While the issue was best tried to be kept under wraps by the celebrity couple, the media got a whiff of the same and sent the entire world into a frenzy. While we patiently waited for the gorgeous bride to drop some pictures from her super tight security wedding at the Six Senses Fort Barwara, our tired eyes were put to rest by the super subtle and neutral glam makeup that Katrina sported at her afternoon wedding.

• “No-makeup,” makeup look like Anushka –

From kohl eyes and nude lips to just the right amount of color on the flushed cheeks, this wedding look will absolutely make you look like an ethereal beauty on the final day.

• Glass Skin like Alia Bhatt –

Alia Bhatt is one of the most talented contemporary actresses with quite a large list of accolades in her collection to flaunt. She is also known as the style icon whose looks are often blatantly copied by many. Alia never shies from experimenting and we absolutely love that. Glass skin with feathered brows and zero contours is the new natural when it comes to makeup. This minimal yet elegant look requires plenty of hydration and good skincare. Give this look a try at the wedding reception to stand out from the heavily done-up and cakey-faced crowd.

• True color match like Patralekha –

Patralekha Paul married his longtime beau, actor Rajkummar Rao in an intimate ceremony in The Oberoi Sukhvilas Spa Resort in Chandigarh. The fun filled pre and post wedding festivities were like a riot of colors and celebration which peeked at us through our cellphones. Patralekha’s stunning reception look was a mix of subtle contour and highlighter with soft shimmery eyes. The foundation was true to the skin color match as there was no crazy highlighting or lash situation. Celebrity makeup artist Vidhi Salecha Punjabi created the masterstroke with her vision and swift fingers.

• Classic & Timeless like Yami –

Bollywood’s “Fair & Lovely” fame, actress Yami Gautam married Uri director Aditya Dhar in a typical “lockdown” wedding amidst close friends and family against the gorgeous hilly backdrop in the couple’s hometown- Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. For the reception look, Yami opted to do her own makeup. Simplistic base with a hint of shimmer and a classic red lip – this look is nothing less than regal. If you are a bride who wants to ditch the conventional norms, then this look is the perfect option for you.
