Bollywood isn’t just for entertainment; it also has a significant influence on how we go about beauty and fashion. Almost all brides-to-be throughout the country choose Bollywood as their top wedding inspiration source. Today our main focus is on makeup. We’ve gathered the best makeup looks from the most iconic onscreen Bollywood brides that you can get inspired from for your wedding.

Rani Mukherjee in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (2006)

Rani’s bridal look, which included a minimally flawless base and striking kohl eyes, ushered in a vibrant blend of traditional and modern fashion. The cherry-red fitted lehenga and the contrasting jewellery went perfectly with her makeup.

Aishwarya Rai in Jodhaa Akbar (2008)

Take a hint from Aishwarya’s subtle makeup, which emphasised her eyes with a matte brown eyeshadow and a faint line of eyeliner on her upper lids, if you want to leave all the heaviness to your lehenga and jewels. Pink lip colour and a crimson bindi were the finishing touches to her ensemble. The key to this look is letting the jewellery and outfit take centre stage, with the hair and makeup acting as complimentary accents.

Alia Bhatt in Two States (2014)

In the movie 2 States, Alia Bhatt portrayed a lovely South Indian bride. She had the right amount of makeup on—just enough kohl-rimmed eyes, flawlessly blended concealer and foundation, with very few undertones of pink or coral blush, and a lip colour that complemented her outfit.

With her perfect foundation, concealer, blush, and highlighter that blended with her complexion to give her skin a stunning “no makeup” look, Deepika looked every bit the royal bride on the screen.

Sonam Kapoor in Dolly Ki Doli (2015)

While Sonam wore a variety of bridal outfits in Dolly ki Doli, her looks as a sophisticated Muslim bride stood out the most. With metallic eyelids, fake lashes, and heavy eyeliner, she let her eyes speak for themselves. Her bridal makeup included only a highlighter and a pinkish-nude lipstick. This is a look for you if you want to go all out with your makeup on your wedding day without seeming gaudy.

Kangana Ranaut in Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015)

Anushka Sharma in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016)

Anushka defined her eyes with soft smokey eyeshadow and heavy eyeliner, and her face was given a gorgeous, healthy glow with generously flushed cheeks. She went heavy on the eyes, so a basic nude lip colour was all she needed to finish the look. This makeup look is ideal for brides who want to make a statement without wearing a lot of makeup.

Alia Bhatt in Raazi (2018)

Alia’s face looked fresh with bright and peachy cheeks and lips. Only these things distinguished her makeup. She looked sophisticated without any heavy eye makeup. When going for dark lips, a little advice is to keep the eyes and other facial features understated.

Kareena Kapoor in Veere Di Wedding (2018)

Kareena revealed the aesthetic and fashion choices of a classic modern fuss-free bride in the film Veere Di Wedding, including her baby-breath twisted hairdo, her minimum no-makeup makeup look with a flawless finish, and her nude lips.

Deepika Padukone in Padmaavat (2018)

Deepika’s makeup was kept natural in order to emphasise her best features, such as her eyes and chiselled face. As nude hues were used to highlight her sharp features without making them evident, the contouring is nearly undetectable. With her nude lips, dewy complexion, and gentle smokey eyes, Deepika truly resembled a goddess.

Alia Bhatt in Kalank (2019)

This look was all about simple yet striking components, from the delicate and seamless champagne highlighter to the tidy and minimal kajal to the accentuated eyelids and subtly bronzed lid crease and cheekbones. Her red lehenga and the bindi complementing bright fuchsia-red lipstick completed the ideal bridal look.

Kiara wore an ivory lehenga teamed with a traditional red dupatta. Her look is rounded off with heavy jewellery and minimal makeup. She added the finishing touches with subtle eyeshadow, sleek eyeliner, mascara-laden eyes, a hint of blush, and a nude pink lip colour.
