Whether you are an experimental bride or a minimalist one, choosing your wedding day makeup is a tricky one. We all want to look like ourselves but with a sprinkle of glam that enhances our best features. And as one of the most classic eye makeup looks, a smoky eye will surely help you take it up a notch. Promise, this isn’t going to end up looking like you’ve got a black eye.Expert makeup and hair artist Vithya Visvendra has cracked the code by swapping out the heavy black eyeshadow for muted tones of brown. A personal favourite of the artist, the brown smoky eye look enhances the shape of your eyes and blends in perfectly with brown skin tones. This keeps it minimal yet glamorous, a perfect choice for a modern bride. Without any further ado, let’s dive into Vithya’s recommendations to create the magic.
