Here’s what winter wedding makeup looks look like!
Just like most of 2020, a lockdown wedding with social distancing restrictions in place most likely did not feature in any of our fantasies.
But yet, here we are embracing the new normal world of winter weddings with contactless dining and lockdown-inspired bridal ensembles. Surely a lot has changed with socially-distanced weddings and so have makeup trends! As restrictions on social movement continue to define our lives in times of a pandemic, the usual round of trial sessions to get that perfect makeup look has unfortunately been curtailed.
No matter the scale of the wedding this winter, makeup is certainly of prime importance. After all, the event is one of the most photographed and documented one.
While wedding makeup will always be high on glamour, that does not necessarily mean it needs to be particularly over the top. For those of you who have decided to take your beauty look for the day in your own hands, here’s all you need to know about the beauty trends of today’s intimate winter weddings!
Haldi makeup ideas!
Makeup for Haldi ceremony presents a multitude of trends, from dramatic to demure. But when it comes to the Haldi ceremony this winter, we are not getting distracted by the once-trending, overbearing makeup.
Wedding day looks were once invaded with completely-masked, glittery makeup. However, this winter, how about we hone in on a classic, minimalist look and opt for a more toned-down look since the affair has gone to become a lot more intimate.
We suggest a Hollywood-inspired fresh makeup: Peach tones all over, accentuated eyes, soft-toned lips and glamorous hair. So take the clean and neat route this wedding season as we lean towards minimal makeup for the Haldi ceremony, and focus more on perfecting the skin, and less on the use of too many products. Let’s shift our emphasis on prepping and hydrating.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to nail that Haldi look:
-
Step one:
-
- Start with a clean canvas before you apply your primer. Consider an illuminating one instead of a mattifying primer.
-
Step Two:
- Prioritise a delicate, dewy finish. The idea is to look bright, not white. If you have a good complexion, a thin veil of dewy coverage using a tinted moisturiser or BB cream is all you need to rock this look.
-
Step Three:
- Top it off with a foundation. Foundation should always look like a second skin – effortless and flawless. Light up your look with the luminous sheen of Kiro’s Prism Perfect Highlighter, infused with highly reflecting micro pearl pigments.
The perfect Sangeet look for your next winter wedding!
When it comes to Sangeet, a bold lip or a dramatic eye makeup look is usually the best way to add colour to your face. So pick a colour that you feel comfortable in, one that is all you! Choose from Kiro’s shades of Live-In Creamy Matte Lipsticks – Gold Dust.
Create a transfer-proof and long-lasting look which is perfectly in line with the new need to wear a face mask—so keep things water-proof, sweat-proof and happy tear-proof. Flushed cheeks are non-negotiable for Sangeet, if you ask us!
Pro tip: Use Kiro’s Glow-on Blush Duo for a youthful, fresh and melt into your skin look! A light contour will definitely go a long way. Preferably, consider a liquid bronzer, just two or three shades darker than your skin, for a subtly sculpted effect. Blend it into the hollows of your cheekbones to put together a naturally stunning face. You may even go as far as using a powder to fill in the brows. The front should not be overfilled with colour, focus on the arch instead.
Traditional wedding look!
Traditional makeup is all about playing with the eyes. The eyeshadow shade matching the hue of your lehenga is an absolute no-no. Take subtle references from the embroidery or embellishments of your outfit, and use it as a hint of colour. The eyes are the essential feature here, with brides indulging their whims and going all-out with a dramatic liner cutting across the crease of the eye.
We recommend brown, earthy palettes as sure-fire winter winners for bridal makeup. You can even summon a shimmer with a wash of gold, bronze and copper. Steer clear from jarring black kohls, instead opt for soft brown smokey eyes with Kiro’s Longwear Brightening Eyeshadow Stick. Top if off with a water-proof mascara without a second thought.
Slay the intimate winter weddings!
In our opinion, when it comes to your winter wedding look skincare takes priority over makeup. So make sure to pamper your skin in preparation for the upcoming wedding season and leave the rest up to Kiro’s wedding essentials in your makeup kit.
While much has changed this year, the desire for ladies to look like their absolute best—glowing skin, bold eye makeup et al—at weddings, no matter the guest-list or location, is unwavering.
Soft glam is the name of the game. Peachy-pinks make for the perfect finishing touches and lipsticks should be about longevity. So ditch the glosses and pick a cream-based or matte formula from Kiro’s range of all-natural and clean makeup that is just as good for you as for the environment!
