Beauty & Wellness, For Every Glow.

The Situation:
A bride-to-be from Mumbai was preparing for her dream wedding and had shortlisted 24k Looks Salon N Academy after seeing their impressive bridal transformations and rave reviews online. Even though she was confident in the team’s expertise, she made the wise decision to schedule a trial makeup session before the big day.

The Trial:
During the trial session at 24k Looks Salon N Academy, a few important adjustments were identified. The initial foundation appeared too pale under natural lighting, and the dramatic eye makeup chosen didn’t flatter the facial structure as expected. Additionally, there was a minor sensitivity reaction to one of the setting sprays used.

Thanks to the trial, the makeup artist was able to customise the entire look, selecting a foundation shade that perfectly matched the skin tone, softening the eye makeup to complement facial features, and replacing the product that irritated with a gentler alternative. The bride had the opportunity to see her complete look in advance and provide feedback, without any wedding day pressure.

The Glow-Up:
On the wedding day, the bride looked radiant, confident, and truly herself. The makeup held up beautifully through a long day of ceremonies, photography, and dancing, with no need for touch-ups and zero discomfort.

In Summary
This experience showcases the true value of a makeup trial session, especially with skilled professionals at 24k Looks Salon N Academy. It enables both the client and artist to collaborate, make thoughtful changes, and ensure the makeup is not only visually stunning but also skin-safe.

Takeaway:
A trial isn’t just a test—it’s an essential part of the bridal journey. With the expertise at 24k Looks Salon N Academy, a makeup trial becomes the foundation for a flawless, comfortable, and confident wedding day experience.

Makeup is a powerful tool that can enhance natural beauty, but its effectiveness lies in choosing the right products and application techniques, especially when it comes to different skin tones. Whether fair or dark, Indian skin deserves a makeup look that celebrates and complements its unique undertones. Here’s how this was approached professionally in-salon:

Choosing the Right Makeup Products

• Foundation & Base:
  For this session, the artist evaluated both fair and deep skin tones. For the fair complexion, pink or neutral undertones were matched to avoid dullness caused by overly yellow foundations. On the other hand, warm undertones like golden and bronze were selected for the deeper skin tone to highlight its natural richness, carefully avoiding lighter shades that could result in an ashy finish.
• Concealer:
  Concealers were selected one shade lighter than the actual skin tone to brighten the under-eye area. Special attention was given to blending to ensure a seamless, natural result.
• Blush & Bronzer:
  Soft pink and peach tones brought a fresh glow to the fair complexion, while deeper, richer shades like berry and coral were used to enhance the darker complexion’s vibrancy and warmth.

How to Apply Makeup the Right Way

• Eyes:
  For the fair skin tone, cool-toned eyeshadows such as taupe and lavender were used to create a soft, elegant look. For the darker tone, bold metallics like gold and copper made the eyes pop with dimension. Blending was emphasized for both to ensure a smooth transition.
• Lips:
  Fair skin was paired with soft pinks and peachy nudes, while the darker skin tone featured rich, bold shades like plum and maroon, each enhancing the wearer’s overall elegance.
• Highlighter:
  Champagne highlighters complemented fair skin, while golden hues were strategically used on deeper skin tones to achieve a radiant, sculpted finish.

Pro Tips for Both Skin Tones

• Skin undertone was carefully analysed (cool, warm, neutral) for precision product matching.
• The skin was prepped thoroughly using moisturiser and primer.
• Expert blending techniques ensured no harsh lines, especially at the jawline and hairline.
• Focus remained on enhancing rather than masking natural features.

Conclusion

This case illustrates that makeup is not about transformation but enhancement. With the right approach, fair and dark Indian skin tones both radiate beauty and confidence. The makeup professionals at 24k Looks Salon N Academy pay detailed attention to undertones, texture, and comfort, ensuring that every complexion is celebrated with elegance and authenticity.

The Story Behind the Styling

To celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, a couple decided to renew their vows in a grand yet intimate ceremony with close friends and family. The client – the bride from 25 years ago – approached 24k Looks Salon N Academy not only for her makeover but also for her daughter’s. She envisioned a look that paid tribute to tradition while embracing elegance and grace, tailored to both her age and her daughter’s youthful charm.

Perfect Duo Look

The goal was to style two women from different age groups with makeup and hair that reflected their personalities and suited the event’s elegant, traditional theme. The mother wanted a sophisticated and timeless look, while her daughter wanted something youthful, soft, and contemporary—both styled in traditional sarees.

24k looks Styling Process

At 24k Looks Salon N Academy, we believe makeup should enhance, not overpower. Our senior artist team started with skin prep, focusing on hydration and glow. For the mother, we selected neutral tones with a dewy finish and soft matte lipstick to highlight maturity with grace. Eye makeup was subtle yet defined, paired with a classic bun adorned with fresh jasmine flowers.

For the daughter, we opted for soft pinks and warm golds with a hint of shimmer on the eyelids, paired with a youthful braided updo. The base was kept light and luminous, with a touch of highlighter to bring out natural features.

A Picture-Perfect Finish

Both mother and daughter looked radiant and felt confident throughout the event. The makeup lasted through ceremonies, emotional speeches, and countless photographs. Their coordinated yet individual looks beautifully complemented the vow renewal ceremony’s tone.

Final Thoughts

This case exemplifies how thoughtful styling tailored by age and personality can create memorable, heartwarming transformations. At 24k Looks Salon N Academy, we don’t just do makeup—we craft timeless moments for all generations.

Overview:
At 24k Looks Salon N Academy, our mission goes beyond offering premium beauty services—we focus on shaping future makeup and styling professionals with real-world knowledge and practical experience. This case study highlights how our students are trained to handle clients of varying body types—specifically, styling short and tall brides—with equal finesse and elegance.

Training Objective:
To educate students on how to:

• Identify the impact of body proportions on bridal draping and dress selection.

• Recommend fabrics, draping styles, and silhouettes suitable for both short and tall brides.

• Enhance natural features using strategic makeup, hairstyle, and accessory placement

The Scenario:
During one of our bridal styling modules, two models were chosen to represent real-life clients:

• Model 1: Petite (5’1”) – needed guidance on avoiding overwhelming saree or dress designs.

• Model 2: Tall (5’9”) – wanted to maintain elegance without appearing too elongated.

Our students were tasked with creating complete bridal looks—including saree draping, bridal dress styling, makeup, and hairstyle—for both.

Learning Process: Under expert guidance, students learned the following techniques:

→ For Short Height:

• Used lightweight sarees like chiffon with narrow borders to avoid bulk.

• Selected A-line lehengas with high-waisted skirts to elongate the frame.

• Recommended top buns and delicate jewellery to add height and balance.

→ For Tall Height:

• Opted for heavier fabrics like Kanjeevaram with broader borders.

• Styled voluminous lehengas to distribute height naturally.

• Suggested side-swept curls and statement jewellery to draw attention to facial features

Outcome & Student Feedback:
Both models were styled to perfection, and the session received praise for hands-on clarity. Students shared that the experience boosted their understanding of how draping, fabric choice, and proportion awareness are essential in professional bridal styling.

Conclusion:
This case study reflects the strength of the curriculum at 24k Looks Salon N Academy, where students aren’t just taught textbook techniques but real, personalised bridal styling based on body type, complexion, and cultural preferences. It’s not just about makeup and draping—it’s about transforming confidence into a skillset and skillset into a career.
