Wedding Season Makeup That Survives Everything

Indian wedding makeup has one job: hold. Between the haldi, the dancing and the four rounds of photos, your base has to behave like it signed a contract.

Start with skin prep. A hydrating serum and a gel sunscreen give you slip without slide. Skip the heavy oils — they will separate your foundation by the third pheras photo.

Lock everything with a fine setting mist rather than powder. Powder on top of powder is what makes skin look flat under wedding lighting.

Keep a lipstick and a blotting sheet in your potli. That is the entire touch-up kit you need.
