more unique and rare pieces. Otherwise, they just roll out regular pieces).

Jewellery : Hyderabad.

Shoes : INC5

Make up : Nars Orgasm blush, MAC tinted moisturiser, NARS eyeshadow in black with Hashmi Kajal. On lips – MAC Fanfare lipstick.

Wedding:

As mentioned in my previous post, I wore a carrot colour Uppada saree for my wedding, something that my Baba chose for me. I am blessed with a family whose men have an excellent taste in handlooms and textiles.

I specially made the dull gold tissue dupatta from net tissue Banarasi fabric. It is lined with tissue pipping and golden ribbon.

Again, traditional Marathi jewellery piece called “Thushi.” It was made in Kolhapur, which has the only remaining artists who can make these dying designs. The second neck piece is a Laxmi haar from south India. It falls into Temple jewellery format. It is made out of coins embedded with goddess laxmi images. The haar was a gift from my husband. The green bangles I am wearing is the traditional Marathi “chudaa.” Each bangle is handmade. It is always brought from Kolhapur after being blessed by goddess Mahalaxmi of Kolhapur.

Chudaa

The jhumkas I am wearing, are a rip off of a Tanishq design. Tanishq have huge making charges. So, I got it done from my family jewellers in Pune at a better rate than Tanishq. The kamarband is pure silver which my mother got polished in gold to match my saree. It is heavy, again an antique find from our jewellers along with the huge Payals (not visible). I finished off with my favourite nose ring!

I love mogra and jasmine, so I did the traditional bun and loaded it with mogra gajras. Tip: if you have a established family jeweller, ask them to keep an eye out for desperate sales. Mine always calls us if he comes across any such piece that cannot be replicated.
