Dance of the Peacock-Bridal Eye Makeup contest entry by Nitya

Dance of the Peacock - is a colorful look which combines bright blue and green without looking too over the top. This look can be paired with similar colored Lehngas /Saree with either gold or silver embellishment.

   

Lipstick suggestion: since the eyes are quite heavy and dramatic, it's better to go with nude lips. But this being a wedding look, nude lips might look too washed out and won't photograph well. Hence, I'd recommend glossy shimmery light pink lips. (Maybelline colorsensational lipstick in Warm me up + Bourjois 3D effect gloss in no.63)

The Hawaiian Bide Eye Makeup

The Sultry Bride Eyemakeup look and detailed tutorial by Nitya

Bridal Look : The Sultry Bride by Nitya

This look is a very sexy bridal smokey eye without looking too heavy. This looks very sultry and uses the versatile colors of gold and black so it can be paired with any colored lehanga/saree as long as the embellishments on those are gold/dull gold.

This look is very versatile and would easily go with very traditional outfits as well as stylish contemporary looks. I personally see this being paired with a red and gold outfit (the traditional Indian wedding colors)

Lipstick suggestion: Matte red lips. Even though it's a smokey eye, being a bridal look wearing matte red lipstick will go wonderfully well with this especially when paired with a red bindi how I've showed here. Again this will look best with a red and gold outfit. (Inglot lip crayon in no.21)

INGLOT FREEDOM SYSTEM LIPSTICK 49 REVIEW AND LIP SWATCH

Ever wanted to feel like a screen siren? Then try Inglot freedom system lipstick number 49! 

This is one dangerous color, perfect for the come hither looks. Definitely not safe for work and definitely not for the nubile nymphets!

This is the hottest fuchsia red lipstick I've ever worn!!! Its such a strong feminine color, that you instantly feel so womanly & its not meant for the weakhearted.

I've had this for 3 weeks now but I've been such a chicken that I didn't dare to wear it.Today I finally decided to get out of my pink & brown lippie comfort zone and be bold enough to wear it & here's the lip swatch.
