🎶 “Woh shaadi wali glow toh apni jagah hai, lekin nath aur highlighter dono balance mein hone chahiye, na?” 😅Because when you’re a Maharashtrian bride rocking that regal Paithani, lush green bangles, and that iconic mundavalya, your maharashtrian bridal makeup better be just as powerful. You can’t have a smokey eye running away faster than a baraati in a dance-off! 😎
Whether you’re going full traditional with the crescent chandrakor bindi and bold nath, or blending in some modern-glam with dewy base and soft contour, this blog has it all. With expert insight from MUA Mona Sharma and the The Monsha’s certified team, this isn’t just a makeup blog—it’s your bride bible 📿✨
Maharashtrian weddings are a glorious mix of colour, culture, and rituals that start before sunrise and end long after the last laddu is served. The makeup? It has to stay camera-ready through pooja smoke, flash photography, and tearful vidai moments 🥲
Unlike the OTT North Indian dulhan look, the maharashtrian bridal makeup is rooted in balance—defined eyes, radiant skin, bold lips, and a touch of tradition. Your makeup has to play well with gold jewellery, earthy tones, and silk fabrics—no neon cut-crease chaos here, please 🚫
Makeup experts (and Mona Sharma herself) recommend a base that’s matte-yet-luminous, a shimmer lid that catches light without overpowering, and a lip that doesn’t fade after the jaimala. If your makeup artist doesn’t know how to pair a chandrakor with your jawline—run 🏃♀️
Even the best makeup won’t sit well on textured or dry skin. Start your skincare game at least 4 weeks before the big day. Mona recommends:
Remember: saat phere le lo, lekin dry patches ke saath nahi, please 🙈
