Hi I am Meenakshi Dutt and today I am going to show you an Indian engagement look.
Our bride is definitely wearing a one piece dress which is actually a very traditional
outfit compared to Indian outfit. The colours and the whole theme is very Indianized.
Her whole look is going to be actually a slightly modern but with the touch of Indian traditional
look which we can't go away from. Because definitely it's a function it's an
engagement where we have to keep in mind the tradition and the culture.
So we are going to start with her with a little concealer.
Now I am blending the foundation into the skin.
Any foundation you use for the bride make sure that it should have good concealing power.
It should conceal the blemishes, make the skin even and also give a natural and a soft
look. The more blending we do of the foundation
the more even the face looks... ...and the more it lasts.
Now we will set it with loose powder. The loose powder consistency should also be fine.
It should not leave too much colour on the face...
...but should set the foundation and give an even tone.
We can work towards contouring a little... ...if required. Some faces are sharp...
...features are sharp enough. But a little bit contouring helps in all kind
of faces so that whatever little features that don't stand out with the simple foundation
get defined again. Now we will start working with the eye makeup.
We are going to use a goldish cream eye shadow on half the eyelid.
We are using a slightly shimmery highlighter. And we are going to fill in the eyebrows now.
A little hint of red which definitely we are going to reduce because I don't want the "shagan"
look to look like a bridal look. Now we are going to enhance more of gold...
...the creamish gold. We are going to blend it with a little more
smokey brown to reduce the redness. Very fine soft glitter...
...under the eyes again smokey brown. Add in the kohl.
Kohl always accentuates the eyes very beautifully. And in all the traditional Indian functions
it adds in to all the Indian features. Soft, very soft peachish blush.
Its light because you want the bride on the engagement to just look very "glowey" very
pretty. Soft simple liner in outward stroke.
It is just enough... ...not very thick because it's an engagement
function. A soft coat of mascara.
Soft lip liner in a nude colour. I am lining the lips with it.
Just filling in the lips with liquid lipstick. A little peach with the nude always enhances
the complexion and gives a very doll kind of look which is just perfect for the "shagans".
We will just finish the look with high defenition gloss.
Just little in the centre. Now this is like what I have done on her like
a very soft look. On engagement or "shagan" what we have to
keep in mind that the base or the makeup, or whatever we do should hot be very jarring
to the eyes... ...because what happens is everybody comes
close to your face. They talk to you like this... you know.
The stage is definitely smaller... it's a little more personal function.
So you know you are actually in close quarters with people...
