Beauty
Stress-tested at a four-day affair in Mumbai.
There was also going to bea lotof dancing.
I didnt want to worry about it slipping, sliding, or disappearing altogether in the humid climate.
I had quite a beauty dilemma on my hands.
She shared four pro tips that helped keep my glam on point during the celebrations.
For Ultimate Makeup Lasting Power
It all starts with your foundation.
(Spoiler: It worked.)
As for blush, youll want to go with aliquid formulain lieu of a powder or cream.
If your skin is on the oilier or sweatier side, though, Id definitely recommend using one.
On introspection, I actually think I didnt go hard enough with the shimmery eye makeup.
I cant wait for the next wedding to correct that mistake.
With those tips in mind, keep scrolling for the makeup essentials that survived the four-day affair.
Indian Wedding-Ready Glam Products

The Sweat-Proof Base
Oily skin hates to see this product coming.
The balmy base truly keeps sebum in check all day.
I didnt need a primer or setting spray, which is kind of iconic.
It was so easy to apply and there was almost no fallout.
But if youre not a shimmering shadow devotee, Blushing Lizard will convert you.
Who knew that blue sparkles on a taupey-pink base would look good on every skin tone?
Half Magics founder andEuphoriamakeup artistDonny Davy,thats who.
Its a party in a pan.
I love the orange undertone of this lava-like red on my brown skin.
This gel does both.
It allows me to brush my strands into some semblance of a shape and then keep them there.
My brows were as immovable in Mumbais humidity as they are at home in New York.
The Foolproof Press-On Nail
These are the nails I think I deserve.
They were the most complimented element of my look and lasted for over a week.
The biggest MVP in my antiperspirant arsenal is this Secret baddie.
I love that its a gel and doesnt leave unsightly streaks on clothes the way some (all?)
Plus, its unscented and doesnt olfactorally interfere with my carefully curated fragrance choices.
As a bonus third benefit Im burying the lede here its undefeatable in odor and moisture control.
