0 My Indian Brides

For the past couple of years I've been lucky enough to work with some very beautiful Indian brides and the one trend I keep seeing over and over again is a toned down bridal Indian makeup look compared to the time-honoured traditional Indian bridal looks.

Don't get me wrong...I love the bright and exotic colours that have made Indian makeup famous worldwide. The Bollywood glam look is stunning when done well (I do LOVE it) but in general many Indian brides are looking for a cleaner more natural appearance for their wedding day and for the most part, this is what my Indian brides ask of me.

I have quite a few Indian weddings coming up this summer that I'm really looking forward to. Two weddings where I'm with the bride her entire wedding day and return the next day for a second ceremony. I will be sure and upload more Indian bridal images onto my website this summer to show you some of the fantastic looks I'll be doing.

Last summer I was lucky to have met a wonderful bride called Natasha. Natasha is from Vancouver (where I seem to be getting lots of brides from this year too!) She had a busy couple of days with 3 ceremonies! Yes, 3!!! She had Muslim, Hindu and Christian ceremonies. I know!! It was a crazy couple of days but so much fun. Natasha really wanted clean natural looks but with some drama which I think was achieved. She just sent me this photo from her Hindu ceremony- thank you very much Natasha!

Come by next week when I'll be talking about tanning!
To Tan or Not to Tan before your wedding day is the question....
