The Ultimate Indian Bridal Makeup Trousseau Checklist

Your bridal trousseau isn't just about sarees and jewellery. A well-curated makeup kit will save you during all those post-wedding dinners and family visits. Don't buy everything—buy smart.

The Essentials

1. Base

• Primer: A blurring primer to smooth out texture.
• Foundation: Stick to a medium coverage buildable foundation (e.g., MAC Studio Fix).
• Concealer: One for highlighting (lighter) and one for spot correcting (exact match).

2. Eyes

• Neutral Palette: A mix of browns, golds, and champagnes (e.g., Huda Beauty Nude).
• Kajal: Jet black and smudge-proof (essential for the Indian look).
• Mascara: Waterproof, always.

3. Lips

Pack 3 key shades:

• The Perfect Red: For festivals and parties.
• Your "My Lips But Better" Nude: For daily wear.
• A Pink/Mauve: For day events.

4. Tools

A beauty blender and a basic 5-piece brush set (Foundation, Blush, Powder, Eye blending, Angled liner) are enough.

5. Skincare Over Makeup

Invest 60% of your budget in skincare (Makeup Remover, Sunscreen, Night Cream). Good skin makes makeup look 10x better.
