Bright colors, dancing with your family, copious amounts of chaat and just fun all around ! Whether you are having a tiny mehendi in your living room, or an all out Mela - mehendis are the one time you can push the boundary and go the funky route when it comes to makeup.  I mean, how many times will you wear the same gold eyeshadow and pink lipstick combination right?

This one is super effective and you can do it at home ! Pick a bright lipstick like a fuschia pink or bright coral, take a green liner pencil and line your lower lash line with it. Add a black liner on top, some mascara and you are set WMG Loves: Colorbar I Glide eye pencil in Jade Green, Mac Vegas Volt lipstick (If you are fair/ medium skintone), Mac Speak Louder (if you are darker)
  • Use Gajra or Baby's breath in your hairstyle

Braid your hair into a mass of loose curls, and then wrap Gajra around it for a traditional yet funky vibe . If the Gajra look is too traditional for you, you can scatter loose petals into your braid for a stunning, delicate look.
  • Match your sunglasses to your lipstick

Go ultra funky with accessories, and just forget the eye makeup. Wear your sunglasses and make your lipstick match them. Love the pale lip with the nude glasses in the photo above.
  • Glittery smokey eyes

  • Go Rustic
