The ultimate wedding makeup guide for grooms
India, Nov. 22 -- Gone are the days when wedding prep for the groom meant just a haircut and a perfectly pressed suit. Today, weddings are meticulously documented events, and the spotlight no longer shines only on the bride. Groom makeup is a rapidly rising trend, aimed at subtle enhancements that ensure the groom looks his absolute best and complements his bride. But don't worry, gentlemen! Here's a handy list of dos and don'ts to keep in mind while getting your makeup done:
Sculpt subtly: If you choose to contour or bronze, apply a small amount under the cheekbones and along the jawline for natural definition.
Groom your brows: Comb your eyebrows and lightly fill in any sparse areas with a brow pencil that matches your natural hair colour.
Define your eyes: A touch of clear or black waterproof mascara can subtly define your lashes, without looking like you're wearing makeup.
Use lip balm: Finish with a plain or lightly tinted lip balm to keep your lips hydrated.
Use setting spray: A mist of setting spray will eliminate any powdery appearance, and help your look last longer.
Over-sculpt: Harsh, dark contour lines are a no-go. The definition should be so subtle that it's barely noticeable in person.
Shimmer or glitter: Shimmery bronzers or highlighters can look unnatural on male skin. Stick to matte or satin-finish products.
Forget your ears and neck: If you're wearing base makeup, lightly blend a damp sponge over your ears and neck to ensure an even tone.
