How much can Indian brides experiment with their makeup?

I think as far as bridal makeup in India is concerned, it’s a little bit different than other countries. People here-—because of the culture, food, music, clothing, and textiles are a little bit more exposed to colours. In India, makeup is a celebration of not just colours but also textures and that could be translated to your look. The luxury of having beautiful golden Indian skin lets you push the envelope—it can actually take on a lot of colour without looking too gaudy or crazy. It really is just about wearing it with confidence.

Tips for a day-to-night wedding.

An Indian wedding is a celebration so I would say pick fun textures. Like glitter, for example, if you put it on the eyelids on top of your eyeshadow, it makes a great impact and is quick and simple.
