Being a soon-to-be bride can be stressful. With all the wedding prep and details you have to already look into, concentrating just on yourself, albeit important, can get hard. For a bride, the way she looks and feels on her wedding day is very important, amongst other things. Everyone wants to look their very best on their big day and the way one's makeup is done often plays an important role in facilitating that. Unless you're one of the few brides opting to do their own makeup on their wedding day, the makeup artist you pick
1. Namrata Soni
Any list that compiles all the top makeup artists in one place has got to start with Namrata Soni - a name we're all familiar with, thanks to Sonam Kapoor. If you like natural looking makeup with a flush in your cheeks and pink lips, Namrata Soni is the one whose work you should be looking at. She is responsible for some of Sonam Kapoor's most memorable looks. Her signature style seems to involve makeup that'll look like it's barely there while still enhancing your features greatly.
Having said that, Namrata Soni is also not one who shies away from experimenting. She keeps up with trends, as can be seen from the metallic cat-eyes she tried on Sonam last month.
2. Sandhya Shekar
If you've been loving Deepika Padukone's soft and dewy makeup lately, you should know that the woman behind it is Sandhya Shekar. Sandhya has on many recent occasions managed to make Deepika look even more radiant and flawless than she already does. Slightly smokey eyes and nude lips seems to be Sandhya's signature style.
3. Puneet B Saini
Anushka Sharma's wedding makeup and look was much appreciated and loved by almost everyone. Puneet B Saini, Anushka's wedding makeup artist, deserves a round of applause not just for discretion but also for how flawless Anushka looked.
Puneet has also worked with stars like Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor. If you've wondered how Alia always has that natural glow on her face, Puneet is to be given some credit there.
Puneet seems to focus more on making the eyes pop, while keeping the rest of the makeup as natural and radiant as possible.
4. Daniel Bauer
Most popularly known for creating some of Deepika Padukone's most iconic looks, Daniel Bauer has also become a favourite with many other Bollywood stars. Bauer has a way of making every woman he works on look timeless. Now that's something every bride definitely wants on her wedding day.
From Deepika Padukone to Katrina Kaif to Priyanka Chopra, Daniel Bauer has worked his magic on many a Bollywood leading lady. His signature style seems to be clean and soft, often featuring a winged liner.
5. Shraddha Naik
If you're a fan of glittering eyes and glossy lips, Shraddha Naik is the woman you need to be following. Shraddha has worked on celebrities like Sonakshi Sinha, Athiya Shetty, Parineeti Chopra and Shraddha Kapoor, amongst others, and we all know how these beauties usually turn up looking. The kind of makeup she does would be perfect for a day mehndi and also for a glamorous night sangeet.
