No Indian wedding is complete without a mehendi ceremony. And over the years, this ceremony has gotten grander. Yes, it’s no longer a ghar ka affair. Couples celebrate their mehendi ceremony on a larger scale, calling all of their friends and families to be a part of it.
Every bride goes through tons of Instagram pages, magazines and puts in a lot of time for her research to get the best dress, hairstyle, shoes and accessories for her mehendi ceremony. All these things are in her control and she can look into it herself if something doesn’t fit her needs. But one thing that she can’t really control is her makeup. Most brides rely on their makeup artist to add glam to their looks.
We thought we would help them out a bit with some must-know tips to help them look their ravishing best on their big day. So, without wasting any more of your time, here’s all you need to know about this:
1. Keep it Natural
