How to do Telugu Bridal Makeup

Telugu culture involves a lot of simplicity in overall wedding culture. The centre of attention of a wedding i.e. the bride is also dressed very simply. As for her make-up, jewellery, hair-do, and costume are very rich and elegant, therefore, the facial make-up needs to be very light to prevent a very flashy and over the top look.Here are basic steps using which you can do a Telugu bridal make-up all by yourself at home.

1. Cleansing:

Before starting make-up, clean your face and neck properly. This is important to remove dirt and impurities from the face and get a smooth base. After cleansing, rub ice cubes on the face to close the open pores. Apply very light moisturiser that contains no SPF.
2.Corrector:

The second step is to use corrector on spots and places like under and sides of the nose, below the lower lip, under-eyes, eye lids, jaw line and cheekbones. Apply strokes of the corrector focussing major problem areas.

3. Foundation:

Use dots of foundation all over the face and blend well with the corrector. Use a clean and moist make up pad and with slight patting motion to give the face a smooth base. Use foundation and corrector that suit your skin tine and not a tone lighter. Also note that these contain no SPF because base make up with SPF will make the appearance in photographs light.

4. Compaq:

Finally, set the base with loose powder. Apply it in the similar patting motion. Using a big brush remove the extras from face and neck to prevent the look from becoming cakey.

5. Eye Shadow:

To start with the eye make-up, apply loose powder over the eyelids and under the eyes. Apply a base colour on the lids first. Using a deeper shade on the outer corner, add depth to the eyes by blending it inwards. Then apply a glittery colour on the brow bones and blend thoroughly. If required, use another quote of the highlighter to accentuate the eyes.

6. Kohl, Eye Liner and Mascara:

Usually, powdered eye liner is used to highlight the eyes. With a thin brush, apply powdered liner on the eye lids and under the eyes. Then with a liquid liner, apply a thin outline on the eye lids. Use mascara on upper and lower eye lashes and finish the eye makeup with the final touch of Kajal.

7. Eye Brow Corrector:

There are various options to choose from on the way you would like to enhance the eye brows. You can use powdered liner, black eye shadow that has a little glitter, Kajal pencil or eye brow pencil to deepen the eye lashes. This makes the eyes more prominent and bright.

8. Blusher :

On the cheek bones, use a nude blusher or the ones with very light pink or peach undertones. Avoid using dark shades; those make the appearance darker. It is basically just to enhance facial features. Use a few strokes on the nose, under chin and on forehead too. This makes the face glow when photographed.
