The Secrets for Asian Bridal Hairstyles

The special day is not too far away and with everything else you have on your mind, you must think also about your hairstyle as well.

Asian women have some rules and methods of doing their hair and applying makeup, which are an advantage.  Be a beautiful brief and choose some Asian bridal hairstyles.  Asian women are very beautiful and distinctive in their appearance.  Believe it or not, you can easily implement some cultural and traditional characteristics in your Asian bridal hairstyles without looking making mistakes that might look funny.  Keep reading to find out more.

Pay Attention to Detail When Doing Asian Bridal Hairstyles

When you plan on taking an Asian bridal hairstyle or any bridal hairstyle for that matter, you have to remember that you won’t have time to correct it on the day.  So choose a hairstyle that will stay put through all the dancing, moving around and nodding your head.  Choose a professional hairdresser and good quality products.

Asian bridal hairstyles are in tune with Asian culture where people are modest, clean and clear.  Your hairstyle should reflect this.  Massive tiaras, sparkling jewellery or braids all over your head are completely out of the question.  The most important thing is to pick a hairstyle that suits your character and the spirit of the wedding.

If you are a nature lover, why not consider putting a few cherry blossoms in your loose bun or in your naturally curly hair.  If you like a clean line and you are a bit of a perfectionist, then a nice tight bun or a ponytail is the way to go.  Even a half-up, half-down is suitable for anyone as long as you personalise it with a nice veil, a nice antique pin or some flowers.

A Few Problems with Asian Bridal Hairstyles

You can pay respects to your tradition by choosing one of the great Asian bridal hairstyles.  But, as an Asian woman, you are familiar with some of your hair’s characteristics due to your genetics.  Most Asian women have straight hair which is difficult to curl.  So, maybe you should think twice before starting to add lots of curls. 

You don’t want to spend your wedding day or night worrying about your hair all the time.  Also, think of the shape of your face when you choose a style.  Asian women usually have an oval or round face, so avoid choosing a style which would shorten your face such as a bang or a soft bob. 

You may also have problems with thin hair, so it would be great for you to have a layered hairstyle which give your hair a rich and voluminous look.

Your Asian bridal hairstyle should be special, but be careful not to overdo it.  If you already have a great and unique hairstyle that shows your personality, a nice pin or veil is more than enough.  Less is always more when it comes to Asian bridal hairstyles. 

What Else to Take Into Consideration When Choosing an Asian Bridal Hairstyle

Make sure that you choose a style that suits you, suits the style of the wedding, your wedding dress and the jewellery you plan on wearing.  It may seem quite a challenge, but if you plan and work carefully and think things through, you will have no problem choosing just the right Asian bridal hairstyle for you.  Browse the Internet, consult with friends and family and look through magazines.  Best of all, consult the professionals at Z Bridal Studio!

Pakistani Bridal Makeup Tips for The Big Day

The Big Day has arrived!  Since you were a little girl, you have always dreamt about your wedding day and here it is!

Everything should be perfect; the dress, the flowers, the hair, the ceremony, the reception, the groom (of course!) and the makeup.  Every bride wishes for the best.  Regardless of whether the ceremony is traditional or modern, the bride is the centre of the entire event.

Here are a few tips on how to have perfect Pakistani bridal makeup and be radiant on your wedding day.  Let us help you to make your day truly unforgettable.

Two Months Before the Wedding

Let us start at the beginning.  We begin here because the makeup on the day of your wedding is only a result,   an end of a process, not the beginning.

In order to have perfect Pakistani bridal makeup, your preparations should begin at least two months before the wedding day.

The first and most important tip we can give you is to drink lots of water.  Drink at least 10 glasses of water daily.  This will have a truly beneficial effect on your skin, hydrating it and make it look healthy and shiny.  No makeup can do this for you.

Secondly, clean, tone and moisturise your skin.  Start using non-alcoholic cleanser to clean your face every morning and every night before going to bed in order to remove the dirt that has accumulated.  It also opens up the pores and lets the skin breathe.  After cleansing,  apply non-alcoholic toner on your face and your neck.  Finally, apply good quality face cream to help your skin stay hydrated.

It is also important, before you go out, to apply good quality sun protection cream (SPF15 or SPF30) in order to protect your skin.

Be sure that these tips will help you turn your face into the perfect canvas for applying the Pakistani bridal makeup.

One Week Before the Wedding

At this point you must have chosen your wedding dress already.  Modern Pakistani brides tend to make a blend of both traditional wedding dresses, which are colourful and beautifully made with embroidery and many fine details, and modern wedding dresses with more subtle details.  Regardless of the style you have chosen, your makeup should match your outfit.

If you have chosen to have your makeup done by a professional makeup artist, then you should visit them one week before the wedding and them what you want, since they might not be acquainted with Pakistani style bridal makeup.  But, if you are planning on doing your own makeup or some other friend or family member is there to help you, then it is important to make a plan.

First, buy everything you need for a perfect bridal makeup, Pakistani style.  Buy a concealer, foundation, eye shadows in the tone of your outfit, waterproof mascara, lip balm, lip-gloss, lipstick, eye pencil, and different types of brushes for applying makeup.  

Second, so a trial makeup.  In this way, you will be able to see what suits you best and what colours and shades you should use depending on the colour of your dress.  You can then be sure that you will be able to do everything necessary on the wedding day with no unpleasant surprises.  

Last of all, calculate the time you need to complete your makeup.  This will give you the advantage of knowing how much time it will take to do your makeup on the wedding day and will make it easier for you to make plans for other activities such as doing your nails, hair, getting dressed, etc.

Wake Up!  Your Wedding Day Has Arrived

The first and most important thing to remember is, Don't Panic!  Maybe this will be easier said than done, but try to stay calm.  If you stay calm you will avoid ruining all the hard work you have put in so far hydrating and  providing care for your skin.  You should be rested, relaxed, and enjoy this most special day.

Do all the morning rituals - clean, tone and hydrate your skin.  Then the preparations can start.  

Consider doing your makeup first and your hair afterwards.  Apply hydrating cream, then a foundation that matches your skin tone and put a little concealer under the eyes.  Do not use foundation for this, since it would emphasise dark circles under your eyes.  Also, go easy on the foundation.  Do not apply three or four layers as your makeup would look heavy and look unnatural.

Bridal makeup in general, and Pakistani makeup in particular, should give you a natural and elegant look, emphasising the best features of your face.  Put some foundation on your eyelids and the process may now begin.  

Shape your eyebrows, using an eyebrow pencil or an eye shadow close to your natural eyebrow colour to beautifully contour your eyebrows.  Then start applying the eye shadow.  Use matt shadows as a foundation and then apply more shimmery and glowing shadow that matches the colour of your dress.  

Your next step is to apply black or brown eye pencil on your lids and under your eyes.  This will give your eyes a beautifully defined look.  If you have thin eyelashes or you are going for a more glamorous look, apply false eyelashes.  They will give your eyes a cat-like shape.  Apply the mascara in two layers.

The next stage is your lips.  Use a special pencil and draw around your lips to fix the lipstick and the lip-gloss.  Use a lip liner which is close to the colour of the lip-gloss in order to match the two colours, and which will give you a natural look.  Apply lip-gloss matching the tone of your lipstick to make your lips sparkly.

Apply matt, gentle pink or bronze blush to emphasise your cheekbones and then you are ready!  Try not to sweat or cry to keep your Pakistani bridal makeup in perfect condition.

We are sure that you will look stunning!

The last tip - Enjoy this!  Your special day!
