For small scale engagement
Soft & Romantic
A fresh, glowing and very romantic look is ideal for intimate engagement celebrations. Radiate with an inner glow on your engagement by keeping your makeup subtle and close to natural. Camouflage with concealer and follow up with awaterproof liquid foundation or mousse. Set it with the loose powder to seal a smooth finish. Add ‘allure’ to your eyes with sea green, lavender and baby pink colors for eyeshadow that compliment your attire for the occasion. Brighten them up with golden or silver highlighter under the brows.
Play up your peepers with liner, kohl and a single coat of mascara and let them completely enthrall your man. Outline your lips with bubblegum pink or any other soft shade, and fill in with the same color. For a hint of sheen on your lips, go for lip gloss. Finish off with a soft and subtle blush for a lovely rosy glow. You can also add some glitz to your look with nail art like Swarovski embellished ring finger and bright nail paints.
For large scale engagement
Go diva-licious
When it comes to grand celebrations, opulence becomes the thumb rule for everything, be it makeup or costume. Go gorgeous like a true diva for a larger than life engagement ceremony! Start off with silicon-based pre base to prep up the skin. It adds hours to your makeup and help it last longer. Now apply the foundation for a smooth and ‘picture-perfect’ complexion. Make sure you blend well for a flawless finish. A silicon based foundation is great for long wear. Get bold and beautiful with sexy, smoldering smoky eyes by smudging a copper, gold or silver eyeshadow over the eyes. While smoky eyes are safest bet for the occasion, you can also go for the graphic liner look, which is very on-trend and works well for an indoor or evening ceremony.
To add drama, you can take up the ‘oomph’ factor of your eyes with emerald-winged liner, traces of Swarovski right under the brows and a few very generous coats of mascara. Nothing frames eyes better than a lush pair of lashes. Getting lash extensions is also a great fuss-free way to have defined eyes. If it’s a night ceremony, you can add some sparkle with some shimmer. A little bronzer below the cheekbones goes a long way in fetching the chiseled look for the occasion. Balance you’re the gorgeous eye makeup with a subtle colour on the lips. Whether you choose eyes or lips, always highlight just one feature. Finish off with soft sweeps of blush on the apples of the cheeks. These apart, stunning nail art and body art (on the navel or arms) can help you dazzle like a diva.
