The Minimal Makeup

Give your face a natural warmth with the bronzer from the Lakmé Absolute Facelift Palette. Apply it to the hollows of your cheeks and lightly on the bridge of your nose.

Enhance Your Features  

Keep your look toned down by avoiding heavy lip liners, khol-rimmed eyes or glitter.

Lightly enhance your eyes with just a wash of warm brown over the lids from the Lakmé Ultimate Glam Eyeshadow Palette in Sunkissed.

Let your lashes look natural. Instead of using heavy falsies, which Indian brides often pair with heavy eye makeup, opt for the Lakmé Absolute 3D Lash Volumizer.

Create fuller brows by lightly filling in sparse areas and gently combing them out with the Lakmé Absolute 3D Eye Brow Definer. It’s spoolie brush is perfect for grooming your brows and giving them a natural, bushy finish.
