Different Styles of Wearing a Saree

Bengali style

This style of draping a saree is one of the easiest. It involves wide pleats and a double-wrapped pallu that is usually used to hold a key ring. Mostly handloom and cotton sarees are used for this style. This draping style has been popularised by fashion-centric celluloid sirens.

Image credit-Pixabay.com

If you haven’t been diligent about your looks and makeup, now’s the time to begin. We understand that selecting the perfect attire for your wedding is a massive decision but choosing the right makeup is just as important. After all, a beautiful bride is the star of the occasion right.

So, all you lovely brides-to-be, grab yourself a cup of coffee and read through our definitive guide on amazing Indian bridal makeup tips. Don’t let some beauty blunders and wedding-day disaster get in the way of looking your absolute best.

Our dos and don’ts of bridal makeup tips for Indian brides will help you become Instagram-ready.

Do:
- Apply right skincare products – All the lovely brides-to-be, always go for oil free moisturiser that will keep your skin hydrated and will be the perfect base for your wedding day makeup. Also, use eye cream as it adds volume to the thin, delicate skin around the eyes and a lip balm to keep your lips moist.
- Use primer – This must-have can help you get rid of wrinkles and pores. Splurge on a primer that complements your skin tone. Apply it after skincare and before applying foundation.
- Use makeup brush to apply foundation – Try out some sample foundation before your D-Day to get the perfect look. Wear it all day long and apply in thin layers using a makeup brush.
- Opt for concealer after foundation – Apply as little concealer as possible to cover the blemishes and enhance the natural look of your skin.
- Use powder to get rid of greasy skin – Yes, powder is important to avoid oily skin. Massive powder brush can make your skin look dry.
- Avoid sparkly products – We feel eyeshadows/ face powders/ highlighters with glitters are a complete no-no.
- Define your brows – Shape your brows with a pencil that matches your hair colour.
- Highlight your eyes – Go for waterproof mascara and eyeliners. To make your eyes standout, keep your eyeshadow colours simple, light and fresh. You can opt for charcoal, navy, or mahogany in eyeliners.
- Choose flattering lip colours – The perfect lip colour can make or break your complete look. Choose wisely from bridal-friendly colour groups—nudes, pinks and reds – as it’s the most essential part of your big-day look.
- Wear blush – For an instant facelift, blush your cheeks. Choose pink if you have fair complexion, while the dark skin tone beauties can go for rosier hues.
- Go for the best makeup artist in town – You loved your BFF’s wedding look? Find out about her makeup artist. Believe us, personal recommendations are the best. If you are selecting a makeup artist on your own, avoid the ones who have a portfolio full of dark smokey eyes and bright lips. Makeup consultations are a good idea.
- DIY wedding makeup – If you don’t have the time to find a makeup artist, the awesome would-be brides can do their own makeup. We understand that wedding day makeup is different from regular makeup and has to last all day. We advise you to book a lesson with a skilled professional at least a month before the occasion to avoid any fashion blunders and know about the new beauty trends.
- Choose the right look – Heavy smokey makeup is inappropriate if your wedding dress boasts a soft colour. Go for a look that complements your attire. You can take inspiration from bridal magazines and red carpet looks to know about the latest runway fashion trends.
Don’t
- Limit your makeup just to the face.
- Use day makeup for evening weddings.
- Go for facials right before the wedding.
- Follow latest fashion and beauty trends blindly.
Girlies! Getting the perfect, modern and pretty wedding look is not that difficult when you follow our bridal makeup tips for Indian brides. So, be a style goddess and get over those wedding-day blues.

Fashion Alert: How to Look Slim in a Saree

Most men hate to admit it, but they are never satisfied by women who try to catch their attention by wearing revealing clothes.

Now, that’s a relief for women who don’t have chiseled features or a certain color of eyes or skin. It’s no secret that men prefer edgy women like Alexa Chung over curvy bombshells like Kim Kardashian. A well dressed attire, mildly fragrant body and an enchanting smile is all that a woman needs to make men go mad about them.

Why Indian beauties love the saree

Among the varied latest fashion trends in India, saree has emerged as a clear winner.

Paired with a boyfriend jacket, tied low on the waist, crafted in figure hugging chiffon or woven in traditional fabric like Khadi, the six-yard drape known as the saree is considered as the sexiest outfit that suits every body type.

With the growing experimentation with draping styles, endorsement by Bollywood starlets and an Indo-Western spin to this piece of clothing are making the younger lot of women go gaga about it. But, despite its popularity many have often wondered how to look slim in a saree.

While skinny actresses like Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Malaika Arora Khan are often seen to be draping it with a modern twist, Vidya Balan have inspired voluptuous women to wear saree to look slim and showcase the oomph factor.

Wear saree to look slim

So girls, experiment a little and end up looking a bit different with no extra effort. Check out our tips to look slim in saree and make heads turn.

Go for modern silhouettes
Get rid of those blingy blouses and instead go for contemporary silhouette. Pairing it with a kurti is an excellent way to look youthful.

Accessorise it with a belt
One of the newest and emerging trends is pairing saree with a belt. Without spending much time in front of the mirror, you can easily get that perfect hourglass shape by wearing a belt with it. If you are worried about the saree coming off, then belt helps hold it in place. This look can be adorned by anyone and particularly for women on the taller side.

Off-shoulder way
For an instant glamorous look, go for the off-shoulder way. This flatters a woman’s figure and showcases the perfectly toned shoulders. This look has a close resemblance with an evening gown and works best with lighter fabrics. To enthrall, couple it with a pair of heels.

Wear it over a pair of trousers or jeans
Reinvent the look by draping it over a pair of jeans, leggings or PJs. Get rid of the fuss of finding the matching skirt/petticoat. This look will help you create sexy style statement and become an instant hit. If restraint is not your forte, then this unique look is definitely worth your time.

Cut short the length
You can always cut short the height of the saree if you dread tripping over. It is high on comfort and perfect when you have to walk. Inspired from the tribal women look, it is best suited for the office goers.

Go for the pre-stitched saree
This is meant for those gals who want everything instantly. Just buy a pre-stitched saree and you are all set to go. Just slip into it like a skirt and look gorgeous within minutes. One of the hottest look for this season is getting your saree pre pleated or stitched such as the lehanga saree.
