Most Pakistani bridal makeup looks I have come across have been breathtaking. There is something very distinctive about their style of dressing for weddings. They all look elegant and trendy at the same time. Although inspired by the Arabic makeup style, the Pakistani brides are always less harsh looking. After looking at many photos, I have come to understand that most of these looks follow a specific pattern, and I will deconstruct that pattern for you.

Pakistani Bridal Makeup Tips:

We will break down the signature Pakistani bridal makeup into three parts.

The Face Makeup:

The Pakistani bridal makeup always utilizes contouring and highlighting techniques to emphasize their elfin features.

The most common factor about Pakistani bridal makeup is that their skin looks flawless and chiselled. They all do perfectly matte finish base and heavy contouring to bring their typical bone structure into focus. They probably use 2-3 shades of foundation on their skin on the different parts to do contouring.

The blush is always a very rosy shade, and it is usually applied beneath the cheekbone to highlight the bone structure even more. They also use a generous amount of highlighter on the higher parts of the face, like the nose bridge and the top part of the cheekbone, to further prominence.

The Eyes Makeup:

The Pakistani brides usually fill in their eyebrows using the right product suited for their skin colour and hair colour and set it with a brow gel. The eyebrows are rarely sparse, unlike Arabic makeup looks, and always have a youthful, full look.

In this type of makeup, the eyes are usually the main focus, and the usual looks follow a common formula. The face usually matches the outfit and uses 4 colours. There will 2 contrasting colours that match the dress, one highlighter colour and then a dark brown or black to intensify the look.
