The brief for your wedding day look may be clean and rooted in tradition, but the cocktail party is where you can go off-script with your makeup and let your personality can take centrestage. While minimalism has its place, these nights call for a little extra—think sculpted, shimmery, bold and unapologetically you.
“Bold lips and graphic liners are trending,” our expert panellist and international celebrity hair and makeup artist Marianna Mukuchyan tells us. “The overall mood is chic, confident and fashion-forward while still feeling celebratory”.
With our social calendars blocked with wedding invites for the coming few months, we took our midnight doomscrolling more seriously and pulled out the top beauty trends for the season. Here's the lowdown.
“If I leave my house without eyeliner, I feel like I’ve left without wearing shoes. This one from Fenty is the blackest black and the tip makes even my shaky hand look precise. It doesn’t budge, no matter how long the day is. Losing it would be a crisis, so yes, it’s always the first thing I’d buy back.” - Pragati Namdev, Studio
Is it a lip colour? Is it lip balm? Your guess is as good as ours. Promising the finish of a satiny lipstick with the benefits of lip balm, this makeup maverick manages to strike the best of both worlds. The buildable formula starts with the blotted feel of a matte lipstick and can be layered for a more intense colour payoff without having to worry about drying your lips. It’s got beeswax and vitamins E and C, bottled in an immensely wearable colour.
A night full of bold beauty calls for equally bold fragrances. Think intense notes like oud, musk, spices and woods—these are the scents that pair effortlessly with statement looks. You can layer these notes for a long-lasting, dynamic fragrance or let a single intense note stand alone. Either way, the impact is undeniable. For a night of high drama and style, the fragrance has to pull its weight as much as your makeup, hair and nails do.
