Effortless Wedding Guest Glam in Just 10 Minutes

 The 10-Minute Minimal Wedding Guest Look You’ll Love 

Ah, the good ol’ big fat Indian wedding. Whether you’re the bride’s sister, the groom’s sister, the bestie or just a part of the wedding guestlist, one thing is guaranteed: people WILL look at you. You HAVE to look good. But also, who has the time or patience to bake, sculpt and contour while you’re already running late for the baraat? Sometimes all you need is a makeup routine that can make you look like your stunning self in just minutes. 

So keep reading for the ultimate 10-minute, minimal-but-gorgeous wedding guest look. Proof that even if you’re not the bride, you can still be the vibe. 

Step 1: Base That’s Like Skin but Better 

We’ve left cakey foundations behind in 2018. Wedding glam now is all about lightweight and breathable base that looks natural but still makes you look effortlessly stunning. Start with the Dream Beauty Celestial Glow Foundation. Apply an even layer all over your face and blend it all. It’s dewy, lightweight and melts into your skin like a dream. 

Dream Beauty Tip: For a skin-like finish, blend the foundation with your fingers. The warmth of your hands helps it melt in better than any sponge. 

Step 2: Eyes That Effortlessly Shine 

With all your shimmery lehenga and shiny jewellery, don’t your eyes deserve to sparkle too? Pick up your Dreamscape Liquid Eyeshadow in Halley’s Comet or Coral Constellation and swipe it over your eyelids. Blend a little and that’s it – done in seconds! It adds a beautiful metallic shimmer to your eyes that’s subtle yet buildable. 

Step 3: Eyeliner or Kajal for Defined Eyes 

There are two types of girls at weddings: the ones who love a clean wing, and the ones who like that Bollywood-esque, kajal-heavy look. Whichever team you’re on, we’ve got you. For a cat-eye, take out your Lunation Eyeliner and draw a line across your upper lash line, flicking it outwards. And if you’re a kajal girl, grab the Eclipse Kajal and tightline your lower lash line. Rest assured this will last you through dancing AND crying sessions. 

Step 4: Lashes That Look Like Falsies  

False lashes at weddings are a cute idea…until one lash starts detaching mid-function. Yikes. Skip the panic and just use your Dream Beauty Dark Matter Mascara instead. A few coats and suddenly your lashes are longer, darker, voluminous and gravity-defying.  

Dream Beauty Tip: Wiggle your mascara wand at the roots and pull upward. Instant false-lash look! 

Step 5: Blush For a Natural Flush 

There’s something about weddings that makes everyone look extra glowy. And flushed cheeks might just be the secret behind it. So take out your Nebula Cream Blush in the shade Carina Crimson, dab-dab-dab on your cheeks and just blend. It brightens your face and makes you look like you’re blushing from within. 

Dream Beauty Tip: Blend your blush slightly higher on your cheekbones instead of the apples and it’ll lift your face like magic. 

Step 6: Glowy Goddess with Highlighter 

It goes without saying, but highlighter at weddings is simply a no-brainer. Take a few drops of the FirstLight Liquid Highlighter in Golden Dawn and apply it on tops of your cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge and tip of your nose. It instantly makes your makeup look more snatched without any contouring. 

Dream Beauty Tip: Wearing an off-shoulder or sleeveless outfit? Add a little highlighter on your shoulders and collarbones and get ready for all the compliments.  

Step 7: Soft and Luscious Lips 

Can we all agree that dry, flaky lips at weddings are simply a big no-no? For a velvety, creamy, comfortable finish take your Intuition Lipstick in Aum and swipe it on your lips. It stays put through starters, main course and obviously, that mid-dance snack craving. 

Step 8: Glossy Lips Are the Moment 

It’s the era of glossy lips and if you’re not on the gloss train yet, this is your chance. After applying your lipstick, top it up with the Solace Lip Gloss in the shade Luna. Just one swipe and you get fuller-looking lips and that shiny finish that makes your whole look come together. Plus glossy lips always look so flattering in photos. 

Dream Beauty Tip: Swipe the Solace Lip Gloss alone for a plump and juicy, sheer tint.
