Types of Indian Bridal Eye Makeup

The eyes are the windows of the soul, so why not let them speak volumes with some makeup looks up your sleeve? A little effort for your bridal eye makeup can take your look from boring to brilliant, bringing your features to life. Simple eyeshadows or a tinge of colour can vamp up your eyes just like that fairytale makeover. Featuring our very own Indian brides, here are some eye makeup looks to inspire your bridal makeup for the big day.

Old Bollywood Glamour

Remember how Bollywood beauties were known for their big hair and extreme winged eyeliner back in the 1960s? The eyes literally made them stand out on the screen. How about taking a cue from this look and using it for your wedding? Use winged eyeliner with brown or neutral eyeshadows to create the illusion of big eyes. You could indulge in some flirty flair, and also use some sexy nude lipstick for the perfect wedding look.

Peacock-Inspired Eyes

Throw in all the colours you like. Blues, yellows, purples and golds are perfect for beautiful peacock-inspired eyelids. If you are a rose eyeshadow fan, then ditch the 90s-style blue eyeshadow and prevent things from going over-the-top. If neatly done, the result could be a stunning, wedding-ready look that’ll match any colourful outfit.

Foiled and Fabulous

Who says bridal eye makeup should be all about gold? This silvery, foil-inspired technique can be as zany as gold. For this look, you could use glittery eyeshadow with a combination of navy, silver, and subtle gold tones for an intense look. Pair it with a flirty pink lipstick. You know the best part? It’ll match any Indian outfit you can think of.

The Fairytale Princess

This look is all about shimmer, fun and oomph. It’s the perfect way to make everyone take notice of your eyes in a jiffy. Ask your makeup artist to create the periwinkle effect, with an ombre design that blends blue and purple well. This magical silvery technique will definitely stand out, no matter the hour.

Colourful Under Eye

It’s only unfair to let the eyelids have all the fun, isn’t it? Brides use all kinds of colours for their eyeliner, ignoring the waterline. Flaunt your beautiful eyes by picking a bright pop of colour to match your outfit or theme. Hey, don’t shy away from deep greens or midnight blues. They are cool enough for subtle lehengas and sarees, adding that instant glamour quotient. It highlights both your eyes and your personality.

The Cut Crease

If you really are a makeup enthusiast, this look will take your breath away. Ahem, you need to be a bit courageous to pull it off confidently. This technique cuts a crease sharply with a contrasting eye shadow, creating a defined crease. Makeup artists generally use a dramatic liner to go with it, and the make this eye makeup for Indian brides very angular.

Double-Winged Eyeliner

Ladies, this eye makeup look has the classic top liner on the eyelids, but with a twist. The bottom eye shadow or line is parallel to the top liner. Use some light colour between the two strokes to accentuate the juxtaposition. This look is breathtakingly gorgeous and will add a lot of drama to your wedding photos.

Just remember ladies, don’t overdo it! Sexy eyes don’t always have to be just dark, smoky eyes. Amp up your look with these endless options when it comes to bridal makeup looks for the eye.
