Bridesmaid duty means helping your bestie pick the perfect bridal outfit, going for fittings, deciding on a makeup look and finding the perfect jewellery. You’ll be on your toes at all times even during the pre-wedding and D-day rituals. *NEWSFLASH* This will leave you with little to no time to plan your own bridesmaid look.
But worry not, we are here to make your job easy! Instead of opting for something too bold and heavy, go for a simple yet gorgeous hair and makeup look. Because believe it or not, that’s the trend these days. Here are a few celeb-approved looks you can take inspiration from to nail that bridesmaid look.
Wavy curls and subtle eyeshadow

If you are wearing a gorgeous lehenga, pair it with effortless curls. If this is your first time using a curling iron, it's better to seek professional help; your BFF’s wedding is not the day for experiments. Keep your makeup look fresh and dewy and highlight the lids with an eyeshadow shade matching your lehenga.

Bridesmaid duty can be pretty demanding, and a good way to ensure your hair doesn’t get in the way is by tying it into a sleek bun. Add some rose flowers or wrap a gajra around it to amp up the hairdo. No matter what colour outfit you are wearing, a neutral makeup look will definitely complement it.
Sleek hair and golden smokey eyes

For the reception party, take inspiration from Mrunal Thakur who looks elegant in a saree. Pair your outfit with a gorgeous choker necklace and long, sleek hair. Instead of the regular smokey eye, add a bit of golden shimmer to the look and look oh-so gorgeous with the bare minimum.
Dewy makeup and effortless ponytail

Wait... a ponytail for your BFF’s wedding? Well, why not?! Isn’t it the most versatile hairstyle? Add a stunning hair tie or accessorise it to make it look fit for the occasion. If it's a daytime wedding, there’s nothing better than a fresh, dewy makeup look and a soft pink lipstick to go with.

Those with short hair wondering how to look their traditional best can create a half-up half-down hairstyle like Hina Khan. Keep your makeup base simple and swipe on some red lipstick. Add two coats of mascara to tie the whole look together.
