The Beauty Edit
SUMMER BRIDES For this weeks Beauty Edit we speak with the Rukash Raza ( a Lahore based makeup artist & head of Rukash Salon) to learn about summer bridal trends, the do’s & don’t of summer makeup. The key to success:
Plan Plan Plan Step
Starting with skin prep is the first stage for sure. Getting regular facials according to your skin type makes a huge difference to the skin’s texture & though makeup covers skin flaws and enhances features, it cannot make up for uneven texture. Lets say if you have dry skin, your makeup with not turn out as smooth as it could be or if you have acne-prone skin, no amount of makeup can completely camouflage bumpiness. No-one should have to face such problems on their wedding day & if you prepare your skin months in advance, the result will be much more desirable.

Step
Prepare a touch-up kit! A pro makeup artist might guarantee tthat your makeup will last all night but it’s essential for every bride to have a touch up kit.. First up to avoid happy tears from ruining your makeup have some cotton swabs & tissue on hand. Translucent powder is another must have especially in the summer! Lastly, the lipstick that matches closest to the color you’re wearing (or ideally the exact lipstick shade you have on) is necessary for touchups.
3
Remember that colour is your friend, so don’t shy away from making a statement on your big day! Whether its cobalt blues, an array of ivories, turmeric or mustard tones, shades of ochre, natural blues or greens; choose a color that suits your personality (and your jora). Summer is definitely a season where vibrant colours can make a great impact. Modern makeup artists are moving away from over the top looks, and embracing minimalism that accentuates and compliments a bride’s features. For the summer bride of 2018 my advice would be to get inspired by florals or if
you want to keep it in the classic tones of red, make sure the makeup artist you choose knows how to balance your entire look. We at Rukash Salon provide variations in the bridal looks we create, so our brides have a better understanding of how different looks, colors, styles & techniques can really enhance their features. I strongly believe that the same makeup look doesn’t suit everyone, but often brides are left with a typical & monotonous look on the most special day of their lives.
