Makeup by Aisha · Kochi
Kerala Hindu bridal makeup
Kerala Hindu bridal looks for early muhurtham ceremonies, with kasavu or silk sarees, temple jewellery and jasmine in the hair.
Planned around the muhurtham
Kerala Hindu weddings are often set to an early muhurtham, which means getting ready before sunrise and being photographed in morning light at the temple or auditorium. The look has to be right in natural light and stay fresh through the ceremony, the sadya and the photographs that follow.
The saree, the jewellery and the hair
A kasavu set saree, a Kanchipuram silk or a coloured silk each ask for a different balance of makeup. Temple jewellery, the nethichutti and heavy necklaces frame the face, so the eyes and the base are planned to sit well with gold. Jasmine is part of most Kerala Hindu bridal hairstyles, and the style is planned so that the flowers sit securely all day.
Questions brides ask
How early does the makeup start for a muhurtham?
The start time is worked back from the muhurtham and the travel time to the venue. Share both when you enquire and the schedule is planned around them.
Can you style jasmine and temple jewellery?
Yes. Hairstyling with jasmine and the placement of hair accessories are part of the bridal service. Bring the jewellery or a photo of it to the consultation.
Do you do makeup for weddings outside Kochi?
Yes. Aisha travels for weddings across Kerala. Travel is included in the quote.
