    all the best Lakshmi,
    as u have mentioned that u dont use much make up daily buying a big make up kit is of no use. instead ur brother can get good quality make up individually like... lip stick (common shades like maroon or pink that will suit ur skintone and also most of indian bridal wear) , eyeliner, kajal, perfumes, nail polish.
    I would suggest u to buy foundation and compact powder urself as it has to be the right match to ur skin tone.:thumbsup:thumbsup

    Hi Lakshmi, congrats:thumbsup
    I agree with Magicworld, just buy the essential items individually...for foundation and compact try the health and glow outlets..they will help you select a suitable shade buy applying these on your face.Also you can choose the eyeshadow,lipstick etc after testing the color on you. Revlon colorstay foundation and compact are very good. I heard Lakme blusher is best too(though I havent used it). Eye shadow also colorstay is a good one. Lipstick you can go for streetwear or colorstay. About eyeliner my vote is always for lakme waterproof. Loreal mascara(thick volume) gives a good effect on your lashes. Check these out at any H&G outlets and then you can zero down on some products. You will also love Lakme jewel sindoor which can be applied instead of sindoor on your forehead, add this to your make up kit for use after august;)

    Haha Lakshmi dont worry dear, you will ofcourse be the centre of all attraction, can any man be as beautiful as a dressed up indian bride with a lovely smile?:thumbsup I used to apply lime+honey mix daily on my hands,face and neck daily...it did help me to have some glow but I cant say it did great works on me. I did it for almost 2-3months. Was it shahnaz gold that you did before? Because one of my friend went for a facial recently and her skin broke out. VLCC gold suited her whereas it was Shahnaz for me. So if possible try getting a gold facial as trial this month. Doing it 3days prior to wedding is good enough. Since you are in diet you might be anyway not taking sweets and fried items.

    Have a bridal kit with you,which contain all the basic things. So that you dont have to run around searching for these, list can include things like...
    1. Small thin hair pins(get a few sheets of them.)
    2. 2-3 bunch of safety pin.
    3. Golden thread(my beautician didnt have it and it was a last mintue purchase:drowning)
    4. Cotton pads.
    5. Scissors.
    I cant remember more, sit down with a friend/DSIS and you will end up making a good big list:)

    Dear Lakshmi,
    instead of asking your brother to get you make up from there ask him to buy you from india, Lakme is the best go to www.lakmeindia.com you will get really nice shades. instead ask your brother to get you nice perfumes.
    Go to the Lakme out lest and ask them to test shades on you and als tell you what suit you as they would help you i normally get all my lakme make india and i love them they are so good for our skin tone.
    hope this helps dear
    love
    alpa:cheers

    Dear Lakshmi,
    first just stay cool and confident. I personally feel its not advisable to try any new beauty treatment. Also dress appropriate to what suites u rather then whats fashion.

    some tips from my experience:
    1. start making list one for things to pack for marriage and then also a list after marriage (esp. if u r going to move to a differnt city or country)
    2. start packing as and when u buy things.
    3. eat well and rest properly...
    4. double check before leaving so, that u dont miss anything.
    5. also I think its best to avoid wearing gold jewellery (unless its must according to culture) as there are chances u might miss something if u are changing in a hurry.
    6. decide on who will help u thru out ur wedding to help with dressing. select someone who is cool and responsible. and also tell them before hand about it (that u look forward for a helping hand from them)
