Katrina Kaif’s Soft Wedding Makeup Look To Get You Wedding Ready
Megan Alphonso
When Katrina Kaif tied the knot with her beau Vicky Kaushal, the whole nation went gaga with excitement. But when the photos of their ceremonies broke the internet, beauty buffs like us were swooning all over Kats au natural minimal makeup looks.
In a world where we usually see brides dolled up with heavy Bollywood makeup, celebrity Makeup Artist Daniel Bauer, the man behind Katrina Kaif's minimal yet radiant look, gave us a refreshingly fresh perspective on Bollywood makeup looks…And, of course, he had us falling in love with her all over again.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan India, Bauer tells Cosmo- "As a makeup artist, my beauty philosophy is to see the person first and the makeup second." With that in mind, he donned Kats face with minimal makeup, just like her cheerful personality and, as is always seen, flaunting simple looks for her off-screen appearances too.
Now without further ado, let's scroll through all the darling makeup looks Kat graced us with. Literally the best Bollywood makeup inspiration anyone could ask for.
THE SAGAI

The doorway to Katrina's minimalistic Bollywood makeup looks opened when she dropped the bomb- Her pre-wedding photos. For this photoshoot, Daniel Bauer gave her a flawless base with contoured cheeks and oodles of highlighter to mirror her natural blush that was gleaming with joy. Coupled with an earthy eyeshadow and kohl-rimmed eyes, which were complemented with nude lips, made her look like a happy modern-day bride.
THE HALDI

Not straying away from the minimal palette, Bauer brushed on a dramatic dose of mascara and filled in her brows to leave the crowded Mesmer-eyes-ed with her natural beauty. He then plumped up the look with nude lipstick to leave it with nothing short of perfection.
THE MEHNDI

The look for her Mehndi ceremony was inspired by Indian ancient folklore, crafts and nomadic culture. But to give this Bollywood makeup look a modern spin, MUA Daniel Bauer kept Kats makeup minimal with filled-in brows, heavy mascara and a fine stroke of kajal to accentuate her eyes. He went in with flushed cheeks followed by nude lips to complete the look.
Finally…THE WEDDING

The main and most awaited occasion, where she looked every bit of the happiest bride that she was. Bauer followed the minimal beauty brief to the T once again. Blending in with a smooth, flawless base, perfectly filled-in brows, kohl-framed eyes and nude lips, he made sure she looked lit from within.
Woohoo! Cheers to one of the most splendid Bollywood celebrity makeup looks!
