Making oneself up or visiting the local beauty parlour or salon is passe. An increasing number of brides are now hiring professional hair and makeup artists to use their magic wands - brushes or curling irons, in this case to make the magic happen. Going one step further, international hair designers and makeup artists can now be seen at high profile weddings, bringing the best in the business to Indian shores. Lisa Allen, a British make-up and hair artist based in Thailand, is one such name. Her reputation precedes her and she has been responsible for making many ecstatic brides stand out on their big days. We got in touch with Lisa to know about the latest trends in bridal hair and makeup world.

Here's what she had to share:

Cutting edge tools

Tools like Cloud Nine and other award winning hair straighteners produce exceptional results due to their temperature controlled, mineral coated plates. The waving/micro wand is ideal for controlling unruly hair and styling fringes, short hair or tight curls. Also, The Ultimate O Pod is a must-try to create gorgeous volumes in a matter of minutes.

Accessories like hair donuts, sausages and padding are used to create the fancy intricate up-dos, Bohemian down-dos, romantic or edgy hair in a short span of time. The hair stays secured for a longer duration and with a better grip.

Bold and bright is still right

The Indian bride can heave a sigh of relief. Bold red lipstick, dramatic eyes and glitter are still in vogue in these times of the "no make-up make-up" look! This look will always be in keeping with her traditional red or fuchsia lehenga, ghaghra or sari.

Airbrushing and contouring

Bridal make-up techniques must include skin preparation before beginning the makeup, foundation techniques for a long lasting look, contouring, long-wearing lipstick application and use of airbrush make-up, eyelash extension and its importance in enhancing the look.
