In preparation for a lavish Indian wedding in Mumbai, the author was concerned about their makeup coping with the humid climate, contrasting vastly with their typical New York experience. Seeking advice from celebrity makeup artist Kirin Bhatty, they learned essential tips for ensuring makeup longevity. Key suggestions included starting with a good primer, using liquid blush instead of cream, and, if needed, applying a setting spray. Embracing the vibrant and dramatic essence of Indian wedding visuals was also highlighted, encouraging creativity with glitter and bold colors to complement the celebrations.
While she signed off on my base product of choice - Danessa Myricks' Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder - Bhatty suggested I add a primer to grip it and make it last longer.
You'll want to go with a liquid formula in lieu of a powder or cream. I learned the hard way she was right: I wore my go-to cream rouge for two events before realizing it faded after an hour.
If your skin is on the oilier or sweatier side, though, I'd definitely recommend using a setting spray.
An Indian wedding calls for major drama and OTT adornment when it comes to makeup, and I wanted to lean in.
