Shaadi SZN Special: All The Lakmē Products You Need To Be Wedding-Ready

A vibrant mehndi ceremony is something that most of us look forward to. While green has always been the signature colour for this event, many brides and attendees now embrace shades of yellow, white, orange, and even pink. When it comes to hairstyles, braids adorned with flowers remain a classic favourite. You can choose any hairdo you like, but adding real, fragrant flowers will truly elevate your look.

Since this ceremony is all about laughter, dancing, and pure fun, it's best to opt for lightweight yet striking makeup that won’t get in the way but will still keep you looking fresh and radiant. To make sure you're all set, here are the three must-have Lakmē products for this special occasion:

While you're likely to have a natural blush throughout the wedding festivities, a little extra won't hurt! The Lakmē Rouge Bloom Powder Blush with its petal-light formula is perfect for adding a soft, rosy flush, giving you a minimal yet vibrant look that’s just right for Mehndi celebrations. Its lightweight formula blends seamlessly, with a matte, buildable pigment.

Easy to apply, blend, and define, the Lakmē Facelift MultiSlayer Contour Stick is a must-have, especially for fun-filled events like the mehndi ceremony, where quick touch-ups might be needed. It's available in two shades: Bold Drama for neutral medium tones and Definition Diva for neutral light tones. With just a single stroke, you can sculpt your cheekbones and even define your collarbones for that extra pop.

Shape, sculpt, and slay with the Lakmē Facelift Brow Sculpt Palette, the perfect pick for your mehndi look. With vibrant outfits and bold lips stealing the show, your brows deserve just as much attention. This palette features two shades: a darker one to define and a lighter one to fill in for a naturally fuller look. Its matte finish offers buildable intensity, and the 2-in-1 brush makes filling and setting effortless!

Haldi, one of the most joyous ceremonies in a wedding, it has evolved into an even more exciting affair. It’s no longer just about applying turmeric, it often turns into a full-fledged pool party where you will get thrown in. Since your makeup is bound to take a hit, it's best to keep it as light and waterproof as possible. Go for a natural, dewy look, and don’t forget SPF, as this event is usually held outdoors.

To keep your glow intact while embracing all the fun, here are the Lakmē must-haves you need on your shopping list:

First things first—since you’ll be covered in Haldi, expect to look a little pale afterwards. To keep your face looking fresh throughout the ceremony, swipe on the Lakmē 9 to 5 Eyeconic Kajal. It’s completely waterproof, smudge-proof, and perfect for long wear. Plus, with nine gorgeous shades to choose from, you can pick the one that suits your vibe best!

For an event like Haldi, where holding onto your makeup is a challenge, portable makeup sticks are a lifesaver. The Lakmē Facelift Foundation Stick is your go-to for easy, mess-free application. Just swipe, blend and let its light and blendable formula even out your skin tone effortlessly. It comes in 11 shades, so pick your match to look your natural, flawless best.

We love a good multitasking product, and this Lakmē priming sunscreen is exactly that! Acting as both a face primer and SPF, it blurs imperfections, leaves no white cast, and feels ultra-light on the skin, perfect for a daytime outdoor event like Haldi, because the ceremony is mostly set outdoors, which means sun exposure and this SPF 50 formula is a must-have to keep your skin protected.

The Lakmē Transfer-Proof Matte Liquid Lipstick is all you need to complete your Haldi look. With intense pigmentation and up to 14 hours of wear, it stays put without feeling heavy. Unlike most matte liquid lipsticks that can dry out your lips, this one provides twice the hydration, keeping them soft and smooth all day long.

The best thing about weddings is that every function is packed with fun and energy, and the sangeet or cocktail party is no exception! This event is all about non-stop entertainment—dancing, feasting, games, and endless laughter. With eye-catching outfits, dazzling décor, and a whole lot of sparkle, the vibe is nothing short of electric.

Since your outfit will already be bursting with colour, it’s best to keep your makeup soft and minimal to create the perfect balance. And to help you nail that look, here are the Lakmē must-haves you need in your arsenal:

The Lakmē Rouge Bloom Ultra-Fine Setting Powder is a must-have if you want instant oil absorption and a flawless matte finish. It locks your makeup in place without feeling heavy, ensuring you stay fresh throughout the night. Available in two shades—Neutral Nude for light to medium skin tones and Almond for medium to deep skin tones—it’s the perfect final touch for your look.

If minimal, nude makeup isn’t your thing, you’re going to love this eyeshadow palette from Lakmē. It has six stunning textures, including mattes, shimmers, metallic shades, 2 wet glitters, and even one holographic shade. The beauty of this palette is that it's for everyone, no matter what they like, it's literally the only palette one needs. Plus, it’s infused with rose oil to keep your skin soothed and irritation-free throughout the event.

Prefer dialled-down makeup? Balance it out with a rosy flush! The Lakmē Facelift MultiSlayer Blush Stick is your go-to for a fresh look. It’s an on-the-go blush that you can easily reapply after dancing for hours. Lightweight, creamy, and packed with pigment, it blends like a dream!

And, of course, no on-trend sangeet look is complete without the perfect lip gloss. The Lakmē Glitterati Lip Glaze is all you need for fuller, flawless, fabulous lips. It adds a crystal-like, 3D shine to your lips while keeping them soft and hydrated. Bonus points for the vegan collagen infusion that smoothens lip lines and has a delicious coconut-vanilla scent.

The big day is finally here—the one you’ve been eagerly planning for what feels like forever. While every bride has a clear vision of the perfect outfit, hair, and makeup, we’re not here to mess with that beautiful plan. Instead, we’re here to share how Lakmē products can help ensure you feel like the best version of yourself. Just remember: balance is key! If your outfit, jewellery, and hair are already bold and heavy, keep your makeup more subtle, and vice versa.

Here are Lakmē products to bookmark for your D-day, and if you're attending a wedding, then you can check these out too! 

The Lakmē Facelift MultiSlayer Highlighter Stick is a wedding essential that’s easy to carry and apply whenever you need a touch of glow.
