Anushka Sharma’s Makeup Artist Decodes All Her Wedding Looks

Hey guys,

So VirushkaKiShaadi has been trending everywhere since days and I won’t talk about the same venue, pictures, etc., I personally loved her makeup and outfits throughout i.e. all the days.

All her outfits and jewellery were by Sabyasachi. For makeup, she had Puneet B Saini with whom she has been working since years. They have done 7 movies and lot’s of events and promotions together.

Anushka had booked Puneet for 5 days and she had no idea about the wedding, a day before their travel 😀

So let’s decode her wedding looks, by each function.

Puneet says ‘We were in great weather so I was sure the makeup wasn’t going to move. Also with Anushka, the makeup usually stays on, we only had to touch up the lipstick. It only took us about 1.5-2 hours on each day (to get her ready), with hair and makeup going on simultaneously.’

Ring ceremony

Anushka wore a burgundy velvet saree for the ring ceremony. Puneet says ‘For the ring ceremony which was a night event, we wanted to keep the lips nude and eyes smoky. I wanted her eyes to be striking but not just have a whole lot of black around the eyes. We used a gradation of colours, my favourite aubergine and a brown with red undertones. I didn’t want the entire eye to be covered, just till the crease of the eyes.’

Mehendi

She chose a bright orange and pink lehenga with a floral crop top for her mehendi. I absolutely loved how vibrant and colourful the outfit was, perfect for a ceremony like mehendi. Puneet says ‘For the mehandi, she was wearing a lot of colours so we kept the makeup fairly basic, very wintery with cream blush, minimal makeup and lots of mascara. All the attention was going to be on her mehandi and clothes.’

Wedding

She wore a blush pink lehenga with floral detailing and intricate work all over. It’s one of the most elegant lehengas I have seen, and she carried it off beautifully with matching jewellery, both by Sabyasachi. Puneet says ‘On her wedding day, the outfit was so beautiful and royal and the entire setup was a page out of a princess’ diary. We didn’t want the makeup to be too smoky or with heavy liner. I kept it very soft, we used a brown kohl and smudged it, shadows in peach-pink tones and lots of mascara. As a bride, you have so much happening on your wedding day, to balance your hair, makeup, outfit and jewellery. I’d say I wanted her to look like herself on her wedding day, that was the aesthetic. We didn’t want the makeup to look anything like it did on the night of the ring ceremony, we wanted a complete contrast. We wanted it to enhance her natural beauty.’

Apart from the ring ceremony which was a night event and she went for smoky eyes, for both mehendi and the wedding which were day time events, her makeup was very soft and natural. I have never seen a celebrity bride with simple, no fuss, beautiful and all natural makeup on her wedding day. Kudos to her to go for what she likes and not give in to peer/society pressure of looking super heavy and all decked up on the wedding day.

I myself went for natural makeup on my wedding day and I love it when brides go all natural. As the outfit and jewellery is anyway heavy, natural is what looks the best because you don’t want to add heavy makeup on heavy outfit and jewellery. But yes, to each his own. If you like heavy makeup, then surely go for it, as it’s your most special day 🙂

I liked each of the three looks and I can’t choose one. I loved the mehendi outfit and of course the wedding day. Her outfit, makeup and jewellery was all perfect on her wedding day but the most special thing was her smile from ear to ear 🙂

P.S: I do not own the images

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Bride in the Making Pics

Hey guys,

Remember I had announced in my previous post that Cory Walia is my Bridal MUA who is a part of Lakme Absolute Bridal Dream Team.

Let me tell you I was very nervous. I thought he would be very moody types or something but I was so so wrong. He was very very sweet and warm. A very down to earth and jovial person. We both are Sagittarians :p We chatted a lot and he made me feel quite comfortable.

Starting with the goof ups, he and his team members Poonam and Priya already reached the venue at 9am even before we reached :/ And I still had to sit for the pre wedding mandva puja which took another 40 minutes or so. We had ample time to get ready so that was not an issue, but still I did not want to make him wait. He was very calm though and had his breakfast peacefully.

Later on when we started with the makeup, my jewellery box went missing. I was going nuts :/ My friends and family took rounds to home to check while all the time it was in the same bag right in front of us and no one could find it :/ Yes, all this usually happens on the day of your wedding. Something similar happened with my bhai’s sherwani on the day of his wedding 😀

Finally we found it, and untill that time we did the basic makeup,etc. Jewellery was required before hair for the maang tikka etc placing.

I also learned some tips and tricks for him. He said I am the first bride he is working on who knows so much about makeup and makeup brands and is so knowledgeable,that he loved doing my makeup 🙂

Here are a few pics of ‘in process’ :p

After the base, Cory used the Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Compact to set the base. He used the Face Stylist Blush Duos and Lakme Eye Quartet.

He made a slight wing with the Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate and lined the waterline too with it. (I love it too..was carrying only this liner/kajal for my honeymoon)
