Vasisht agrees: “The trend is for the entire look to blend and be of same palette, not the colors of the outfit.” For instance, a red or bright magenta lengha can be worn with gold and bronze eye makeup and plum lip gloss. Softer outfit colors, like peach or pink, are complemented by pearly or coral eyes and rosy shades of pink for the lips, she says. And you don’t have to stick to the reds and golds, adds Raza. Branch out by considering greens, blues or purples. One color desi brides usually miss: Pink. “I never see Indian brides in pink, and it’s so flattering on our skin tone,” says Vadhera. Try her Global Goddess “Chowrasta” blush; for deeper skin tones, use the “Sattva” blush shade.
