Anushka Sharma’s Makeup Artist Decodes All Her Wedding Looks

Anushka Sharma’s Makeup Artist Decodes All Her Wedding Looks

Hey guys,

So VirushkaKiShaadi has been trending everywhere since days and I won’t talk about the same venue, pictures, etc., I personally loved her makeup and outfits throughout i.e. all the days.

All her outfits and jewellery were by Sabyasachi. For makeup, she had Puneet B Saini with whom she has been working since years. They have done 7 movies and lot’s of events and promotions together.

Anushka had booked Puneet for 5 days and she had no idea about the wedding, a day before their travel 😀

So let’s decode her wedding looks, by each function.

Puneet says ‘We were in great weather so I was sure the makeup wasn’t going to move. Also with Anushka, the makeup usually stays on, we only had to touch up the lipstick. It only took us about 1.5-2 hours on each day (to get her ready), with hair and makeup going on simultaneously.’

Ring ceremony

Anushka wore a burgundy velvet saree for the ring ceremony. Puneet says ‘For the ring ceremony which was a night event, we wanted to keep the lips nude and eyes smoky. I wanted her eyes to be striking but not just have a whole lot of black around the eyes. We used a gradation of colours, my favourite aubergine and a brown with red undertones. I didn’t want the entire eye to be covered, just till the crease of the eyes.’

Mehendi

She chose a bright orange and pink lehenga with a floral crop top for her mehendi. I absolutely loved how vibrant and colourful the outfit was, perfect for a ceremony like mehendi. Puneet says ‘For the mehandi, she was wearing a lot of colours so we kept the makeup fairly basic, very wintery with cream blush, minimal makeup and lots of mascara. All the attention was going to be on her mehandi and clothes.’

Wedding

She wore a blush pink lehenga with floral detailing and intricate work all over. It’s one of the most elegant lehengas I have seen, and she carried it off beautifully with matching jewellery, both by Sabyasachi. Puneet says ‘On her wedding day, the outfit was so beautiful and royal and the entire setup was a page out of a princess’ diary. We didn’t want the makeup to be too smoky or with heavy liner. I kept it very soft, we used a brown kohl and smudged it, shadows in peach-pink tones and lots of mascara. As a bride, you have so much happening on your wedding day, to balance your hair, makeup, outfit and jewellery. I’d say I wanted her to look like herself on her wedding day, that was the aesthetic. We didn’t want the makeup to look anything like it did on the night of the ring ceremony, we wanted a complete contrast. We wanted it to enhance her natural beauty.’

Apart from the ring ceremony which was a night event and she went for smoky eyes, for both mehendi and the wedding which were day time events, her makeup was very soft and natural. I have never seen a celebrity bride with simple, no fuss, beautiful and all natural makeup on her wedding day. Kudos to her to go for what she likes and not give in to peer/society pressure of looking super heavy and all decked up on the wedding day.

I myself went for natural makeup on my wedding day and I love it when brides go all natural. As the outfit and jewellery is anyway heavy, natural is what looks the best because you don’t want to add heavy makeup on heavy outfit and jewellery. But yes, to each his own. If you like heavy makeup, then surely go for it, as it’s your most special day 🙂

I liked each of the three looks and I can’t choose one. I loved the mehendi outfit and of course the wedding day. Her outfit, makeup and jewellery was all perfect on her wedding day but the most special thing was her smile from ear to ear 🙂

P.S: I do not own the images

He is also a blogger, not very active now I guess. But he is amazing at his work, just needs more time as he does things slow and with detail.

How I found the best Bridal Makeup Artist in Delhi

How I found the best Bridal Makeup Artist in Delhi

Guest Post

Which is the most awaited occasion of one’s life? There may be many such occasions but the most special and most awaited one is the Marriage. Wedding Day is very special day of one’s life and everyone wants to look most gorgeous, most beautiful on her D-day. I too had different dreams and different expectations for my D-day, but more than me, my parents were excited for the same. They were all busy, preparing for the various ceremonies, hiring different service providers and a lot more.

As a Child, I always wanted to look great on my D-day. By the grace of God, I was blessed with a pretty face and great personality. Still, you need someone to help you in enhancing your looks with great makeup abilities and skilled hands. I and Arunima who is my best friend, sister from another mother, partner in crimes and everything, decided to look for some professional Makeup Artist. It was very difficult to find a Professional Bridal Makeup Artist in Delhi as here there are numerous professionals and to choose the best among them is the most tedious job.

Arunima suggested me to go for Lakme Salon or VLCC Makeup Parlour. But to my utter despair, they didn’t provide home services rather you have to visit them in order to get ready. I was not ready to visit them as I wanted to adore myself at the ease and satisfaction of my home, so I asked her to get some professional who can visit us. Now, that was the challenge. Still she decided to help me. We started the hunt for the Best Bridal Makeup Artist in Delhi. We went to the famous parlours in our locality, but were not satisfied with the quality of their makeup products. Few of them didn’t have portfolios and some of them were just pathetic at their work. We also visited some of the posh localities to discover some classy yet in-budget makeup artist, but all were efforts went to vain. Neither Arunima nor I was satisfied with their work style and portfolio. It was just a month left and I was unable to find any good professional for my makeup. The thought was enough to shake my patience and I was really panicked at that situation.

UrbanClap brought us the best Bridal Makeup Artist

Both of us were strained out and were sitting in front of our respective laptops, searching for the best Bridal Makeup Artist in Delhi on the company listing sites like Just Dial and Yellow pages. The very few of the contacts which we received from these sites were either fake or the quality of their work were not up to the mark. We were very disappointed with the kind of service providers we met on these websites. We were very tired up with this bridal makeup artist hunt and I and Arunima decided that we will use our skills to get ready on my D-day. Arunima suggested me to watch some Makeup videos on You Tube so that we can have an idea about the products which can be used and the way it must be applied. I agreed to her and we logged in to You Tube to find some of the great videos describing the Bridal Makeup. As soon as we played the first video there came a pop up ad of UrbanClap with a tagline, “Find the best service Providers in your town, that too at one tap.”

I and Arunima both looked into each other’s eyes and yes, it was decided that we have to download the same app. I took my phone and opened the apple store for the iOS devices. There I found the UrbanClap app and clicked on the download button. The superfast JIO service just took few seconds to install the app on my iOS device. I opened the app and filled few of my personal details and requirements meant to get registered on the app. I must say the app is very user friendly and very smooth. After getting registered on the app, I typed Bridal Makeup Artists in Delhi in the search area in order to find the professional Makeup artist. As soon as I tapped on the search button, to my ultimate surprise, there flashed a huge list of Bridal Makeup Artist who were present in Delhi NCR. Now unfortunately, it was again a headache to filter the best among all of them. But that was my thinking, truth was a bit different and I must say finding the professional from UrbanClap was a cake walk.

How to find the best Bridal Makeup Artist from UrbanClap?

When I saw that huge list of professional’s flashing on I Phone’s screen, I was a bit scared but soon I realised that with every professional there were some ratings which they got from their previous clients. Now that was easy to understand and I started filtering them on the basis of their ratings and reviews they received from their clients. After refining them on the basis of the ratings and reviews, I took the pain to send them the e-mails asking them for their price quotes, as now we had to stick to our budget before deciding for our prospective bridal makeup artist.

Arunima was very surprised when she saw the portfolios of the professionals we received along with their price quotes. We reviewed their portfolios a several times and calculated the budget according to their work and finally decided for a professional. Personally, I will suggest that while looking for any service provider from UrbanClap, you must read their reviews and compare the ratings. They will help you a lot in landing for the best professional you need.

Why UrbanClap?

Why you want to choose the best? Is there any answer for this? I hope no, we choose the best because that is the best. You should try UrbanClap because it is the best app which is bridging the huge gap between the needy service seekers and the skilled service providers. 

We finalised the professional and called him for the meeting. Looking into his work portfolio more deeply, and believing on his words we finalised him for my makeover on my D-day. Getting him was my luck and I am just thankful to the whole UrbanClap team for letting me get the most skilled professional Bridal Makeup Artist in Delhi for my Wedding day. He just turned my pretty face prettier and all the photographs of my wedding day and other ceremonies were just perfect. He proved what he said and I was too happy with his work.

Mr. Amitabh Tripathi and his whole team from “Gorgeous” studios are highly recommended by me to everyone who wants a makeover for any occasion. They are the best at their profession and will never let you down. They did everything with ultimate precision. The makeup products they used were very light and skin friendly. UrbanClap got me the best Bridal Makeup Artist in Delhi and I am really thankful to both the “Gorgeous Studios” team and the whole UrbanClap team.
