1. Cleansing is importantIf you will be embracing bold and bright makeup for your wedding, it is very important that you cleanse your skin first. Cleansing well will ensure that there is no trace of oil and dirt on your face, which will make your makeup last longer. 2. Exfoliate Your SkinIt is important to exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin and to look gorgeous on your special day. Use an exfoliating pack or use home remedies to scrub and exfoliate your skin twice or thrice a week. But do remember to not overdo it. 3. Moisturize wellMoisturizing is the key to get that glowing skin, otherwise your skin might appear dry and flaky. Use a nourishing and intensive moisturizer and work it up not only just on your face but also on rest of your body. You can also use a tinted moisturizer. 4. Protect your skinKeep your skin protected from the harmful rays of the sun. Do not step out without applying sunscreen all over your body. Generously apply sunscreen cream or spray to keep the skin damage-free. 5. Base makeupUse a primer post moisturizing to keep your makeup intact for long hours. Then use a concealer that matches with your skin tone to cover your blemishes or redness on your skin. Apply a foundation and blend it well. Use a highlighter on your cheek bones, center of the nose and forehead and also on the cupid’s nose for a glowing look. 6. ContourUse bronzer to look chiseled and sharp in the photographs. Contouring will accentuate the your features such as the cheek bones and nose but make sure that you do not overdo it. 7. BlushUsing blush will give you a more youthful appearance by adding the perfect pop pf color to your cheeks. Use a warm color that matches with your skin tone and blend it well. 8. Eye makeupYou can experiment with gold, peachy shade or heavy smokey eyes to know which one suits with your bridal attire. Experiment with every option that you have in your mind and do not play safe while experimenting with different shades of eyeshadows. When it comes to using an eyeliner, opt for the classic jet-black liner preferably waterproof instead of brown or blue or any other color. Also use some kohl and volumising mascara for that extra oomph! You can also experiment with false eye lashes to open up your eyes. 9. Lipstick tipsWear a lipstick that complements your look. Opt for a darker shade such as maroon or dark red for fuller lips, and shades of pink or light pink for thin lips, you can also use a lip plumper to get the perfect pout. 11. Beauty treatmentsAll brides deserve a pre-wedding beauty treat! Looking healthy and glowing on the wedding day is very important, but do not go overboard with skin and beauty treatments just before the wedding. If you want to indulge in some treatments do it in advance; at least six weeks before the wedding and do not make any drastic change in your beauty regimen. 10. Explain your makeup needsThe most important rule is to explain your needs to the professional artist so that you get the look you want on the D-Day. Always take up a trial session with the makeup artist before your wedding day, so that you can tweak the look as per your likes and dislikes. Another thing to keep in mind is that moderation is the key, the aim is to accentuate your best features and look gorgeous, so keep your makeup moderate and do not overdo it

The modern Indian bride is decisive in nature and wants to be in sync with the global trends. Keeping up with her requirements, designers all over are working on distinct ideas and are creating original designs for the bride. The following boutiques in the city serve testament to this. Each one of them offers bespoke bridal services, designs and collections with a trademark aesthetic while serving the bride and her entourage with the right mix of tradition, panache and exclusivity. Kavani Infantry Road Kavani is a christian bridal wear label founded by Tan Kuruvilla. The designer from Kerala started designing bridal sarees for shringar when she couldn't find good wedding saris for her wedding. The label has now launched a store in Bangalore. Their latest collection 'Varna' offers a simplistic aesthetic that is devoid of heavy stonework and glittering attachments. She states, “My collection is fully handmade and the colour palette consists of traditional colours such as gold, white and off whites, but the designs are contemporary in nature.” The designs showcased seek inspiration from the traditional Christian bridal wear of Kerala and are modelled to appeal to brides who are looking for simple ensembles in ethnic colours. Fulki Koramangala Fulki is a one stop shop for brides who are seeking a quick assemblage of their wedding wardrobe. The store consists of quintessential Indian bridal lehengas, saris, gowns, capes and dresses featuring intricate hand work in pure handlooms and fabrics such as silk, chanderi, georgette and crepes. The CEO of the label Rocky R elaborates further, "We customise at the same time we have a pret collection and a couture collection ready. If you don't have time and you want something to wear for tomorrow we got it ready today." The bridal store also offers occasion wear, menswear, jewellery and bags for the wedding. Lustre Studio Saunders road Lustre studio brings to fore the marriage of modern and contemporary silhouettes with traditional hand work and design patterns. The designer label founded by sisters Shaista Roshan and Subia Roshan offer bridal lehengas, jackets, corset saris, gowns and dresses. They feature rich work such as zardozi sequins, gold applique, bead and stone work on an unconventional colour palette such as pastels and blues. Shaista says, “We believe in making wedding outfits which can be worn by the bride later on as well and not just for the special occasion. Hence the designs include party wear pieces which can be reworked with the bridal outfit such as a jacket blouse over the wedding lehenga.” Bride and beautiful Coles Road Designer Kimi Wason of Bride and beautiful doesn't consider white as the ideal colour for a Christian wedding gown. She states, “The market is full of China gowns which are cheap and they are mostly bright white gowns that are really unflattering for the Indian complexion. Therefore, I work with off whites, ivory and champagne white." The designer uses a lot of lace, delicate embellishment work on fabrics such as polyesters, georgettes, satin and mikado fabric. The designer offers jewellery, tiaras, shoes along with dresses for the bridesmaids and the flower girl. The entire wedding can be coordinated with the bridal outfit too, as the designer has decorators, make-up artistes and hairdressers working with her.

But there is more to the city and these untold tales became the subject of Swapna Liddle's new book 'Chandni Chowk: The Mughal City of Old Delhi'. Launched on March 9 at the Annexe Court of the Indian International Centre in the presence of eminent writer Gurcharan das and William Dalrymple, it unfolds the story about "Shahjahanabad"– the present-day Chandni Chowk, which was established by the Mughal emperor Shahjahan. It is the vivid description of how the city came to its existence, its grandeur as the capital of an empire at its peak, and its important role in helping to evolve the language and culture of North India. It brings back the memories of the revolt of 1857, the invasion of Nadir Shah and the Partition. Swapna Liddle, a PhD scholar on the cultural and intellectual life of the 19th century Delhi, draws upon a wide variety of sources, such as accounts of the Mughal court chroniclers, newspapers and government documents, travellers' memoirs to paint a vivid picture of the city from its inception to recent times. Her use of pictures collected with the help of her husband takes us back to the 17th century. "It's a book which makes you fall in love with Delhi .This glorious and inglorious past of Shanjahanabad is brought to life by a historian with a light touch," says the writer of 'India Unbound', Gurcharan Singh. He later described Swapna's presentation of Shahajanabad in Baudelaire's word – 'How the sinuous gait of a beautiful women who beckons and does not yield her secrets easily.' Over the years, many writers wrote about poets like Ghalib and rulers like Aurangzeb but what found expression in Swapna's book are the women of the 17th century like Begum Samru and Jahanara. According to her, "In the 19th century many of these women were poets and writers too. Some were really powerful. But very few wrote about them." In her book, Swapna described her love for Delhi in the words of the 18th century Urdu poet Mir– "Why do you mock at me and ask yourselves Where in the world i come from, easterners? There was a city, famed throughout the world Where dwelt the chosen spirits of the age Delhi its name, fairest among the fair Fate looted it and laid it desolate And to that ravaged city I belong" "The book is a wonderful and much needed introduction to the history of the old city of Delhi and a welcome addition to the literature on Shahjahanabad," said William Dalrymple. The book was made possible with the support of YES Institute and YES bank.
