South Indian look is rich and completely classy. Don’t believe me? Check out Deepika’s look from Chennai Express or Alia Bhatt’s from 2 States. They looked utterly gorgeous. Look at these gorgeous pictures of some south Indian actresses completely nailing the look!
Here are some makeup tips if you’re going for a south Indian look
- Firstly, minimal makeup is always appreciated because of the heaviness of the sarees of the south, like Dharmavaram, Kanjeevaram, and Mysore silk to name a few.
- You can decide to go matte or glowy look depending on the type of the jewelry and the saree you’re wearing.
- If you are wearing a heavy saree, we would suggest you go for a matte look because of the look of sophistication it gives. Â
- Highlight one feature, and work on it. Fully kohled eyes go very well with the saree and you can try the smokey look and play around with colors here!
- Bold lips are also a huge hit with the south Indian look. Especially the bridal reds and berry shades and the pinks accentuate the brilliance of your saree. We recommend Mac Ruby Red for reds (BUY HERE), Lakme 9 to 5 Pink Bureau for pinks and Nyx Monte Carlo liquid lipstick for a nice berry shade (BUY HERE).Â
- Also, always plan your makeup with your saree and the jewelry. Don’t go overboard with makeup when you are wearing a heavy saree and ornaments.
- Try around various brands, like Lakme, Maybelline or Nyx till you find products that suit you.Â
- Don’t forget to moisturize and use a primer (BUY HERE) which will help your makeup stay long when you’re in for long ceremonies or weddings.Â
- When wearing a silk saree, a complete matte makeup will compliment the entire look.
- Winged eyeliners (BUY HERE) and reverse cat eyes look amazing with your south Indian outfit and the brownie point is that they are super easy to make.
