This makeup style exudes a polished appearance, perfect for daytime weddings as it reflects light, enhancing the bride’s glow.

2. The regal red
one are the days when South Indian brides were confined to white, golden, or yellow-hued sarees for their weddings. Today’s modern South Indian brides are embracing a bold twist with regal red sarees and matching makeup. Pairing a red saree with vibrant red lips using De’lanci Aesthetics Matte Lipsticks, along with bronze eyelids accentuated by dramatic kohl and liner, creates a striking look. Adding an overall metallic wash elevates the ensemble to exude a truly regal aura.
3. Teaming with pastel colors
If you’re opting for a pastel-colored Kanjeevaram saree to be a trend-setting bride, consider adding a twist to your South Indian bridal eye makeup. Try rose gold eyeshadow paired with a deep rose blush on the apples of your cheeks. Complete the look with the versatile De’lanci 25 Color Matte Lipstick Palette, which will perfectly complement the saree and heritage jewelry.
4. Minimalistic makeup
For the quintessential South Indian bridal look, embrace minimalistic makeup that allows the saree and jewelry to take center stage. Achieve a radiant complexion with glowy skin makeup, accentuated by a subtle pink blush stick. Opt for a light neutral shade of eyeshadow and line your eyes with liquid eyeliner for a timeless appeal. Complete the look with a nude lipstick, bringing the focus back to traditional elegance. Remember to consider your skin tone to achieve the perfect minimalistic makeup look.
5. The bronze effect
For a simple yet powerful South Indian bridal makeup look, focus on the eyes by incorporating shades of bronze with a hint of brown for contouring. This approach adds depth and allure without overwhelming the overall aesthetic, emphasizing the bride’s stunning eyes. Enhance the eye makeup further by applying a touch of Multi-Dual-ended Highlighter Stick under the brows, coupled with a sleek line of eyeliner to make them pop. The result is an awe-inspiring bridal look that exudes elegance and charm
