The Do’s and Don’ts of Pre-Wedding Look

Go Full Coverage: High-definition cameras capture every little detail, including spots and blemishes. A full-coverage foundation is your best friend to ensure a flawless, picture-perfect finish.

Instead, opt for a matte finish foundation, like the Lakmé Xtraordin-Airy Matte Real Mousse Foundation. Set your base with the Lakmé Showstopper Collection Rouge Bloom Setting Powder.

Blend It Till End: Harsh blush or contour lines stand out on camera and can take away from your natural glam. Use the Lakmé Absolute Makeup Master Tools - Dual Ended Blush and Contour Brush, for precise product application and easy blending.

Keep Your Touch-Up Handy: Make sure to carry your carry your compact powder and lipsticks for quick touch ups. This will ensure your bridal makeup stays fresh even when your shoot goes on for hours.
