Makeup in summers is tricky! As a bride-to-be, you certainly can’t bet on a low profile look during the wedding ceremonies. But the blazing heat won’t let the diva inside you shine either. Follow these tips to make sure that your makeup stays intact even after the wee hours' end:

  9. For those power, lashes use a really sticky glue. Some good examples are Huda Beauty and Ardell.
