Mahira Khan's minimal makeup for the wedding festivities
Traditional bridal looks have always been about embracing maximalist trends - deep kohl-lined eyes, bold eye shadow, striking lip shade, and heavy jewellery. However, Mahira Khan ditched these and set the bridal beauty bar high with minimal barely-there makeup looks. For her wedding, Mahira opted for a muted cherry-toned lip shade, feathered brows, sleek winged eyeliner, a hint of rouge on the cheekbones, dewy base, mascara on the lashes, and highlighter to complete the glam. Pearl, polki and gold-embellished choker necklace, mang tika, and earrings.
During the Dua-e-Khair, Mahira embraced the blush-base makeup trend (or the Strawberry makeup trend taking over TikTok). She styled the gold and white Hyderabadi joda with glossy fuchsia pink lip shade, matching subtle eye shadow, mascara on the lashes, feathered brows, rouged on the cheeks and nose, dewy base, and a centre-parted messy hairdo.
Lastly, for the Mayun ceremony, Mahira glammed up the orange and green gold gota patti-adorned anarkali suit with similar strawberry makeup-inspired glam picks.
What do you think of Mahira's barely-there, no-makeup looks for her wedding? As for us, this fresh and no-fuss look should be on every bride-to-be's radar for her big day.
