Beauty tips from Donald Simrock:

Our quintessen­tial brides can sport a nude look by glamming it up. Keep your face clean and dewy using a light hydrating mousse foundation and highlighte­r, and add some vibrant colours to your eyes using an eyeshadow palette and lips using an argan oil enriched lip colour

Our bold and beautiful brides can go for profession­al techniques like colour blocking to give their eye a pop of colour using a vibrant eyeshadow palette and flaunt an edgy bridal look

Summers can be harsh on your skin and last-minute breakouts, darkening and dullness can stress out any bride. The best solution is to use a natural ingredient like aloe aqua gel before applying any skin or makeup product. This not only soothes your skin giving it a cooling effect, but also acts like a primer to even out the surface.

Outdoor functions in colourful décor are dreamcome- true for all brides. However, make sure to give your skin the necessary amounts of SPF to protect it from harmful sun rays. Opt for a light matte sun gel or a matte sun lotion

Haircare tips from Heena Dalvi:

Turn heads by using simple embellishm­ents or even flowers as hair accessorie­s that will flaunt your feminine beauty. Add a classic and gracefully styled bouffant with loose curls to enhance the effect

The best way to escape the heat is to opt for delicate braids that you can don with embellishm­ents, especially for a mehendi function

Be the quintessen­tial bride you are by opting for a traditiona­l yet easy hairstyle that will beat the summer heat. Turn to an easy low bun that will help you keep it simple and classic You can never go wrong with a stylish ponytail. Pin two bobby pins on you rubber band below your ponytail as it will give it an extra lift. This is perfect for a sangeet or a cocktail. IANS
