While classic is a great way to go with your bridal eye makeup, experimenting is always a great idea, especially if you can pull it off and you have an MUA who can make it look apt and gorgeous. It's not always necessary to go down the gold/brown eye and red lip for brides, and you can even choose to go minimal or dramatic! Brides are doing it all over, so we thought of putting together some amazing bridal eye makeup looks we spotted which are perfect to take inspiration from. You can pick cues on how to do bridal eye makeup yourself or show these bridal makeup images to your MUA too. To keep it simple for you, we have categorised them into the following:
You can choose one depending on your skin tone and preference! So here are some Indian bridal makeup images which are perfect.
Minimal Eye Makeup
If drama is something you run away from, or are not too fond of makeup on yourself, or you simply want to look just like yourself at your wedding, then minimal bridal eye makeup is the way to go. And these days, that doesn't just mean looking like you haven't made an effort at all- it's more about looking like a better, more polished version of yourself. Nude makeup is the way to go, and here's some more inspiration on how to pull it off.

Coloured smokey eyes are also a thing now, and looks fabulous.
