In the world of Asian wedding makeup, the transition has been slow and steady, and it would seem that the natural wedding look appears to be making a comeback among Asian brides. Brides have steadily moved away from the all-too-familiar Kardashian-look with in-your-face highlighter, sharp contours, solid matte lips,drawn-in brows, and highly glittering eyeshadows. Rather than enhancing their features, more brides now seem to be showing off their inherent beauty, by wearing subtle makeup.

Everyone will agree, however, that if there is one trait that an Asian bride should highlight, it is her eyes. Asian women are naturally born with lovely dark eyes, so enhancing this sensuous trait with a traditional flicked eyeliner or a smokey look, makes perfect sense.

Another must-have in the Asian wedding makeup arsenal is definitely false eyelashes, which truly complement the shape of the eyes.

Be inspired by Bollywood stars

Over the years, Bollywood stars have served as a huge source of inspiration for most Pakistani and Indian. What truly makes the Bollywood superstar’s wedding appearance make her ...
... stand out, is a combination of her makeup, hair or beautiful wedding attire. Who can forget the blush pink Sabyasachi gown with floral embroidery, worn by Anushka Sharma's, and her arrival with a bridal bun embellished with flowers and her fresh, natural makeup? For some years, this trend found its place on many bridal mood boards all around the world, and it is still incredibly popular.
A more natural but eye-catching cosmetic appearance was embraced by most Bollywood stars who married the last few years. Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Diya Mirza, Neha Dhupia, and Priyanka Chopra are prominent instances of the more natural makeup trend.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, there were no significant Bollywood weddings to inspire us in 2020, but all eyes are now on A-lister couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, whose marriage has been postponed to 2022. Given Alia's subdued aesthetic appearance, it is anticipated that her Asian wedding makeup will consist of a subtle yet striking look.

However, before Covid, many Pakistani superstars walked down the aisle one after another, setting several new Asian wedding makeup trends. Pakistani wedding makeup has traditionally been linked with face-altering sharp contour, deep lips, a focus on heavy eyes, and a few lighter foundation hues, but as of more recent, none of that was really seen among celebrities.

For most fans, seeing celebrities opt for a more natural bridal look is refreshing, and the trend is expected to continue in 2022 with a few minor adjustments. While heavy contouring appears to have taken a back seat in recent years, the trend of Asian brides opting for a dew-fresh look for their wedding day could be on the rise. The easiest technique to obtain a more natural and delicate glow is to blend liquid highlighters with foundation.

Preparation for your Asian wedding makeup is very important
The most important aspect of achieving dewy skin with a completely smooth appearance is, to begin with, a healthy, regenerated, flawless, and luminous complexion. As a result, brides, you might need to put in some extra effort in the run-up to your wedding day, to ensure your skin looks its best. One of the best methods to create this look is to work with a professional makeup artist for a few practice runs.

When toning down your Asian wedding makeup, you may want to highlight specific aspects that discreetly enhance your beauty. One of those features that can make or ruin a makeup look is the brows. You may have noted over recent times that insane Instagram brows are losing popularity, but remember, well-defined eyebrows will not be going out of style anytime soon and you should carefully consider the definition of your brows for your wedding day.

Despite the latest trends, a natural look is not for Asian brides, and many still prefer the more glamorous appearance with heavy, smokey eyes on their wedding day, which is just fine. There are no hard and fast laws when it comes to Asian wedding makeup, as long as your makeup is applied correctly, and your ultimate decision should be based on your heart's desire.
