When you think of a timeless bridal look, a red lehenga is most likely to come to your mind instantly. A wedding wear classic, red lehengas are considered auspicious and perfect to make a statement. The best part is the palette offers a variety of shades. This means there’s one perfect red for every kind of bride, whether she wants a bright crimson, a romantic pinkish-red shade or a subtle maroon. Although statement-making by itself, it also allows you to experiment with your makeup.

From red-on-red makeup looks to nude ones, the UK-based pro behind Ambreen Makeup has created dreamy looks of all sorts for her brides. Read on to learn more.
Bold & Beautiful
For bride Radheka Agarwal Solanki, Ambreen beautifully captured the cherry shade of her Sabyasachi lehenga to create her makeup look. Fresh base, strong brows, coppery eyes and red bold lip made up her look.
Blurry Blurry
Ambreen didn’t shy away from going all out with bride Aman either. Using the red shade of her lehenga as cue, she created not just a dramatic red lip for her, but also a bold eye look. Smoky eyes with a sharp eyeliner completed the look.
Soft & Dewy
If you want understated makeup that catches the light, you’ll love this bridal beauty look. Against a flawless base, the artist rounded it off with coppery-gold eyeshadow, soft contour, highlighted cheeks and caramel gloss.
Monotone Magic
Another subtle yet impactful look by Ambreen. Here, she let the outfit steal the spotlight with a monotone makeup look, featuring matte base, soft contoured cheeks, peachy tones on the lids and lips.
Caffeine Makeup
