If you go right now and ask your mother about her wedding and the bridal makeover experience she will tell you how it was not a big deal back then and probably she visited a nearby Beauty Parlor or someone from there visited her. There was no pre-bridal shoot, No candid photography and neither anyone had to worry about posting photos in social media. What mattered during the wedding back then was Food and how welcoming the host was.

Today! Everything has changed, Weddings are events and they are done with crisp detailing. Everyone has become image-conscious and they want to do everything they can to make the wedding fun, entertaining for the guests and a memorable event for the bride and the groom. So be it a Sangeet function, Mehndi or the actual wedding everything is organized and done to perfection.

Bridal Makeup on the other hand has become an absolute must and brides want it to be customized and done very professionally. 15 years ago most of the Indians had a fetish of looking fairer as they were told since the beginning – Fairer you are more beautiful you look. Even today we get mothers asking to make their daughters look more fair “ Thoda aur gora kardijiye”

Bridal Makeover in a beauty parlor is no longer considered a cool thing, everyone wants to hire a popular professional makeup artist. They want to look great and ready to experiment.

While full-time makeup artist who only does makeup is usually doing makeup on clients or practicing and creating new art almost every day. They have trained for months and practiced for years. They are the specialists who continuously upgrade the techniques and products while in a salon beauticians are still doing the makeup of the 1990s.

This is a new age where we have specialists for everything and clients prefer going to the specialists for best results. Almost every brides wants to look the best on her wedding day and since stakes are really high they are preferring Professional Makeup artists. The style and taste of makeup has changed considerably, Most of our brides do not demand to look fair neither, and if they do we counsel them. Brides want to look gorgeous, grand and amazing and yet they want natural finish with a glow. The idea of looking like a doll is old age.
