Kerala Bridal Makeup

Kerala bridal makeup is very subtle. It’s all about keeping it natural as most of the wedding ceremonies take place in the daytime.  If you are soon to become a Kerala bride, here is how you can ace the makeup game.

It almost gets impossible for the bride to take care of her skin amidst all the hullaballoo of the wedding. Stress, improper diet and irregular sleep cycle take a toll on the skin and cause zits and under eye circles. But, you need not worry. That’s what makeup is for.
You can hide your blemishes using a concealer. Cover your dark circles or other darker areas of your skin as you form the base for your remaining products.

Take a foundation in a shade that’s one or two shade lighter to your skin tone. Apply It all over your face and neck in dots. Now, using a brush or your fingers, blend it nicely.
In order to select a perfect foundation, you must seek an expert’s advice.

Apply a layer of loose powder to set the foundation.

Eye makeup can also be done before application of concealer.
First, you need to prepare the base and for that, you need to apply an eye primer on your eyelids. You can also use a foundation for this purpose.

After preparing the base, you need to tame your eyebrows. Using a brown coloured eye pencil, fill your brows. Don’t go overboard with it as it may spoil your entire look.
As Kerala bridal makeup is all about simplicity, you should always use neutral eye shades. Using an eyeshadow brush, apply the shades on your eyelids starting from the inner corner and moving to the outer corner. The shade should be lightest at the inner corner and darkest on the outer corner. Blend it nicely.
Apply a lighter shade under the brow bone. Now apply eyeliner and kohl. Kerala bridal makeup involves less drama and hence, you need to keep the liner thin and sans a wing.
Finish the eye makeup with mascara. Apply two coats of mascara to define your eyelashes.

To give your cheeks a peachy blush, use a blush in light pink or peach shade. Using a brush, dab it on your cheekbones.

Dust some powder again to set your makeup. You can use a translucent, loose or pressed powder for the purpose.

Use a bronzer and apply it on your cheekbones, temple, bridge of your nose, the bow of your lips, and chin. It would offer a dusky glow to your whole makeup.

Line your lips using a lip pencil and then fill it using a lipstick. Use a natural lip colour to complete your Kerala bridal makeup.

Apply a coat and blot it using a tissue paper. Apply another coat. You can apply a final coat of gloss or keep the lips matte.

Adorn your forehead with a gorgeous red bindi as no Kerala bridal makeup is complete without a red bindi. A perfect red bindi will surely steal everyone's heart and elevate your entire look. 

When it comes to hairstyle, Kerala brides do not like to break their traditions. The Kerala bridal makeup features traditional south Indian bridal hairstyles like the braided bun, updos and messy waves with floral accompaniments.

Braid your hair and complete your hairdo with beautiful white flowers. You are all set to turn the heads.

Tips to keep in mind

  • For a perfect Kerala bridal makeup, the overall colour profile is kept soft and warm, while accentuating the bride’s features that even complement her bridal attire. 
  • A unique selling point for a South-Indian bride is the eye makeup which is non-dramatic yet wholesome to create perfect harmony.
  • A traditional white and gold Kanjivaram saree adds the touch of glow to the overall bridal makeup.
  • Often muted colours are opted by brides for attires so that they can be defined with beautiful gold jewellery as well as stunning bridal makeup and hairdos.
  • The South-Indian bride is brimming with traditional beauty with slight charcoal eyes that highlight them as well as contouring that elevates the features of the bride. 

Kerala Bridal makeup is unique, stunning and effortless as it enhances your natural features more and provides definition to it. A Kerala bride evokes images of a graceful and confident bride adorning stunning special day silk saree and fresh flowers in her hair. Though different in the cultures and traditions from North-India, such elements complete the bridal look in a similar sense. We hope that all the tips and steps of our exhaustive list of Kerala bridal makeup helped you in achieving the desired glam you want for your big day.
