Archana Aggarwal Timeless Jewellery comes up with unique yet classy collection for Cocktail Party

Family functions and parties are the occasions when you can dig out your fashion jewellery. Chunky statement pieces add pizzazz to cocktail dresses and LBDs that would look too sparse without some flashy objects to jazz them up. However, be sure to stick to just one or two pieces at a time to avoid looking over-the-top, unless that’s what you’re going for.

 Each piece in this collection is unique, light, lively and lovely; a perfect balance of color and gold, shine and style, expanse and dense, the collection is crafted to bring balance and grace.

The collection includes a comprehensive range of necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets and bangles appropriate for the function. “Every piece I make is a style statement. The label is a celebration of today’s woman who is feminine yet strong” adds Archana Aggarwal.

Price: On request

Availability: Ambawatta One, H 5/3-4, Kalka Das Marg, Mehrauli, New Delhi 110030

Let your personality shine through

Don’t over powder your make-up, or layer on too much. Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself so focus on natural beauty and accentuate features to make you look and feel beautiful and confident in your own skin on your wedding day.

Bridal Trial Sessions

  • It is best to take a makeup trial before the date, it helps the makeup artist to play with colours and understand products that will help to visualise a look rather than experimenting something new on your wedding day. Getting a makeup trial before-hand can really save you a lot of time on your actual wedding day. Have a reference photo on your phone. Check for flash photography after your base or your makeup is done- you DO NOT want a ghostly white cast in your wedding photos.
  • Wear the same colour of the dress as the bridal dress you are wearing on your Wedding Day..this will help to understand what makeup colours will work  with the bridal ensemble.
  • Have your foundation colour matched to your skin tone. Moisturise your face 30 minutes before applying your make-up, to allow time for your moisturiser to sink in and do its magic wear a primer before applying foundation to give a smoother appearance and keep your make-up on for longer.
  • Give your eyes all attention because it can make or break the look. Make sure to focus on eyes wear an eye make-up primer to hold your eye shadow in place and prevent creasing. Look for colours that complement your eye colour. Enhance your eyes with false lashes. Natural lashes can look too simple so, check out which suits you the most. Highlight the brow bone. Complete the look by applying the highlighter.
  • Do not apply sunscreen as it makes your face look darker it also makes the skin greasy. Stick to regular toners and creams. Use a setting spray when your make-up is finished to give it lasting power.
  • Do carry a few products keep them handy like compact lipstick, concealer a brush or a sponge.
  •  Waxing threading etc, you can do this as close as two days before the wedding, but avoid doing it the night before because there’s always a potential for redness.

Book your hair treatment wisely keep a gap of the month for your hair care. Colour treatments or cuts should be avoided in the week approaching the wedding.
